I don't know if that is true, but he was definitely running for a reason. An innocent man has no reason to run.
This is such a stupid quote. Jessica A. Cooke had a perfect reason to run, but was tased instead. If somebody runs away, it shouldnt give permission (and hopefully doesnt do either) to shoot him in the back 9 times. this would be hilarious if it woudnt be terrifiing. If the policemen havent been so fat they could easily run after him, instead of killing him. that was so damn unreasonable. If he wants to run because he is afraid for being arrested he has a perfect reason to run, which is no excuse to shoot him! He wasnt going to commit a crime or to threat someone else. He didnt pay his child support? holy shit - let him run and pick him up on another day, at his home.
