I have to agree, the guy didn't think this through. I don't know what he is guilty of, I wasn't there. Although it sounds like the outcome has been preordainerd. However, if he did what he was told to do and did not pursue he would not have been charged with anything and going on about his life.

I've said it before, if you carry a deadly weapon you better think ahead of time just what would precipitate you drawing and using that weapon. Unlike the police, you are responsible where that bullet ends up. Even after it goes through the bad guy. Personally it would have to be a life and death situation, not somebody sneaking around in the neighborhood.
