[peripheral] When I was hunting deserters for the USN we occasionally had situations where the media wanted statements from me. I handed them off to the uniformed officers. However there was time when I killed a guy who was coming at me with a big ass knife. I NEVER shot to wound. I was in the back alley and alone when he jumped out of a second story window and charged me. There was a police hearing and I was supported by the neighbors who had been looking to see what I was up to. (White guy in soft clothes in their alley? Z'up with dat?) Unanimous support from them, the dude I shot was a major dick.
The point of the above was that it was a situation where I hadn't "composed" any statement and didn't have permission to make them if I had done so. When in doubt, "don't" is the rule I worked under. [/peripheral]
