Innocence and guilt are matters for the courtroom not the crime scene.
I just don't think that 99.9% of the Cops out there act in the jackbooted way you are inferring.
Use of Force rules vary from department to department. Just from the scant particulars I can't make a judgement on good shoot/badshoot. But, car theft is a felony in Illinois, which changes a lot on the use of force spectrum.
Reread OP good shoot Offender is actiing in a way in which his actions will likely cause serious physical injury.
Restraining Mom in policy actions are aggressive without weapon---- she could have had impact weapon utilized against her
The bottom line is cooperate with the Police and consult your lawyer when you make bail.
Isn't that the advice given to CCW after a shooting, cooperate with booking and utilize your Miranda rights.
If that simple rule had been followed there would be NO ISSUE
If he and she had just cooperated he would have gotten an apology and "have a good evening"
