After a high speed chase fleeing from arrest?? He deserved to get the living crap beat out of him. If he was just sitting there minding his own business or had immediately pulled over, then there would be a problem. But after working the streets cleaning up after those chases, anyone who does the high speed runaway deserves to get body-slammed hard into the floor - and should.
This pantywaist 'oh no, big bad cop did something mean to the poor widdle bad guy' crap has got to stop.
