Striking an officer is assault. Running away is fleeing arrest though it could be non compliance also but that isn't what you will be charged for and I do not support the cops shooting someone for that either.
I believe if someone did not comply with a request to end threatening behavior, that could result in a situation causing an Leo to fear for their safety.

True, however that doesn't mean that they are increasing in frequency or that systematic racism by police is at epidemic proportions as the left and groups like BLM would have you believe.

Problem is, all too often lot of the things being "exposed" end up being judged in the court of public opinion by people on both sides, who weren't there, don't have all the facts, don't know the law, and have an agenda.

Talk and act stupid, get stupid results. If you were being robbed and the robber had a gun and told you to do something or you would be shot, would you act stupid or get shot...your choice...

True, while the population has grown these events have lessoned.
Mob mentality needs to be left out of it so due process can take its course.

That's really irrelevant. If it's happening and you agree it is, it needs to stop.

So what are you saying? That the problems should just be ignored?

It's not irrelevant because it's being put forth as reality when it's not true.

Ignored? No.

But you don't have to advocate ignoring the issue to acknowledge that it's being massively overblown and turning into a media circus for the purposes of ratings and advancing a political agenda.
