The grizzly. They can’t climb trees................
Not to worry. I see no need to make any argument.
And yes, it is backwards, but some people like backwards.
The grizzly. They can’t climb trees................
“Not only can bears climb better than you, but once up a tree, you’ve got nowhere else to go. (Grizzlies aren’t as adept climbers as black bears, but they’ve been known to go after people who tried to escape vertically.)”
Just saw a video of a coyote climbing a tree while chasing a bobcat. Now that was a surprise!
02:16:28: SUV driver bolts and runs away from Trooper Domingue. Driver runs toward the SUV, runs past the passenger side of the SUV, and then continues running away from Trooper Domingue. 02:16:32: Dilley opens driver-side rear door of SUV. Trooper Domingue approaches SUV.I can't find the video at the link.
Can someone explain how you can "continue running away" after passing the passenger side of the vehicle and then find yourself able to open the driver's side rear door?
Just what could the detainee need from the back seat of the vehicle that justified him running to the car without the officer's permission and without informing the officer of the need?
Does the video clarify this?
That video is not released yet.
There is a still in the PDF pag3 3....

The point I missed was that Dilly was not the driver.
He did not run back to the driver's side rear door to open it. Instead, he was a passenger in the vehicle and opened the driver's side rear door in order to exit the vehicle.
It appears the Dilly thought that he could join his buddies in running away from the scene of a traffic stop but chose a path which may have included at least some running toward the officer. Not a wise choice.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the mid-1980s that deadly force cannot be used by cops against a fleeing person who has not committed a felony and is not armed and a threat to others.
