NOT TRUE if, in the commission of a crime, the perp either threatens or endangers your life, in TENN you have the right by law to defend yourself, whether you're a police officer or not..
It appears, according to the record of the Houston incident striking the officer and then trying to run him down while he was trying to perform an arrest is now way past shoplifting charges.
If law enforcement commands YOU to STOP the simplest way I know of avoiding ANY harmful confrontation to me or them is to COMPLY.
Unless you're an Army officer at a Las Vegas Costco...
