I just love these strawman argument like “am I just supposed to chase every stranger I see who runs on my street?“ So let me put forth a hypothetical for you to consider. Suppose a police officer was driving down the street, when he witnessed the black guy come sprinting full speed out of this house. The only thing the officer knows is that the house has been burglarized in the recent past, the homeowner is out of town, and this is an all white neighborhood, and nothing else. As the black guy sees the police officer in his car, he bolts off in a different direction, obviously trying to avoid contact with the police officer. I think every judge in America on those facts would agree that the police officer had enough facts to warrant chasing the black guy and even detaining him despite not knowing for sure if a crime was committed. If the cop had PC, than the McMicaels had PC because they were aware of the exact same facts.

So now all cops are to presume anyone leaving a privately-owned property is a criminal? How does the cop know the jogger doesn’t have permission to be there?
I’m curious how you would react to being stopped by the police every time you left your house. It’s too bad the jogger isn’t alive to sue those two jerks for violating his rights.
