Hmm. That young lady seems quite distraught. If there was only some way this entire incident could have been avoided.

It sure looks like murder. But it has little to do with SYG, and is not a general indictment of citizens taking an interest in law- (or rule) breaking.

Appreciate the demilitarization of police shown in the picture though. The most advanced vehicles they should have for patrolling is an unmodified smart car.

I thought most instances stand your ground doesn't apply if you initiate the confrontation. Also a guy knocks you down you should never assume he has your best interests at heart. The guy didn't press the attack, he had a case for battery but I'll be surprised DA doesn't charge.
-
He won’t be charged because there is no wiggle room with Stand Your Ground. As long as he says he felt threatened, he can empty a clip into the “aggressor”, and there’s nothing else to discuss as the law stands now. There needs to be a Reasonable Force clause

It is really, really sad that a guy died over this. But from a legal/ethical standpoint, the guy that got shoved to the ground is pretty justified in feeling an immediate threat to his person. After having displayed that level of aggression, not safe to give benefit of doubt.
-
AND guess what, 'Stand Your Ground' simply means you don't have a 'duty to retreat' before deploying defensive force. Guy shoved to the ground doesn't have many retreat options anyway. PROBABLY would have been justified even absent SYG anyway.

You are always justified in firing if you are justified in drawing. There is no situation in which you can threaten lethal force but not use lethal force.
