They stopped him for no reason. This was confirmed by the Memphis Police Dept who reviewed all footage along the route he was driving.
They bum rushed the car and cursed him and snatched him out of the car, attacked him, pepper sprayed him, and used a stun gun on him.
By this time, he obviously “FEARed for his life” and ran. Remember he was accused of reckless driving. 3 houses from his mother’s house he was caught, tortured, and battered to death.
When they first jerked him out of his car he was a bit farther away from his mother’s house. Where he was beaten to death was much closer.
There are plenty of people who are stopped by the cops who experience fear known as, “Black and White Fever,” buy you don’t see them fighting with the cops.
