The dude just flipped his vehicle. He was likely in shock and potentially injured. What they did was potentially life threatening if he had a spinal injury (which even he wouldnāt be able to tell).You and I have no idea what the suspect was saying or what they were giving orders to do.
Bingo.People run for a reason. Have you ever chased down a suspect that was hell bent on getting away? From your post, that answer is no. Once you corner a suspect, they make bad choices that can have fatal consequences for all involved. If you need to get someone into a better position to see or control their hands, then you do so. If they donāt do it when asked, you do it for them. You and I have no idea what the suspect was saying or what they were giving orders to do.
Was there a weapon in the car right next to him which caused them to move him away from it before he had a chance to grab it? Was he threatening to shoot? Was there another critically injured person inside the car that was not able to be treated because the suspect was in the way?He wasn't moving, both hands visible, hands empty. Yea he's a dirt bag but Excess force is not needed to arrest him.........there goes Florida's citizen's tax money, wasted on a law suit because they failed to assess his injuries and damaged his injured spine. If he has ongoing health issues and goes to jail, he'll get tax payer funded free medical care by the prison doctor if he doesn't sue.
Tactics were poor to say the least.Story: https://www.fox13news.com/news/jeep...-south-florida-highway-ends-in-rollover-crash
Sounds like a real winner.
Looks very different from how removing the victim of a rollover accident that wasn't a police chase. I can see both sides, in this case, and at least the other officers told him to chill. I don't know that I'd be rushing in seconds after the vehicle rolled to yank the hard top panels off and pull the guy out unless the Jeep started on fire, or something. What if UglyShorts FloridaMan had a loaded gun? They had at least 10 cops with weapons drawn, waiting for Uglyshorts FloridaMan to show some sign of response.
Curious of Police Protocol from those with actual experience- Mostly because I have no idea and this scenario is one of those that are so crazy, I'm really not sure what best practices would be.
Anytime you run from capture the cop must assume the worst. When they pulled that top off the Jeep it was unknown if the guy had a gun. Police work is dirty, hard, and dangerous...I saw nothing the least bit excessive. Being an arm chair quarterback from afar is a luxury the cop does not have. Go for a ride along with a cop some evening...itās very enlightening about what they deal with.The dude just flipped his vehicle. He was likely in shock and potentially injured. What they did was potentially life threatening if he had a spinal injury (which even he wouldnāt be able to tell).
Just because he ran doesnāt mean the cops have a blank check to do whatever they want.
Excessive force was not utilized to arrest him. Pulling him out by the arms is not considered a use of force. Officers have to move fast because of the āunknownā which is how we refer to the rest of the vehicle, before itās been cleared and deemed safe. They then utilized the prone cuffing technique which places no stress or weight on the body.He wasn't moving, both hands visible, hands empty.
