I'm pretty sure that most command staff in this country are aware of it. That decision came down in 2005 while I was deep in training and policy development for our use of force curriculum, and it was never addressed in any of the policies we wrote. We did have a section on "cowardice" in the General Orders to which this case law could have been an affirmative defense.

Sometime, Ally, tell us of the story of how you ended up in LE (see, I used the term correctly!) Seriously--it HAD to have been difficult for you along the way. Back in the day, no college was required and my brother went in for a good paying job that also offered some respect in the community (hah! then he was outside the DNC convention in 68 with people throwing bags of body fluids and solids at him! Rude awakening!)
Rude indeed.
Ally, thanks. I feel worse this evening than I did this morning.
