We need a “fleeing felon” statute. Cops may shoot to stop a fleeing felon. Then declare fleeing a felony...Results in more dead criminals.

They can its Supreme Court precedent... I forget the exact case, but if the cops warn you to stop and you don’t... you can be shot.. period.
This is the same as that fool kid out here in east pittsburgh that was involved in a drive by and fled when the cops stopped the car... Cop shot the punk... and the usual suspects screamed police abuse... the political DA put the cop up on trial which should HAVE NEVER HAPPENED, because even if he had been convicted it would not have stuck.. but the DA has future political ambitions so pandered to the activists in the black community.... Fortunately the jury which was mixed race, saw this for what it was and did not convict.
