By fleeing Walt was resisting arrest, a crime. Yes, as stated already, and obvious to all, LEOs have a duty to capture criminals. If you flee a LEO that has stopped you, they will pursue you. Try it sometime.
The outcome of the court case will likely be determined by what made the LEO draw his firearm in the first place. That makes it the most important fact that will come out in the trial.
I see you're still refusing to admit that "fleeing" is a misdemeanor, not a felony. You apparently think if you SHOUT "a crime" long enough & loud enough, it will be come a felony to everyone else. In your mind, it already IS "a felony".
Yes, as stated already, and obvious to all, LEOs have a duty to capture criminals. If you flee a LEO that has stopped you, they will pursue you.
It's a police departmental policy, not "a duty".
Clearly we can see that this is a policy, by the number of local police departments that have reversed policy on dangerous high-speed automobile pursuits. They've made it against policy. If it was a "duty", then the hands of these police departments would be tied, and the "hot pursuit" deaths of innocents would continue.
Just a by-the-bye - the Supreme Court has already held that the police have no duty to protect indivual peasants - no duty whatsoever.
So, you keep talking about "duty", where this chimera does not exist.
It might be that this "duty" exists only in the violent Police Call of Duty video game playing in a loop in your head.
If you flee a LEO that has stopped you, they will pursue you.
As we have seen, this is not necessarily true. High speed police chases are one example.
I imagine that this case will add another example:
"Don't pursue running misdemeanor suspects who've given you their information & vehicle. You'll get them later. Acting like a retarded coonhound on a blood trail will get you prison, McFly."
The outcome of the court case will likely be determined by what made the LEO draw his firearm in the first place.
It will likely be decided by a plea bargain after the prosecutor brings up "the back-shooting" and "the moving evidence around" that was caught on video.
