They're running from the cops!
When was the last time an innocent law abiding citizen ran from the cops?
I don't even care if he had his arms spread wide like he's trying to catch butterflies and bubbles. Shoot 'em.
To me that's a guilty plea! Why bother wasting the time and money in the courts just so they can get paroled early due to overcrowded prisons? It could all be so much easier if 2 things were done.
1) Less time (or even 0 time) for non-violent offenders
2) Repeat offenders (esp. violent ones) get sent to the town square for the guillotine.
No more prison overpopulation to worry about. And with more room in there we can get white-collar criminals in there for a change.
