Violent people generally run when they stab people, sometimes they stab someone else. When they run, it’s hard to get bullets to curve around and hit them in your approved areas. What difference does it make where they’re shot once they’ve proven they will maim people and will probably do it again to the next person they encounter?

All good points. When I first said they should be prosecuted I didn’t have the whole story, now I do. I still think it’s a questionable shoot.

Let's get back to the point I am wanting to drive home. Why can't homeowners and business owners get this same courtesy when they are attacked? The only reason this particular situation may get glossed over is because the police were involved and these gunowners helped in the pursuit. What would have happened if the cops were not there and this guy had broken in to someone's home?

It’s basic common sense to most people…. Or should be. If someone breaks into your home there’s a high probability they’re there to cause harm…. Maybe they’re just looking to steal something, but even then… IMO… which means nothing … I say don’t take a chance… light them up

And the process of them fleeing and the homeowner's adrenaline is up, would they get prosecuted for shooting them in the back?

They do. Homeowners defend themselves regularly and don’t get charged

Adrenaline has nothing to do with the law.

Here you go with "the law" again. I'm talking about the decision by a DA or prosecutor to simply be able to look at the totality of the situation and make a measured decision with that in mind or jury nullification if a prosecutor overcharges unjustly in a particular situation.

Self defense via firearms happens every week in this country and DAs rarely prosecute someone who experiences this without some kind of other circumstance

Plenty of the same happens in scenarios you just described. I would say it depends on the area you live

First off, I like the idea behind the technology.

Home - The Grappler (policebumper.com)

However, with these pew-pew cops we have in America that are just anxious to get into high speed chases, gun fights and get that cheap adrenaline rush, I doubt that this will do anything to discourage high speed chases. I think this will encourage them to engage in far more.

Police use "grappler" to capture driver after a pursuit | Watch (msn.com)

Not sure this is the same situation... just notice the amount of cops and equipment used.

This Might Be The Most Absurd Case Of Police Harassment Ever
I found this case particularly interesting. His court case can be found here.

They need to end these trivial traffic stops. Nothing but intimidation techniques or fishing expedition when they have no PC.

When the arrests didn’t stop, Saleh filed an internal complaint with the police department, bringing the attention of some of the cops, who did not appreciate Saleh’s criticism of their behavior. He recounted being stopped and harassed by two officers, Carlos Velez and Eddo Trimino, and Sergeant Martin Santiago, who followed him and pulled him over, saying the reason was a burned out tag light. After writing him a ticket, Saleh claimed Santiago then threatened him, saying “I’m going to get you, ************.” When he later viewed security footage of his car, he realized the tag light had never even been out.
