Dave Smith: Many People Believe the Legal Threshold for Self-Defense is Lower for Government Officers Than for Ordinary Citizens. It’s Not.

 Dave Smith: Many People Believe the Legal Threshold for Self-Defense is Lower for Government Officers Than for Ordinary Citizens. It’s Not.

There’s one simple test for evaluating whether an officer’s use of force was unlawful or justified as self-defense.

Ask yourself: If you, an ordinary citizen, did the same thing the officer did, how would your actions be assessed?

If someone were obstructing a street in your neighborhood, and you demanded they move, and everyone were in the same physical positions and took the same actions, would you be justified in shooting the driver of the vehicle?

I can say, unequivocally, that if you did the same thing the ICE officer in Minneapolis did, you would be found guilty of a crime, and your claim of self-defense would be rejected outright.
