Fleeing the LEO is resisting arrrest, a crime. Sorry it is not in the LEO job description to let criminals escape justice.
It will be interesting to read what made him draw his weapon.
...”Fleeing the LEO is resisting arrrest, a crime”...
That’s how I see it...if you run anything can happen one might not have bargained for.
You people keep dodging the question:
Was Walter Scott a "fleeing felon" at the moment he bolted?
Or not?
Is is your position that law enforcement officers are imbued with the power to confront and engage the peasantry in order to turn them into "fleeing felons", thus facilitating their execution if the officer so desires?
"Fleeing the LEO is resisting arrrest, a crime" and a misdemeanor - NOT a felony - but it's plainly evident that you're gnashing your teeth that it's not a felony.

It is interesting that you care so deeply about the carefully massaged "story" of a "law enforcement officer" (and I use the term loosely) who found it necessary to "tidy up" the scene of his murder of a peasant who had only committed a misdemeanor, at worst.
@ Digital - I'm only pinging you so you can watch the wriggling. :)
