[QUOTE="jstaylor62, post: 1775125, member: 6870"] gillman, I think you are missing my point in referencing Det Ward's death. Det Ward’s killing was right after the Tennessee vs Garner Supreme Court case or Fleeing Felon decision was announced. Police Officers across the country were discussing the various shoot vs no shoot scenarios with suspects fleeing essentially non-violent crimes. Det Ward decided NOT TO SHOOT to stop a suspect that was fleeing a non-violent crime. Subsequently, he struggled with the suspect and was shot with his own gun. The gun was later recovered with Alvin Parker when he was arrested. The suspect, Alvin Parker, was on parole for Armed Robbery at the time when he killed Det Ward. Since Det Ward had no prior contact with Parker, he was not aware of his violent crime past. Capt Harrison chose TO SHOOT to stop a suspect that was fleeing a non-violent crime. Apparently, Capt Harrison believed that Dane Scott would pose a threat to others if he escaped. Since Scott was already showing a disregard for public safety by resisting and fleeing arrest, who knows what would have happened if he had remained at large. Since Capt Harrison had prior contact with Scott, perhaps that knowledge influenced his decision to shoot to stop the fleeing suspect. Det Ward is dead. Capt Harrison is alive. [/QUOTE]
