I really feel that he was in serious physical duress. I feel that the weight of the officer on his back compounded his ability to breathe. He was in a conundrum, give up his arm the gave him the ability to breathe or surrender that arm and suffocate. Tough choice.

When I screw up I admit it and learn from my lesson. I have trouble doing the same with my wife sometimes. Why is that?

I see your point sir and can agree, somewhat. If you felt that you did nothing wrong, and suddenly there are several cop cars surrounding you AND the lights and CAMERAS. The cops yelling grabbing you and shoving you. For what? There was fear.

Gene, people run from the police for all sorts of reasons, and normally they don't make much sense. I don't know how many times I asked that question to someone who ran from me and their answer was "because I was stupid" or something similar. That's not a reason that they should die.
Most departments won't let you chase someone for a traffic violation anyway. Here, he had several wrecks before he stopped. What if the final wreck had been a station wagon full of nuns, at high speed. Would that be worth it?

There is a fine line between due process for the cops, and hiding evidence. On one hand, I believe cops by and large do a great job, but when they don't... they don't. That is when these camera footages need to be quickly reviewed and action taken if warranted. More importantly, when a cop has done bad sh#t, they get fired and face prosecution. There has to be a fear of getting caught and prosecuted, to prevent the few shady bastards from thinking they can get away with it...

I had the UCMJ waiting for me to screwup. They have the Union protecting them. Big difference.
