It’s the job of the cop to de-escalate the situation.
I’m very pro-cop, but no one deserves to get shot in the head at a simple traffic stop (even if they try to slowly drive away), including the cop.
I get your point, but criminals that run, don't stop, because of a traffic violation endanger people's lives. . .and in my opinion, those that run should be indicted for attempted murder, or at least reckless endangerment, as a car is a lethal weapon and can (and does) kill people. . .especially if the runner is solely running because he ran a red light and refused to stop. Besides, who knows what else may be involved or at play, from drug running to kidnapping. . .one never knows. So, if a guy runs because of a traffic stop, is he running because he has done nothing more than not signal a lane change, or is he running because he has a child or woman he just kidnapped stuffed in the trunk.
