Question for you. How dead do you have to be before the "Peace Keepers" stop shooting?

168. Yes that was exactly what I was refering too

"You mean if they did CPR on someone who they had just shot???"

I never wrote there is no policy to not render aid in any of my posts.
This started with a question why is a shooting victim cuffed.
I know CPR is taught in academy to every recruit but that wasn't what I was referring too

Maybe my post wasn't clear where I wrote the officer doesn't determine life or death
My responses were directed as to why an officer would cuff the perpetrator when he's on
the ground laying down after being shot whether he appears moving or not. I wrote it's not up to the officer to determine death searching for a pulse( perhaps I shouldn't have wrote life) That is the medical team job on location . The officers job is to remove weapons and secure the suspect.

And it is SOP as you wrote also to wait for a medical response team.
Again I will say I myself have never heard of the shooting officer performing the CPR to the perpetrator
reason being it opens up a host of legal reasons if the shooting could be questionable in this climate.

The officer who shot the victim should not be involved in this ( Especially if no one else is present). If there are other officers on the scene let them try if they want. We just seem to differ on this opinion .
