I'm a mild mannered guy usually, but when I get riled up, I swear like a Marine.
So, I can easily imagine that if I have to tell a perp that he's about to get
shot or if I'm telling an intruder to freeze, get on the ground,
put hands behind his head and don't move, I would interlace a lot of
expletives in between the words that convey actual instructions.
Would the expletives come back to haunt me later? If there are witnesses
that hear me hurl invectives at the perp, the perp still charges and I shoot
him down, do you think a slimy lawyer can twist the situation into one in
which I provoked the perp with my salty language?
Cheers,
Jae
