  1. Andrew – In a world full of people pretending to be experts but offering little value, Your podcasts are very valuable indeed. I learned a lot when I attended one of your weekend courses here in CO when you first moved into our state and I continue to gain perspective from your weekly output. Thanks!

  2. John, KTL KNOW THE LAW, MASS

    While a firearm is powerful, knowledge of the use of lawful force keeps one legal, safe and out of legal harms-way. As always, thank you Attorney Branca.

    1. Wishful thinking. I believe Noor and Chauvin both had knowledge of the use of force law and it didn’t keep them safe and out of legal harms way. The McCloskeys were both lawyers and had knowledge of the use of lawful force law and it didn’t keep them safe and out of legal harms way. George Zimmerman had knowledge of the use of force law and it didn’t keep him safe and out of legal harms way. Travis McMichael was a Federal law enforcement officer and his father Gregory McMichael was a carrer state law enforcement officer, they both had knowledge of the use of force law and it didn’t keep them safe and out of legal harms way. I could go on and on, but I won’t.

  3. Yeronimus Pretorius

    noor endangered his partner, and people in the neighborhood where he fired that shot. Chauvin arguably endangered floyd, but definitely nobody else, and not nearly as much as floyd endangered himself.

    1. Anytime you discharge a firearm you are endangering people for up to a mile and a half away and withing 90 degrees on either side of the muzzle. If you are exercising your constitutionally protected fundamental right to bear arms for lawful purposes, then you are justified in discharging the firearm.

      Noor had a legal right ane legal duty to act on appearances and the reasonable inferences thereof. It was perfectly reasonable for him to shoot based on his partners actions. Tbat’s not saying his partners actions were reasonable, but that’s not an issue in determing whether or not Noor’s action was reasonable.
