    Doubt. The amount of cops who are either going to A give chase or B open fire regardless of the local laws is going to be far beyond statistically relevant. Maybe even a large plurality.

    Never, never assume that a cop knows the law. Their job is to enforce, not to know. That’s the DA’s job.

      On stuff like whether they’re supposed to be chasing people over traffic infractions it’s very much their job and expected knowledge. If you want to have a talk about state sanctioned violence you don’t get to detour to rogue officers.

      Well we can’t have the doubt without its two precursors. Thanks for being so complete.
