RE: The Police Murder of John Elifritz. No Judge, No jury, Just bullets!

in #news7 years ago

If I am reading Oregon case law correct, if you can not be guilty of resisting arrest until the l.E.O. informs you or otherwise gives you actual notice of an arrest, how are they justified in using deadly force without the same said notice of an arrest?

I didn't hear a leo give notice of an arrest, and no one is claiming he was told he was under arrest during the previous law enforcement encounter.

Wait... I'm triggering on a different noncompliance murder, in a different jurisdiction, where media reports, prior to the fatal encounter, claimed the guy with white nationalist ties , was merely wanted for questioning. I know that jurisdiction to issue BOLOs to the general public and when the spect turns themselves in, another press is release, saying the spect was in custody and the case was given to the DA to decide if charges should be made.

I guess the Ellifritz case is kinda similar, but my question really applicable.

very good question for sure. fyi This Track IS FUCKING Awesome!
