Florida Man Attacks Cops with Car: Could Cops Have Shot Him?

Last Thursday, on November 9, Ralph Bouzy ambushed several police officers, using his speeding car as a deadly weapon to cause several of the officers critical injuries--at last report there was a good chance one officer would lose a leg. Bouzy then exited his crashed car, and advanced on the officers, including one officer seriously injured in the intentional ramming attack.

Not that it should matter, but this is the racially energized world we live in: Bouzy is black, and the officers involved appear to be white.

Ultimately, the officers took Bouzy into custody using their non-deadly force Tasers to compel Bouzy's compliance with arrest. Bouzy is now charged with three counts of attempted murder.

The question arises, however, whether any one or perhaps several of the officers involved would have been legally privileged to have used deadly force upon Bouzy--specifically, their service pistols--rather than limiting themselves to their non-deadly force Tasers.
