That’s why I said it should be at the officer’s discretion. I don’t know of any reason for an innocent person to flee when being questioned by a police officer. If they do, they made the decision themselves to put their life on the line. And absolutely there should be total compliance with the police. I think it is a great idea for officers to wear body cams.
I don’t know if Mr. Scott had any other legal issues besides being years delinquent on child support, but I would bet there is a rap sheet on him. He had to be afraid of something or he wouldn’t have run.
I think it's been established that Scott was behind in child support. There were no warrants out for him but Scott himself wouldn't have known that.
If they do, they made the decision themselves to put their life on the line.
Stop and think about that. Are you honestly saying that any person fleeing from the police should be shot, simply because they were fleeing?
And absolutely there should be total compliance with the police.

None has come to light.
