Fleeing in a car is resisting arrest and puts us all in danger. When you resist arrest you takes your chances. Which is the height of stupidity because everybody gets off in America, so its just better to cooperate until you get to call the lawyer. And yes that's what goes down in the ghetto too.

I didn't say it was smart - just that it happens that way. And, by the way, resisting arrest is not a capital offense.

And to the other poster who thinks I am making this up: I saw it on a Cops-like tv show. Guy tries to drive around the cops and they shoot up a residential neighborhood in response.
