The point, which many seem to be missing:
Since the US claims to be a first world country, officers do not have the right to shoot someone in the back for fleeing from them unless they are a threat to the officer, or the public. Fleeing is not reason enough to be shot in the back. Brake lights, warrants for non-violent crime, or otherwise.
A gun is supposed to be their very last line of DEFENSE.
Flee from a cop? Their job is to arrest you and let the judge through the book at you. They are not allowed to play judge and end your life because you're making their job difficult. There was a reason cops used to have to be in shape (whatever happened to that?). It was so they could chase your ass down if need be.
