Reply to comment by Btetier in Tennessee officers won’t face charges for violent arrest ----- A district attorney says a grand jury has declined to indict police officers after an investigation by Tennessee's police agency into the violent arrest of a Black man for alleged traffic violations by paulfromatlanta

Running away from them after you just blew a stop sign and got caught speeding and then ran into a house when they followed you means you get arrested. If you run into a house it is completely reasonable to assume you may be running towards a weapon. It is still that cops duty to apprehend people running from speeding tickets because typically the people that do that are running for other reasons. If that's not acceptable then all wanted criminals just know they just don't need to stop. Now that you're in the house where weapons could be anywhere, your repeated rebukes of arrest are going to get you the taser.

But I did draw a line at baton strikes but even then if the dudes in a bedroom reaching and fighting, a knife could be anywhere.

You see how those are complete thoughts that don't rely on disparaging your character to make my argument? That's called grown up shit.

No one is saying he shouldn't have been chased and apprehended... if he was apprehended and not beaten, this wouldn't even be a story. Fact is, he should not have been beaten the way he was. Period. If you think that running from the police is grounds for a beating, then you are part of the issue.

It's clear who on Reddit has never been anywhere near any kind of actual "in the shit" situation.
