They can pull you over?
Yeah, I'm not sure how far Campus Police reach can extend but I know that with cooperation from the local PD/Sheriff that they can extend beyond campus boundaries. I do remember, vaguely, an article about how the Univeristy of Chicao Campus Police extended their protection to the outlying areas around the campus where many students and professors live. Kind of a moat, that not ironically separates the university from the more, ah....vibrant areas of Chicago.

And where do you get this data? Can we have a link?

Because if your proof is "all of these videos", once again, do we apply that same standard to all other groups?

We see now with so much video that people like this will be quickly caught. You post the video on the news and someone turns them in. You don't shoot them.
Bad things happen to stupid people, why in the world did he try to drive away? There are 300 million people in the USA, these things are bound to happen.

Would that apply to everyone?

If we found lots of incidents of black teens committing crimes and/or being dishonest, should be say the word of a black teen means nothing?
Teens lie like the day is long. All teens words mean nothing Including black teens.

One officer collaborates Tensing's "dragged" story. Tensing complained of pain to his left arm from the encounter and went to a hospital to be checked out. Another officer said that Tensing had scuff marks on his pants and shirt that looked like he had been dragged over a rough surface.

It's a case of an encounter between two really dumb persons. The driver (or dumbest person) obviously should've cooperated with the cop instead of trying to drive off.

I suppose this is where I should note that the officer has been indicted for murder and how these things are bound to happen to stupid people.

Too bad the video says otherwise. Did the car rub against him as it rolled away because the driver was dead? Perhaps.

Yes he should have but it shouldn't be a capital offense.

The proverbial cop apologist who always find that the citizen is the problem instead of the trained professional.
