6. I see two potentially reckless things

On the gas station video, he leaves to the left, then comes back going the wrong way in the far lane. Then it seems like he ran a red light to make a left turn. You can't see the lights, but the traffic perpendicular to him when he enters the intersection is just cruising through it, and the police slow as they approach the intersection to pursue.

So, I think maybe there was cause for the police to pull him over. Certainly by that point in the pursuit, he was breaking laws and being reckless.

I'm sure we'll get more info and dash cam. But based on the short gas station video, a run red light and going the wrong way would be justifications for me.

The question is, "How did this start? What prompted this?" Because by the time the video below begins, it seems like the police were already after him.




It's very tragic he died. But I don't think summoning for pitchforks without facts being provided is responsible.
