[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Full disclosure: I’ve only read one article and watched the video.

Questions:

-Did she and the other officers know they were arresting someone with an outstanding bench warrant?

-Did she know what the warrant was for?

-Doesn’t the fact that he was not only resisting arrest but actively fleeing warrant use of force such as a taser?

-Assuming that drawing the gun instead of the taser was a terrible mistake rather than her intended choice of weapon, why is this incident being labeled as fueled by racism? What would a black officer have done in that situation where someone resists and attempts to flee an arrest for an outstanding warrant (not a warrant for unpaid tickets, but for something serious as was the case here)? Taser him, correct?[/quote]

Automatic license plate readers are extremely common on Police cruisers across the USA.

They scan EVERY license plate the cruiser passes (yes - your car too.  Every time).

Registrations linked to outstanding criminal warrants appear automatically on the laptop present in every cruiser (yes, they have those too.  Have for years). [/quote]

Aren’t you smart? Clearly there either wasn’t a plate reader in the squad car in this situation, or the car was his mother’s. They didn’t learn he had an outstanding warrant until they took his ID back to the squad car and ran it there.[/quote]

Regardless, the 3 police officers in the video were placing him under arrest due to an outstanding warrant for a rather serious reason. And, he resisted and was actively fleeing.

This doesn’t seem racially motivated at all. [/quote]

Rather serious? He failed to appear in court on a permit ... <$500 fine and the court never notified him so his warrant wasn’t his fault.[/quote]

What’s your point? He knew he was arrested and resisted, creating a dangerous situation and an obvious need to use force. The only thing this officer seemed to do wrong was mistakenly use the wrong level of force. [/quote]

No they don’t need to use any force for a <$500 fine and a warrant that was a court administrative mistake.[/quote]

So everyone should wiggle out of handcuffs, jump in their car and drive away when being arrested? [/quote]
