Um...I'm sure it varies, but I'm pretty sure an officer with a gun on you will pop you one if you make any threatening motion.

I've even see two officers empty both of their clips into a suspect who had fired upon them and was now fleeing. This was on one of those most amazing cop clips shows, so I figure it's even ok for cops to shoot you in the back if it might prevent later danger.

Macdaddy, here is an example of a fleeing subject policy:

"Officers can only use deadly force to prevent the escape of a fleeing subject if there is probable cause to believe:

(1) The subject has committed a felony involving the infliction or threatened infliction of a serious physical injury or death; and

(2) The escape of the subject would pose an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person."
