Is fleeing an officer at a stop still illegal? Or just if the officer’s limit is speaking in a harsh voice to come back?
Also, note the BS yesterday about “we are fully looking into all the details and are not rushing to make any statements or decisions about possible charges”(or words to that effect).
Then “Egads. Did you hear the screaming of that angry mob out there? We’d better offer the cop as a human sacrifice or the station gets burned down with us in it.”
As I said previously in other cases:
Mob leader in 1880s Old West: “You get that varmint in that courtroom in there convicted or we’re going to bust down the doors and take him out and hang him ourselves.”
2021: Now BLM, Antifa and Dems saying it about an accused officer. Considered trendy now.
I don't think so.
If Antifa can burn down entire precincts full of cops and not a soul gets arrested, what's the point of any compliance?
We live in totally lawless days.
Eventually someone will start enforcing basic social order, perhaps some "organization" somewhere can charge money to offer protection around the neighborhood. Seems it has been done before.
Yes it is but it doesn't carry the death penalty. Even if it did the police would not be the judge, jury and executioner. That would be up to a court of law.
Those that say this is ok because he resisted are actually perpetuating this problem. Resisting arrest is the most abused charge in existence. Without camera's rolling any officer can claim "he resisted" and "I feared for my life" and kill anyone and get away with it. Wake up dimwits. The police are not allowed to kill people because someone does not comply with them.
Ask yourself, if the officer did what she was supposed to do and this man was simply apprehended and charged with resisting arrest would he have received the death penalty if convicted?
