IN the old days if you drove away from a police check the fuzz likely will just let u fly . But today they are not allowed to do so freely. He was lucky he wasn't just gunned down. I hate to say it, but in the USA, he likely would have been shot dead.
We had a case locally where a young girl called 911 and told police that her dad had a knife and was threatening her mom. The 911 operator kept her calm and the police arrived. The man opened the door with the knife in hand and the cops shot him dead on the spot. You could hear the little girl scream on the 911 tape. She wanted her dad calmed down, im sure she didnt want him shot dead. The family want to sue the cops, but the cops released the tape of her describing her dad had a knife and was threatening her mom harm. This and the fact that the man refused to drop his weapon immediately resulted in him getting shot dead. Not just shot, but shot dead. For sure this guy wouldve been shot dead in the USA, theres little doubt.
Hes lucky to be shot in the legs only. The motto: Dont run from cops .
Maybe this incident was a long time coming, and maybe there was an inordinate amount of bad moves on either side; but the fact of the matter is that the people who know won't talk, and the folks that do the most talking, speak with forked tongues.
As the latter know shite, what with their own faulty isolated prism imbedded on the actual event at hand.
