See, it's this question that comes up every time. But it's not really a question. It never is. It's a way to imply that he
must be guilty of something that warrants being shot to death. Let's ask this a different way:
Why stay and be forced to answer questions and risk your life if you've done nothing wrong?
You know, sometimes people just get scared by the police and the natural reaction is to run. Do you blame these people for being a little edgy around the police? It's the same exact station where they just killed that other guy. Is running away a crime? Doesn't sound like he committed any other crime before running, so where was the crime here? The guy runs, he's
assumed guilty of something so he's chased down and tased.
Why was he tased? He pulls his knife now and is subsequently gunned down.
Since when is it the job of the police to just chase down people for no reason? Unless carrying a knife is a crime now, why did the police even respond to this? Should I report every handyman and construction worker and everyone else that's walking around with a knife? Will they be murdered too?
