attorney general; public statements; disapproval

SCR 1036 is a non-binding legislative resolution expressing the Arizona Legislature's disapproval of the Attorney General's public statements regarding when deadly force against law enforcement officers may be lawful. It criticizes those statements as inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading about Arizona law, which narrowly permits such force only in exceptional circumstances. The resolution calls on the Attorney General to retract her comments, issue clarifying guidance, publicly support law enforcement, and exercise greater care in future statements. It does not change any laws or impose legal requirements but formally affirms the Legislature's position on public safety and legal accuracy.
