Joan's Lies

So, I have to point out an outright lie being circulated on Twitter by an opponent of MN HF1467/SF1357 -- aka. the "Stand Your Ground" law currently before the Senate for debate.

In her tweet, Joan points out that this bill (to which they apply the cute monicker of "Shoot First") would make it easier to kill cops. Really Joan?

I'll point out MN Statute 609.06 Subd. 2:

Subd. 2.Deadly force used against peace officers.
Deadly force may not be used against peace officers who have announced their presence and are performing official duties at a location where a person is committing a crime or an act that would be a crime if committed by an adult.

The language very clearly prohibits a person from murdering an announced Police Officer. There is nothing in HF1467/SF1357 that would change this language.

Lies again Joan...shame on you!
