It tends to lead to a bad outcome, especially if you are driving on a suspended license, are pulled over and then flee the traffic stop, and have outstanding warrants, and on top of that pull out a gun while running away anf then turn back towards the cops gun in hand.
The Detroit News: No charges for Shelby Twp. cop who fatally shot Troy man as bodycam video released
“Had (Jackson) thrown his gun on the grass and kept running, everything changes,” Tignanelli added. “As soon as (Jackson) made a slight turn toward the officer, that’s when it happened. You can’t wait for the muzzle flash.”Bodycam footage certainly helped show what happened. Thomas Antonio Jackson decided to not just resist arrest, but pull a firearm on a police officer while doing so and start turning towards him. A very bad decision, that.
This sort of thing happens when you teach people there are no consequences from resisting arrest cause your life matters and such:
[Macomb County prosecutor] Lucido said he's seen an "exponential rise" in people fleeing from police. "Every day, I'm dealing with this," he said.
If Black Lives really Mattered, those protesting and claiming they support BLM could certainly save a lot of Black Lives by spending less time protesting police and more time teaching people:
1. Not to run from police;
2. Not to resist arrest; and
3. Most especially, not to point a firearm at police.
