so instead of trying to scare him off you're going to sneak up on him and make a risk assessment before you do anything? and if "results inconclusive" you're just going to shoot him.

maybe if you're lucky you can kill an unarmed teenager.

No it does not become a robbery by him simply seeing you, and attempts to leave with your possessions. He needs to threaten you with force first.

A retired Chicago police officer accidentally shot and killed his son early Tuesday, after mistaking him for a burglar, the officer’s family said.

Michael Griffin, 48, was killed at his father’s home in the 5300 block of North Delphia Avenue. His family said Griffin’s father, retired Chicago Police Detective James Griffin, mistook Michael for a burglar. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office said Michael Griffin died of a gunshot wound to the head.

Tuesday was supposed to be moving day for James and Michael Griffin. Michael had lost his job and apartment, and James was helping him out, by letting him live at his home.

Michael’s brother Stephen said Michael was at home late Monday night with their father, at their father’s apartment near O’Hare International Airport.



That poor, poor man. The rest of his life is ruined and his son is dead. And this was a trained police officer.
