"What are you crazy runnin' away from the police?"
"You can get yourself shot that way."
Even Hollywood promoted basic common sense as recently as 1997. The good old days.
Thought the same myself.
Also, the line that goes something like, "We're in the business of policing, not revenge."

Getting You Satisfied
(One way or another)
we're in the business of strangling people to death for selling loose cigarettes without paying taxes
shareIn a recent episode of This American Life, "Cops See It Differently," either Pt. 1 or Pt. 2, cops say that criminals regularly say "I can't breathe," and cops don't believe it in a crying-wolf sort of way. It's suggested that they take these comments seriously to prevent potential deaths, even if death is perceived as unlikely. I don't think the cops were being negligent; I think it was a result of dealing with so many people they saw as dishonest.
sharehe wasn't running or fighting, OK maybe he wasn't kissing police butt they way the cops wanted, but I saw nothing in the cigarette video that justified any violence, write the guy a ticket
