The "no retreat" standard should be the same for everybody. That's what Stand Your Ground laws are all about.
Not that this was a case where a valid SYG claim could be made, however.
The only difference in standards between law enforcement and 'civilians' should be that civilians don't have color of authority to pursue and apprehend, consequently any use of deadly force under those circumstances could not justify a valid SYG claim.

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
