Turley accuses NBC's Chuck Todd of misleading questions regarding use of force by police

Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley clarified the background behind a question posed to Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott by moderator Chuck Todd on Meet The Press Sunday.

"Chuck Todd just asked Sen. Scott why we do not have a 'national standard' on the use of force by police," Turley tweeted.

Turley said there is a national standard when it comes to "use of lethal force" by police.

"It is found in Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985)," he said.

Turley continued, "In that case, the Supreme Court handed down a standard barring the use of deadly force to prevent escape unless 'the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.'"

Turley is making a good point about shooting a fleeing suspect that is being missed by the hysteria.  The media is applying the wrong standard.  A LEO has to consider the possibility a fleeing suspect can cause injury to an innocent party, in addition to his/herself.

In the Wendy’s case the suspect had already grabbed for the officers weapon and had his taser... if I were the cop I’d be thinking ‘if he tases me with that thing the next thing he’ll do is grab my gun and blow my head off’.

The only other option would’ve been to let him escape, which is obviously not an option.
