Running from the police is wrong. What the police did is just as wrong. They are not suppose to play judge, jury & executioner.
One of my childhood friends is a police officer. He's flat out told me stories about them giving beatings to anyone that makes them break a sweat. The officers in the video were forced to give chase. It doesn't matter that the guy gave up without resisting at the end. In the police bro club they HAVE to beat him down because they were forced to give chase. You are suppose to listen and not resist otherwise a cop then has the rights of GOD to beat you mercilessly. You do what they say or you deserve to be beaten within an inch of your life.
I've heard stories about someone hitting a cop, getting arrested and brought to the station. The cop that got hit didn't "get his licks in" during the arrest. Backup arrested him. So back at the station he's now allowed to beat the inmate as pay back. Doesn't matter you're already arrested and in jail. The officer you hit didn't get his payback with you and WILL get it back at the station. It is the universal unwritten right of police officers.
Police officers are human beings like all of us. They are flawed. We want them to be held to a higher standard and conduct themselves as such. It seems like an impossible task but can be done.
The middle ages used to exist too. Life was worth less. Overtime society has evolved.
We need to somehow bring change to police officers I just don't know how. It's a job that corrupts 99% of them because they are HUMAN.
We can say "he shouldn't have run" all we want but it doesn't change the fact that if cops have the right to beat you within an inch of your life for breaking the law it means they are now judge, jury & executioner. That's a dangerous precedence in my opinion.
