[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottom line:  [b]he really should have just complied. It really is that simple.[/b]

And the speed with which they criminally charged those poor officers?  It was solely to try to avoid the woke mobs from launching another “fiery but mostly peaceful riot.”  It’s a miscarriage of justice they were charged so fast.  They are being railroaded.[/quote]

This has been thoroughly covered. Your reading comprehension is terrible. Try again.[/quote]

The coverage is that a crazy lady thinks that running from the cops and resisting arrest didn't occur even though there is video of both things happening. 
This poor guy contributed do his own demise, like it or not.[/quote]

Or . Hear me out. They had his car. They knew where he lived. All of this should’ve ended when  he ran and they couldn’t catch up.but I’m just LE. What do I know[/quote]

You don’t know what you are talking about. Besides being a former prosecutor I am a former county attorney (same as a DA) who was responsible for the civil liability of an entire jurisdiction. In terms of balancing public safety v costs, 
Former prosecutor here and this is spot on. He was not accused of any offense that would justify a police chase, they should have towed his vehicle and proceeded from there. The chase was wrong from the start and the reason municipalities put chase limits in place for law enforcement is because experience has taught us that chases lead to amped cops who do not deescalate or control themselves appropriately and that leads sometimes to horrific fatal car crashes  involving innocent bystanders or to acts of police brutality that both result in multi million dollar payouts. It’s a business issue as well as a civil liberties issue and public safety issue. The cops should only be chasing people who they have an actual good faith belief are an imminent danger to public safety and a kid fleeing a misdemeanor traffic stop is absolutely not that.[/quote]

You are conflating foot pursuits and vehicle pursuits. Not the same thing at all.[/quote]

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Get back to me when you’ve worked for years with law enforcement in the capacity of managing their violations of civil liberties and their egregious acts of brutality brought on by raging hormones from chasing a punk who doesn’t immediately comply. There is a reason that rational people in positions of leadership set parameters for these potential monsters.[/quote]

Since you don't seem to know the difference between a foot pursuit and vehicle pursuit in terms of risk and liability, I have a hard time believing you have worked in any capacity with law enforcement.

Though I do believe you have a political agenda and have convinced yourself that you are knowledgeable about what is going on in the real world. [/quote]
