You are correct. I just assumed that he was being chased because he was pepper sprayed.

I found another article but it's not substantially different. It does say he was driving erratically on the shoulder and passing motorists called police. He crashed before they arrived.

My bad for assuming.

Hey, it’s the FReep... assumptions are a time honored tradition. ;)

Eventually, the whole system is going to break down over crap like this.

People will just get into evasion mode or armed defense posture when they encounter street gangs; be they cops or MS13.

Hard to tell the difference these days except for the equipment and the haircuts (the cops are better-equipped and have that buzz-cut).

I’m fortunate enough to live in an area with not enough cops. One drives past my place nearly once a year.

Damn, it feels good to be free.

I’m reminded of that every time I visit a place with ‘enough’ cops.

“According to the complaint, when State Trooper Davon Parker arrived and tapped on the window, and Johnson managed to lower the window, Parker pepper sprayed him in the face. Johnson then got out of his car and Parker clubbed him at least once in the knee. Defendant Officer Loss (fnu) then arrived and whacked Johnson at least twice with his club, the complaint states.”

****

“Your honor, since no peace officer would attack a law-abiding citizen, I was forced to conclude that robbery, rape or murder was his motivation for assaulting my person——”

Does a guy in a diabetic reaction fight with a bunch of cops?

the cops applied pressure points to his ears and armpits

When those points are pressed hard it's an automatic reaction to pull away,
and it seems these police use this tactic to force a reaction to claim resisting.
And you can take that to the bank..

What a clever but wicked ploy.
