Shoot a thief multiple times in the back while he's running away? In real life that very likely would have been fatal.
shareTennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985)[2], is a civil case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that, under the Fourth Amendment, when a law enforcement officer is pursuing a fleeing suspect, he or she may not use deadly force to prevent escape unless "the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others." It was found that use of deadly force to prevent escape is an unreasonable seizure under the Fourth Amendment, in the absence of probable cause that the fleeing suspect posed a physical danger.[1]:563-7
shareThey do in the USA. In fact it is recommended to shoot the victim often enough that they are certain to die. That way they cannot sue. The civilised world does not allow such behaviour.
shareNot legally or technically, but they obviously do it all the time, and almost always get away with little more than a paid suspension. Usually it's a black dude getting shot, though. There's been some coverage about it in the news the last few years now that everyone has a way to shoot video in their pocket at all times, maybe you've heard something about it.
