[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1815508, member: 239"] Oklahoma recognizes the doctrine of stepping into another's shoes. As taught by an attorney (Doug Friesen of OKC) in the CCW class I took 10 years ago, "you'd better be damn sure whose shoes you're stepping into before you act". He related many incidents where a good citizen stepped into the wrong shoes and was later charged with a crime at least one of whom ended up in McCalester. In the case Officer Brown related if a citizen took exactly the same action as he it is not outside the realm of possibilities that the citizen could have been charged with assault on a police officer, obstructing justice, aiding and abetting and a host of other potential charges. And that doesn't even begin to address the very real possibility that the officer could have been in a situation where he felt threatened enough to shoot the citizen dead. As attorney Friesen so rightly pointed out - before intefering in any situation that may involve the use of force, deadly or not, you'd better be 100% sure of the circumstances in which you are choosing to insert yourself and very willing to accept both the responsibility for and the consequences of your actions.
