Thank you bro. The amount of people in this thread that refuse to place themselves in his position is insane to me. I can’t believe people are saying “fuck this dude” when he’s clearly just scared and confused. He’s not some criminal trying to fight them or anything, he’s just afraid. It’s upsetting that some people’s takeaway from this whole situation is “well he shouldn’t have fled”. It’s just gross.

&gt;	Its not like this fucking guy was Shaq or something

He was 6’3” 145lb and had no criminal record. He was objectively not a threat to them in any capacity. These cops could’ve easily restrained him if that’s what they wanted to do. There were at least 3 on scene at the initial traffic stop.

i noticed this a lot but too many people out there are incapable of picturing themselves in the shoes of others. 

i would like to think that if a cop(s) ripped me out of my car for a traffic violation they would put me on the ground and cuff me and then get it all sorted, but like its pretty clear in the video they did not even do that. Like at some point your flight or fight response is gonna kick in. Cops are yelling incoherent directions for him, he is surrounded. Its pretty clear to anyone with a level head that this man would want to flee.  then the cops have his car and likely info. they didnt need to pursue him for a traffic violation. 

If the cops dont rip him out of car none of this escalates. For some reason people do not want to discuss the behaviour of the police, we have seen time and time again of people complying and either being assaulted or killed. TO me at least people want to keep it in their heads that the police are the good guys as if they are not it would shatter their safe world view. The "it would never happen to me" people.
