I'm just guessing here, but I believe LAYGO may be referring to the video, where the LTC holder was talking with police officers. Myself, I think I would have said, "Officer, I don't feel really well right now, and I don't feel like talking." That is an unobtrusive way of saying, "I wish not to talk right now", and gets you the time you need to get representation.Keith B wrote:Uh, I don't see in the link where he has said anyting other than 'he was in fear for his and other's lives'. You should provide basics on who you are, what happened and why you engsged. Sounds like he did. Nothing else is revealed that he may or may not have said.LAYGO wrote:This guy clearly hasn't thought out post-shoot logistics, representation, and SHUTTING YOUR MOUTH. :(

Sure, by this time, the officers were already letting him know he was a hero, etc. before interviewing him, and I'm sure his defenses were down. But we cannot forget that this is still a LEO interviewing you, and you have a right to representation before you answer. In whatever situation you're in when you have used your gun in self defense or defense of others, the officer may or may not be 'on your side', but could say such things to lower your inhibitions in order to get all the questions answered. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
