Every death of a police officer "in the line of duty" is solemnly memorialized and carefully tabulated. However, there is no official record kept of civilians who are unjustly killed or otherwise brutalized by police.
Each encounter between the police and innocent civilians is a potentially deadly experience for the latter. Thus the real question is not "Why do innocent people flee from the police?" but rather, "What rational person would submit
to the police if he had any reasonable hope of eluding or resisting them?" Time was an old friend would run from every game warden he saw whether he had broken the law or not, just to have the game wardens chase him.
This crazy SOB could run a mile with combat boots on in a bit over four minutes
I saw it happen in basic training!
Never saw a GW even get close to catching him.
