The body cam still shows him clearly riding in the sidewalk and in a reckless manner. Even if you believe you did nothing wrong you still cannot run from the police. It’s a court matter. How are you missing that point it was his choice to run?

Your first sentence contradicts everything, they were attempting to pull him over for a helmet violation and riding on the sidewalk. Not even the prosecutor said the stop was unjustified. You decide to ignore this.

Also breaking policy does not justify murder at all, there is no intent on the officers to kill him. If anything it would be negligent homicide and that’s a stretch.

You reaching everywhere to defend a guy that knowingly and consciously decided to take a risk by running from the police in a residential area where the chance of an accident is high. You keep trying to push the blame of him fleeing the stop as the cops fault.

Hypothetically If the stop was unjustified he still can’t run since he doesn’t know the reason for the stop, and that’s a COURT issue not a self made decision.

The guy died because HE decided to run, the cops broke DEPARTMENT policy stating not to chase.

The guy died as a result of his own actions, the cops didn’t force him to run.

That’s not what a civil rights violation is, and again it’s been brought up for years about insurance but still not one insurance company wants to or has offered it.

Also due process is not what reasonable suspicion is, the man was being stopped for a helmet violation which is a legal stop. He was then going to be questioned about the details of the retaliation. Completely legal and a justified stop.

The only fuckup these guys did was break department policy, and if that brings criminal charges then I doubt blame them for becoming short staffed soon.

They have licensing boards and civilian review boards already. No insurance is going to offer coverage based on how often cops are sued even when they’re determined to be completely justified. Todays environment doesn’t offer it to be feasible. This also doesn’t fit the crime of murder which will be easy to appeal, that was a political charge. Obstruction is the only charge that fits their actions.

And what civil rights did the department violate? This is part of the issue, claims that make no sense being filled, thus insurance stays away.

Doctors do that more often than you think, but they don’t face criminal trials they face civil trials. They charged them criminally not civilly

Their job is to know who gang members are and they had Intel he was going to retaliate against another gang member. They found him breaking a traffic law and attempted to stop him but he ran and got hit by a car. Nothing in there is against policy and they had enough probable cause to stop him, he decided to run and got himself killed.

Cops broke department policy, not the law.
