It's the same in other states. In fact Qualified Immunity is written into the law.
Don't know if related but I recall in Texas a shoplifter stole something and ran out of the store. An off-duty officer at the store shot him in the back and killed him, and the jury said that's ok. I don't have any sympathy for crooks, but I doubt you or I would have gotten away with it. Even in Texas you're advised to drag the dead body back into your house after you shoot them.

It is legal to kill someone in Texas to prevent theft. They have the loosest self defense laws in the nation.
Unless it was a thief whose name sounds suspiciously like Armed Robbery.
Whoever advises you to drag a dead body anywhere is just as retarded as the cops who shot Shaver.
