Really? I’d say he was running from the cop he had just been fighting with and whose taser he had grabbed, thus prompting the cop to draw his gun on him. He was running from the concrete threat of a cop about to shoot him, not the remote concept of debtors prison.
and whose taser he had grabbed
******************
SPECULATION , your at best believing a cop who was caught planting evidence. That destroys YOUR credibility.
He had no reason to believe he would be shot , he was unable to pay a court ordered debt THAT WAS HIS “CRIME” , he did not harm the cop , you have ABSOLUTELY NO evidence that the man harmed the cop at any time , he simply broke out of holds and ran.
He was running from the concrete threat of a cop about to shoot him
******************
I should have addressed this at the same time ...
NEWS FLASH , The cop may have warned him “I’M GOING TO SHOOT YOU” , I’ll give you that ,, but you must give me the FACT that 1.) COPS LIE AND ARE TRAINED TO LIE TO GAIN COMPLIANCE and 2.) There is no evidence anywhere that this man harmed this cop , except maybe his ego by escaping from him when caught.
He had no reason to believe a threat from this officer if he gave the officer the benefit of the doubt that he would behave rationally.
Slager picked the fight.
He's going to prison.
