Or the lives of others, if he has more children he could hurt shooting him to incapacitate him but not seriously hurt him is 100% OK in these kinds of cases.Answering only to the name of the thread...
Only when a police officer sincerely thinks his life is in imminent danger.
I'm a "heat of the moment" guy. Throw a baby, I'm giving a pass to whoever beats his ass.
If you read the article you'll see that the baby tosser told the police that he couldn't breathe. Based on that and that alone, the police should have simply abandoned all efforts to restrain him and allowed him to go about his day. There is no good reason for the cops to try to restrain someone, especially a person of color, that can't breathe. If the person can't breathe then they are no longer a threat and all police actions need to cease immediately.Here's a case where I'd be all in on the cops ending a suspect's life on the spot. But, the Florida police officers showed incredible restraint. Hats off to them, I guess. I know I would not have been as gracious.

Holy crap!
This is nuts.
It sounds like he was scared because the police were chasing him. He had every right to be scared and to flee a situation that easily could have resulted in his death. If the cops weren't chasing him he never would have had to throw the baby. The cops, not the victim, should be the ones charged and put in prison.Preexisting condition being what? He's a psychopath?

I don't drive drunk. I don't cause problems just for the sake of causing problems. I NEVER TOSSED A BABY LIKE A FOOTBALL!!! I like my odds.This must be an American concept - a pretty bad one.
There are at least two big problems with this concept:
1. how do you determine that a cop "sincerely thinks" than his life is in danger(and he doesn't falsely claim so)?
2. why should cops decide based on their personal and subjective beliefs whether they should take someone's life or not?
Would like to be beaten or killed based on what people sincerely think about you?
He didn't have to throw the baby AT ALL!!!!It sounds like he was scared because the police were chasing him. He had every right to be scared and to flee a situation that easily could have resulted in his death. If the cops weren't chasing him he never would have had to throw the baby. The cops, not the victim, should be the ones charged and put in prison.

Somebody once ate my sandwich without asking and that might be a pretty close second...Very few things would stoke those emotions more than seeing a grown man hurl a baby through the air.
He did if he was serious about getting away... the problem is that he did not get enough of a heave... Anybody that thinks this might occur in their lives... heaving a baby in order to get away from cops, should watch an Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary pass... distance, arc. acceleration...He didn't have to throw the baby AT ALL!!!!
Agreed. It was the cops fault that he threw the baby into the air... if they had just let him on his way the baby never would have been in danger.It sounds like he was scared because the police were chasing him. He had every right to be scared and to flee a situation that easily could have resulted in his death. If the cops weren't chasing him he never would have had to throw the baby.

Ok, I know this is a serious matter... but...He did if he was serious about getting away... the problem is that he did not get enough of a heave...
