I've seen a lot of people saying, "well, he shouldn't have been running from the police." In what sort of America is it considered reasonable to expect that if you run from the cops and aren't an immediate danger to anyone around you, you'll be shot? If that's a reasonable assumption, we have a SERIOUS problem.
We've let the police get away with some serious abuses for years now, because we thought, "well, I'm a law-abiding citizen," and "law and order." It's time we stop putting up with it. And it's time the police apologists came to grips with the reality of police abuse in America.
