Detroit police believe a concealed pistol license holder was justified when he shot and critically injured a 27-year-old man, who was acting violently in Detroit about 11 p.m. Sunday.
The 27-year-old man who was shot is now in critical condition. The 23-year-old shooter was questioned and released by police.
The shooter witnessed the 27-year-old having a fight with a man and woman sitting in a pickup near Lyndon and Stansbury in Detroit; the fight escalated, the man used an object to break a window on the pickup and the driver drove off.
The CPL holder approached and ordered the man to stop and told him to "not get any closer," according to Dante Freeman of the Detroit Police Department Media Relations Department. |

This guy didn't have the authority to order the perpetrator to "freeze" at gunpoint after-the-fact.
Charges are coming, no doubt. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
