Why Running Away From Police Is A Natural Human Reaction

In a large number of police brutality incidents and police murders, the victim is not attacking police but is attempting to run away from them. This is a simple act of self-preservation, that may be risky, but it is entirely understandable and well within a person’s rights.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans believe that running away from police is an offense that justifies murder, or any other type of violent response that the officer may choose.

People call it “stupid” or “wrong” to run away from police, but who in their right mind would stick around knowing that they are about to be kidnapped for a victimless “crime,” taken to a filthy dungeon and eventually robbed for thousands of dollars when they are finally released?

Running away from the police is no different than running away from a mugger or a violent criminal. It may not be wise to run from a mugger if you don’t have any chance of getting away. It may be the better decision to hand over all your money and hope for the best, but if you have a good chance of running and getting away, you should take that opportunity. This same rule applies to police. If a person thinks that they have the ability to get away without being apprehended than that is absolutely the smartest thing for them to do.
