The law says "recovered" not "replaced" and a DA who would lie to a jury about that is more evil than anyone they ever prosecuted.fickman wrote:. . . and one thing that muddies this principle is INSURANCE.

Re: Would it have been justified?
Texas and New York are very different. It seems criminals get away with a lot in NYC that they would never survive in Texas, especially rural Texas.Excaliber wrote:I spent over 20 years making these decisions as a front line LEO and senior police commander on the streets in real life and real time several times a week in the New York metro area, and I've had a few occasions to make them as a civilian since.
During that time I've observed that some folks who've never had to make these choices for real and have never managed the aftermath of a deadly force incident up close and personal have a much easier time advocating a much lower threshold for resorting to violence than I do. We read about them frequently here on the forum.
There are a lot of bad guys who get shot in Texas and don't even make a blip on the local news.

That's a very good reason to shoot the criminal before he can hurt you.usa1 wrote:IMO , you can always replace "stuff" , but you cant replace your life.
