1.5.7. Escape. Deadly force is authorized when it appears necessary to prevent the escape of
a prisoner, provided there is probable cause to believe such person(s) committed or attempted
to commit a serious offense, that is, one that involves immediate threat of death or serious
bodily harm, and would pose an immediate threat of death or serious bodily harm to DoD
forces or others in the vicinity. Source: AFI 31-117
(5) Apprehension. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to apprehend or prevent the escape of a person reasonably believed to: (i) have committed an offense of the nature specified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4) 1 of this section; or (ii) be escaping by use of a weapon or explosive or who otherwise indicates that he or she poses a significant threat of death or serious bodily harm to the protective force officer or others unless apprehended without delay.
Downvoted for being right despite the people below not understanding hors de combat.
Fleeing does not mean surrender. Being injured enough to not be able to fight, essentially unconscious is another. You can also shoot someone if you reasonably believe they’re commiting perfidy. These are protected by the Geneva convention and war crimes themselves.

Both cops and military are taught you can shoot someone running away if you reasonably believe they will harm others.
this is so far from the truth. stfu about shit you know nothing about. shooting at a fleeing ‘suspect’ or ‘combatant’ is a big no no.

Great, go ask any MP or Air Force SF member and you’ll see how wrong you are. I’m not talking about deployed locations.
