Can't really de-escalate without communicating.

Moreover - and this has yet to be publicly confirmed by some official - the kid, which police couldn't know was a kid - was fleeing because the car was declared stolen, the license plate tagged, and part of a drug money laundering scheme using stolen Polish rent-a-cars the dealer which was employing the young man was running.

Moreover - <a series of incredible escalatory claims with absolutely zero sources>.

This comment fails to contribute meaningful discussion at best, and at worst is openly attempting to spread misinformation.

Have you heard of the web? A quick Google search takes you far.

"he was 'known to the police, particularly for resisting arrest', and had been charged with resisting the previous weekend and five times since 2021. His judicial file included 15 recorded incidents, including use of false license plates, driving without insurance, and for the sale and consumption of drugs."

The only one "spreading misinformation" here is you who claims that endangering people with a car is a "traffic violation".

In short, sounds like you're the one with the "narrative agenda" here.

Not all cops are bad or "petty tyrants", as you call them, but if a person decides he wants to be a criminal, he risks getting killed, especially if he himself risks killing other people.
