Cobb County Bank Robber met the wrong customer.....

Ok, so let's run this scenario.

Bad guy says forget this and gets up and starts walking away. Good citizen orders halt but he doesn't comply.

Citizen shoots and kills bad guy.

What happens now?

Citizen takes knife out of pocket, wipes off prints, puts knife in BG's hand. Problem solved. About the same as planting drugs during botched raids or traffic stops.

Kidding of course. I'm sort of surprised that didn't happen (BG get up and walk away). Personally, once he's on the ground I'm on him anyway until someone else comes to assist to prevent that from happening. Then the quick cuffs come out of my bag.

Funny, but not so funny sometimes.

Saw this earlier today. Watch the video but listen to the report towards the end. Anytime an Officer is previously investigated for planting evidence by the Feds makes you wonder.

Do you think really someone would try to take the chance to run with a loaded weapon pointed at them AFTER voluntarily getting on ground?

Not at all. Just a hypothetical situation.

Looking for guidance and hoping any potential heroes out there think before they pull their piece and shoot someone.

Hayata , I agree with you 100% laws Are very funny in situations like this. Could even be charged with unlawful detention.

One of the good guys for sure. Will this make national news? Probably not

Yes! As a retired cop of 24 years I can tell you it often does happen. Some people fail to grasp the length a desperate person is willing to go to in order to escape or succeed.

I admire the bravery of the concerned citizen, but his life or safety was not at risk nor was that of any other citizen at that time. He probably should have gotten a tag number and called 911.
