Huh, I don’t know why but I thought at first it was going to be that people could claim SYG on police and shoot them.

So, because cops now have blanket authority to shoot anyone they feel ‘threatens them,’ does that mean black people have the authority to shoot an officer they feel is a threat in return? Because...yeah, every officer just became a threat to black people.

Self-defense has ALWAYS been constitutional.

It should apply to police, but in the opposite direction.

Pigs gunna pig even more now.

So when do BLACK citizens start to get shoot white police officers under stand your ground laws out of fear.  What Black citizens doesn’t feel fear when white police come around anyways?  This just sounds like new jim crow and new black codes.

Did you even read the article? Do the police not already have this right and then some? (hint: they do)

♬♫ Stand by your ground.
Stick up two arms or get shot.
You know the cop’ll get off
When the jury’s white and racist… ♪♫

Don’t worry, the Supreme Court will judge him fairly

I vote C2 vertebra.

Works for me.

How is this even Constitutional?

Why not both?

Ah, good.  It was getting too difficult for police to shoot people and not face consequences for their actions.

This will be cool as long as only black folks get killed. Let just one rich white person get killed. They will put an end to this law over night.

Hooray! The police can officially murder anyone they want with no repercussions now. Remind me to stay the fuck away from Florida!

Leg or arm?

There will be a case where a LEO is shot by a citizen - and the citizen will then invoke Stand Your Ground.
