I'll try again: It's easy to justify the use of deadly force under those circumstances.

It's not written in law, it's just common knowledge.VMI77 wrote: Uhhh....where in the law does it say police can kill people who run from them? I realize we're no longer under the rule of law....but just sayin'.
You run from the police, you're a felon.
Run from the police in a car, you're using a deadly weapon.
You're creating a real and immediate danger to the officers and the public.
Pretty easy to justify summary execution under those circumstances...

You keep both hands on the steering wheel and your polite and pass the attitude test.
Doesn't matter the race, you run from the police, bad things will happen to you, including death.
If you have a CHL, and you run from the police, they will assume you are armed and a real danger.
A CHL in Houston did just that, and he did not survive.
I get more and more afraid of the police every day... It's already to the point where I'm not going to call them to the house.
This incident was nuts. I was reading something the other day that indicated that people are much more likely to engage in fringe behavior when you're part of a "pack"... Good example here.

Wow:
A fleeing driver and passenger were killed when officers fired 137 shots at them in the 23-minute chase that involved five dozen cruisers and wove through residential neighborhoods before ending in gunfire.
The nighttime chase began last November when an officer thought he heard a gunshot from a car speeding by the police station in downtown Cleveland. A parking lot attendant thought it might have been a car backfire, a theory endorsed by the driver's family.
No weapon or shell casings were found in the fleeing car.
