I don't get the killing at all. The police had the guy's car, they had his ID and the results of the Breathalyzer. So he runs, so what. Every cop car has a load speaker. Let him run. Then announce over that load speaker the laws he is breaking and that he will likely spend time behind bars for resisting arrest, assault, evading and eluding, etc. Announce that he will be facing SWAT on the next encounter. Announce that if he comes back its a simple DUI ticket, a night in jail and a day in court, not prison time away from his family. We need to seriously rethink how handle these situations. The police need to be trained. The PUBLIC also needs to be trained as well that you can resist arrest, assault, elude but that next confrontation will be with a lot more people and there will be time in prison. This can not be a one way solution.
