I think the solution most of these problem is to reduce the number of unnecessary police patrols. I've posted about seeing an increase in the amount of police pulling over people for minor traffic infractions. I'm not talking about speeding, just simple moving violations that are completely harmless.
When I was pulled over a year ago, I ask the officer what I did wrong in a very civil manner and he just barked back at me and say "you know that you can turn that way and that's exactly what you did."
He didn't need to speak in that way to me, all he needed to do was tell me the violation and issue the summons but we have cops today that all feels they are above everybody and applies that mentality to everyone. They need to remember who they serve, not themselves.
If patrols are reduced, it minimizes the amount of unnecessary confrontations and high speed chases. A lot of innocent people died as a result of car chases for simple violations.
So if we reduce these patrols and a drunk driver or a thug with no license like this animal runs over you or your children fleeing police , would that be okay? Thugs drive around with no driver licenses and dope and guns in their cars, most of these criminals are caught by traffic stops. The Oklohoma City Bomber (a white dude by chance) was stopped for a broken taillight and arrested for a suspended license, well guess who he turned out to be. We have to increase these stops to get these thugs off the street, unless a certain group is now immune from traffic laws and listening to police officers instructions. This thug was up to no good he had multiple police contacts and baby mommas, sounds like a thug to me. He was obviously up to no good if he wanted to take off. But if he ran over a young black child fleeing from police I wonder if black lives would still matter
I've had a couple of experiences with cops that I thought were "dumb", but not abusive or dangerous. But I have begun to think more and more -- as a White citizen -- of all the risks involved in even a simple traffic stop.
One time I made the mistake of getting out of the car when the cop pulled me over. I didn't know any better. I thought that's what I was supposed to do...and sometimes in videos you see them order people out of the car. He started screaming to get back in the car, fortunately without pulling his gun. So I did. Misunderstanding.
Another time I was asked for my license and registration. I had my wallet in the console next to the driver's eat. Yelled at again, this time for getting what was asked for.
What about people who keep their registration in the glove compartment?
What about people who keep it in the visor?
Sometimes, depending on where I am, I might put my wallet in the door valet.
I haven't been pulled over for a traffic violation in 7 years now, but if I were I would be afraid of the cop. Too unpredictable. Too many cops out there afraid of their own shadow. And too many who see themselves somehow above the law. When I was a kid I was raised with the motto that "the policeman is your friend". I don't believe that crap anymore.
And here's what bothers me most of all -- the more they become distrusted by the community, the more they hunker down and do the same stuff over and over. They are drowning in a vicious circle they have often created by themselves.
Kind of funny I say the same thing about teachers and educators now a days , so far six of them have been arrested for sexually abusing children. If you replaced teachers with computers and iPads you would not have these issues and save millions on over bloated school budgets and administrators salaries
At his arraignment the cop entered a not guilty plea and said he "feared for his life." This is the mantra of these bad cops. Now can a citizen adopt the same? I bet they are a lot of people in this country who are afraid of cops. Whenever I see one, negative images pop up in my mind of all the bad things a cop can do... and later get away with it, video or no video.
More people are afraid of thugs especially the ones in Baltimore who murdered 40 people last month.
Cops run the plates before they even get out of their car. If the car was stolen, that would be known already.
As for the rest of your post; make-believe is for kids, remember that!
Fine, let him plead not guilty. He's going to get a much longer sentence.
Why would it be known, so if the thug just broke into the car around the block and got stopped two blocks away or just robbed a grocery store , would the cops crystal ball tell him.

well..maybe because cops have things called radios in their cars and they can hear what other police activity is taking place duh

So if the crime just happened and it wasn't reported yet, a crystal ball would come on and tell the cops what happened. These are why cops check suspicious vehicles and criminals to catch people like this thug in the act.
It looks like the guy may have been taking off, but I certainly didn't see the cop being dragged. From what I could tell, the shooting appears totally unjustified. That's what juries are for though, they will weigh all the evidence.
Cue the racists.... Those that try so hard to bash a whole group of people, prob are hiding their own crimes and thuggish behavior? Meth addicted bank robber maybe? Nice suburban family guy who robs pharmacy? Idk man. You trying way tooooo hard to be Dylan roof.
