How exactly do you come to that conclusion? Aren't you the one that says a crime involves theft or damage to property? They stole a car FFS and were running from the police.

I think you should re-watch the video you posted. The gal on the left put it rather clearly. A stolen car does not warrent a high speed pursuit that is likely to endanger the public.

So if I steal your car the cops should just let me go as long as I start driving fast while trying to get away.....

I don't agree with you very often but there is very few justifications for high speed chases.

Had a couple of deaths here in Charlotte and they are not even supposed to chase you anymore unless certain conditions apply. If you are in your own vehicle, they have your tag on camera anyway. Or, we have several ghetto birds...copters..and you can never outrun the eye in the sky. I ran from a couple cops when I rode a rice rocket back in the day, but my tag was shaved and moved back behind my rear tire where it was really hard to see. Plus, they weren't on my butt. Passed cops going the other way on 4 lane divided road and when they hit brakes to turn around, just opened it up. They will never catch a rocket that way unless you're dumb. I would kill it for a mile or 2, pull off, and cut the bike off so they wouldn't hear it...only did so out of necessity. If you get pulled running 80 or 90 in a 45 or 55 you are in a lot of trouble.

Innocent Couple Would be In Jail Had they Not Secretly Recorded this Corrupt Cop Extorting Them – The Free Thought Project

The system protects their own. This is why the entire system needs to be uprooted and purged from the top to the bottom. Cops are obviously acting upon the direction of these courts and prosecutors.

Of course, Clayton County District Attorney Tracy Lawson denies that Kidd had any contacts within the office. But in the conversation, it sounded like this was a frequent practice for this corrupt cop.

Going to the cops is tantamount in many instances to going to the foxes and asking them to defend their coop from chicken egg snatchers.

“Instances such as this undermine public trust and confidence in our judicial system,” said attorney Darryl Scott. “Their sense of security has been violated, and they did exactly what they were supposed to do by contacting law enforcement, and it backfired.”

Duty bound...

To say that this instance undermines the trust is accurate and the reason for so much of the divide in America today. Law enforcement in this country, we are told, is composed of heroic men and women who put their lives on the line every single day to maintain order. However, this case, and many more like it, sends this fantastical facade crumbling to the ground.

Eighth-grader's $2 bill sparks police investigation in Houston - Washington Times

“I went to the lunch line, and they said my $2 bill was fake,” Danesiah told the news station. “They gave it to the police. Then they sent me to the police office. A police officer said I could be in big trouble.”

So wait... we have the will and desire to arrest alleged 8th grade counterfeiters, but these cops and law enforcement agencies have no problem letting the likes of Janet Yellen, Ben Bernanke, Jamie Dimon, Barack Obama and others just walk the streets?

Every police force in the country should be equipped with body cameras and in car cameras with no way to turn them off. That's the only way to end corruption and police looking the other way to protect their own.

Some follow up in a thread that rarely follows up:

Ex-Oklahoma deputy Robert Bates guilty of killing unarmed suspect - CNN.com

A jury found a sheriff's deputy guilty of second-degree manslaughter Wednesday in the fatal shooting of an unarmed suspect.

Robert Bates, who was a volunteer reserve sheriff deputy for the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office last year at the time of the shooting, never denied shooting Eric Courtney Harris.

Bates, 74, said he meant to use his Taser stun gun, not his revolver, on the suspect, who had been tackled by other deputies and was being held on the ground.

The jury deliberated less than three hours and recommended Bates serve four years in prison, the maximum possible sentence. Preliminary sentencing is set for May 31. After the verdict, Bates was escorted out of the courtroom by two deputies from the department he once served.

Come back when sentencing is decided. I think 4 years is already a slap on the wrists, but if they are given the option to lessen the jury recommended sentence, I would be surprised if they sentence that old man to more than 2 years.

Please keep in mind we've already seen people murdered on film and the police walked away with no charges. While a nice thought, it's a fantasy.

I can't follow up on every last one of these cop cases. Cops are assaulting civilians at a record pace. I figured it would be a lot easier for you since you are in Oklahoma to at least follow up on this particular case.

Am I asking too much?

There is no way humanly possible anybody could keep up with all of these case... I told you that a few weeks ago when you tried to attack me about the Walter Scott case.
