REGARDING:
“I just don’t understand why they choose to run from police officers .if you obey the law like the rest of society we won’t have to worry”

Generally, that is true, but there are exceptions.

One officer recently shot and killed a person during a traffic stop. Some believe he meant to grab the registration being handed to him upon his request, but squeezed the trigger in the other hand instead.

Other prejudiced people decided all cops are alike and all will shoot them down if given a chance. Prejudice is an irrational thing.

There was also a recent example of a man who knew if he stopped, he would be found in possession of numerous items forbidden to a convicted felon such as himself. Since he had stolen plates on his car, if he could elude the law enforcement officers, he stood a fair chance of avoiding prison. His reckless driving resulted in him killing himself instead.

Driving without buckling your seat belt is unwise.

Most people aren’t in that position and really SHOULD stop when ordered, though.

David for better people

@Southern-does not look like he was punched. Look at this fellows arrest record and you’ll find a lot of traffic cases plus felony battery/felony drugs/res.arrest and now this. looks like there is no hope for some people.

I just don’t understand why they choose to run from police officers .if you obey the law like the rest of society we won’t have to worry and for the ones that don’t obey the law they should lock em up and throw away the key

>>William, are you blaming the escambia county sheriffs office?

Not blaming. Stating fact. Escambia AL does not have a no chase policy, as demonstrated, while Escambia FL won’t chase someone 20 yards due to a no-chase policy. And, as I stated, there was a big difference in the accused crimes — armed robbery vs. no turn signal.

In the previous story, the suspect fled from the Escambia County (ALABAMA) Sheriff’s Office which will chase a suspect across four counties at 100 mph.

William, are you blaming the escambia county sheriffs office?

@Really– did you think of reading the first story as a reminder of “what is really going on here”?
