>>So, you’re saying that because this is America, cops should NOT be chasing you when you run as they approach?
>>They should just let you go?
There is no “let you go” when they didn’t try to arrest him. He saw cops and ran. They didn’t call out to him to stop and then he ran. A citizen does not have an obligation to present himself to the police for permission to continue on his way.
It’s disgusting how some people on “Free” Republic are so in favor of a police state.
Yup. Bootlickers.
Cops have a tough job. So do many of us who pay their salaries. They should and must be held to a high standard of conduct.

You ignore one thing -— this area is a KNOWN drug trade area.
RE: They didn’t call out to him to stop and then he ran.
You and I don’t know that. We still need to find out if there was a call to stop.
