Ergo, cop decides just to sit back and intentionally allows you to be injured because he’s a coward, late for his 10AM donut run, or just plain lazy . . . no legal recourse.

If cop screws up and acts illegally and injures you . . . he gets a pass unless it was “clearly settled law” that exactly what he did was illegal (which almost never is the case).

But if one of us non-LE’s use deadly force to protect ourselves or others, even if it’s justified in much of the country it’s still going to be open season on us.

* Trap in which people congregate and are falsely promised safety by a make believe force field of a ‘No Guns” prohibition.

* A place where people are disarmed and not permitted self-defense with firearms.

* Hunting grounds for violent predator criminals and violent mentally ill killers where defenseless prey is guaranteed by law.

* Place where existing laws against violent crimes do not work to prevent violent crimes the laws are touted to be able to prevent.

* Places designed to attract violently mentally ill predators.

* Places where police forces cease to operate to protect before the fact of a violent crime as they are touted to be able to do by politicians implying.

Oh, she’s screwed herself.

She gave a statement on the day of the shooting that said :

“I just, I don’t know. I wish I would have checked it more.”

We can only hope Baldwin made a similar damming statement when his trial (eventually) starts…
