That's not what happened.
The suspect had stopped running and was totally complying when the gangland beating started.
Once he ran, and made the cops chase him, and miss their stop at Dunkin’, they were bringing an @$$whuppin’ WITH ‘em!
I’m not taking up for the fuzz, man. I’m just telling you how it goes down. Once the perp RUNS, his butt is THEIRS! He doesn’t GET a do-over!
