First of all it sounds like you’re completely oblivious to the law and how the real world works.
Second of all did you even bother reading the article? The cops were called to the apartment due to domestic violence reports. The officers confronted someone at the apartment and stopped them to ask them questions. They weren’t being “detained”.
Instead of complying with the cops he immediately ran. When finally confronted he started fighting. This went on for 7 minutes. 7 minutes is a long fucking time to be fighting someone.
He wasn’t “executed” like all the super dramatic folks in here are saying. He died several days later in the hospital.
Running from the cops is always the wrong idea. Fighting the cops will only be met with further escalation.
The simple fact that you’re running from the police is enough “suspicion” that you committed a crime, especially if they are showing up to an existing scene of a crime.
They can’t arrest you for a crime unless you committed a crime, but they have the legal right to detain you to investigate.
Why was he running from the cops?
If the police are giving you a lawful order you need to comply.
Resisting arrest is a crime. But it’s not a crime you can be arrested for.
You have to be under arrest for something in order to resist arrest. Then they can add that as a crime.
So tell me, what was he being arrested for? Because I’m pretty sure he was actually resisting illegal detainment.

If he wasn’t free to go, he was being detained.
If he was being detained, they needed a reasonable suspicion that he committed a crime.
They didn’t have that, they didn’t do their job, and they lost their qualified immunity.
Are you oblivious to the law?
They had that the moment he ran. Are you daft?
You really have no idea what you’re talking about.

What does boot taste like?
And why do you think cops get to be judge, jury, and executioner?
No idea. Why do you defend stupid behavior?
That’s a question you should be asking yourself, sparky.
Did he match the description of the people that left?
Was that a lawful order?
Why did they lose so bad in court if they weren’t doing the wrong things?
Doesn’t matter according to the law. If you run from the cops they have the legal right to detain and investigate you. Simple as that.
So… Why did they lose in court? It’s like you don’t want to admit they lost in court. Are you dishonest or something?
