Comment | Nah, I got my understanding of what an American police officer can and can't do from an American officer who spent some time on secondment with my company. A US police officer can shoot a fleeing suspect if they perceive them to be a threat later - a British soldier (or an American one for that matter) would have committed a war crime if they did such a thing.
Perhaps your bleating about ignorance is a teensy bit of projection. |
