I don't know if the rider was in the right at any point here but from what I can see he's pulled over, looked submissive, and the police didn't do much to de-escalate the situation.... of course we don't have audio so we don't know what was being said, but there wasn't a ton of time between the police stepping out of the car and on to him |
From my understanding they would've turned them off to de-escalate the pursuit or try to prevent the guy from running again, just because they were off coming into this parking lot doesn't mean they were off the entire pursuit.
As far as how quickly they took him down, if the guy ran the police shouldn't be taking any chances, someone who runs is likely to either try to run again or do something stupid like pull a weapon.
