Why run for no reason? As it played out, seems like he had good reason. The knife the cops swore to was not a switch blade, but a legal knife. The cops lied about about probable cause. Watch the TV show COPS and you will see that cops hassle people they see on the streets that have been arrested before. Besides, why he ran is a moot point. He was arrested wrongly and mistreated while in custody.
RE: He was arrested wrongly and mistreated while in custody.
As I said before, if you’ve done nothing wrong, you don’t need to run. If the cops arrest you wrongly, you can always SUE them. There are many lawyers who would be willing to take your case.
