Until I see a video where the suspect puts his hands behind his back, cops put him in cuffs and then shoot him, I wont care. If you are surrounded by cops serving a felony warrant and you flee....play stupid games, win stupid prizes..
Yeah, the “back of the head” in the headline made it sound like an execution, versus some $$$$-hungry lawyer trying to make it sound as bad as possible as their client fled the cops.
“She said she counted as many as eight deputies in the video, some wearing tactical uniforms and some in plainclothes.”
Ummmm...they don’t send 8 deputies to arrest someone for jaywalking.
“In March, narcotics officers used the informant to conduct controlled purchases of methamphetamine and cocaine from Brown on two separate occasions, according to the warrant, which said both drug transactions were recorded using audio and video equipment.”
Selling drugs, fleeing the scene to avoid arrest. May be a questionable shoot. Or may be totally justified. I’ll wait to see. But the headline is misleading.
When I was young there was a Fleeing Felon Rule, at leas here. Run from a cop and get shot. An officer shooting an unarmed man in the front was more apt to get into trouble for it than shooting a fleeing man in the back.
Fleeing from the police and if they would have gone after him it could have endangered a lot of people. Probably would have been a high speed chase.The guy was an idiot who’d probably been watching too much liberal news.
