But I also know the suspect shouldn't have been fighting them in the first place.

You get labeled as a racist if you say this publicly. Because self entitled individuals are the majority of todays population, therefore they become the loudest voice. Demonize a police officer who made a horrible error, and completely ignore the criminal who disobeyed orders and tried escaping because he did not want a ticket. The sad truth is, he wouldn't be dead if he didn't try escaping. But society keeps teaching these kids that The police officers are wrong, when in reality the actions of these kids are wrong too. But only one is demonized. Thats why I stopped listening to the whole demonizing police movements that the US vocal majority have been pushing.

If he took his tickets like a man, he wouldn't be dead. But he made horrible choices to fight/escape Police and those actions had consequences. As they usually do in all of these encounters where death happens. They're not ready for that conversation. When I get pulled over by cops, I'm pissed because now I have to pay a ticket. But you should see how I turn into a "yes sir no sir" military acknowledgement, because I just want to give them what they want and I want to go home. Can everyone else start doing the same? For fucks sake, I'm tired of these topics.
