MO HB602

Removes the requirement that deadly force must be "immediately necessary to effect the arrest" before an officer can use it, while retaining justifications for deadly force when a suspect has committed a felony, is escaping with a deadly weapon, or may endanger life

Requires immediate suspension without pay when an officer uses deadly force against an unarmed person who is 20 feet or greater from the officer and poses no imminent danger, pending completion of a full investigation

Maintains that physical force during arrest is only justified when the arrest is lawful or the officer reasonably believes it is lawful

Preserves officers' authority to use reasonable physical force to effect arrests or prevent escapes without requiring them to retreat due to resistance
