However they see fit? Like, sexual assault? Shooting wildly into a crowded area? Taking a bribe to forget the whole thing? Grabbing an innocent bystander as a hostage? Nuclear weapons? Hunting down your kin and erasing all traces of your bloodline?
if someone runs from a routine traffic stop, the cops will assume it’s because you have something bigger to hide, and they’ll react accordingly.
i used to be a bad guy. I’ve been arrested countless times, and most of them for good reason.
i never ran, always complied, and the cops were usually good to me. it’s common sense that if you run from a traffic stop, they’re gonna think you have drugs or guns or something much worse going on than just a simple traffic ticket.
don’t run from cops when you’re in the wrong. simple as that
If the cops yell “hey you stop” at a cyclist who rolls a stop sign in the middle of a bunch of hostile car-centric infrastructure and the cyclist keeps riding, the correct response is for the cops to go fuck themselves.
It’s absolutely not though. Most places have clear rules on how cops can pursue, grounded in concern for public safety. And even if they don’t there are standards for what level of force is reasonable for a given suspected crime. In this case it wasn’t even a suspected crime, it was a suspected civil violation.
Not to mention that he yelled profanities at them 😱 C’mon, four policemen jumping all over him?
I’m all for going after corrupt or violent cops, but if they’re pulling you over for a legit reason, and you run, that’s on you.
running from the cops is giving them permission to physically stop you, however they see fit.
Hey, bootlicker! Go fellate an officer’s service weapon!

Uh, nope. Not however they see fit. We’re all human and we all deserve kindness and compassion.
