That's a load of horseshit. The responsibility for his death lies solely with the dumb **** who pulled a gun out and took his life. He didn't do one single thing to precipitate that action.

I just don't think he deserved to be shot at for that. I'd rather law enforcement watch a shitty but otherwise harmless lowlife run off into the night than take the change of accidentally killing him over a stupid vehicle emissions sticker.

JFC, nobody is saying he deserved it.

FACT: Had he not run, he would probably be alive.

Mutually exclusive.

Again, no one said he deserved to be shot.

Fact is, he took off, so isn't that probable cause for the officer to chase?

I'm not saying he deserved it by any means, but I have no sympathy for him nor will I be outraged if the cop doesn't do life in prison over this.

Unless you argue that we should reasonably expect that all cops are violent animals who will shoot at anything running, then (while a moron) this guy should have had no expectation that by running he would be shot.

Now... I would argue that all cops aren't violent animals, who are going to fire their guns at anyone who is running. I would argue that this guy, who was (according to the story) showing no aggression, had every reason to believe he would be caught and arrested. But that he had some responsibility for his shooting? I don't think that he did, to any significant level.
I may walk out my front door every day, but I don't flee the cops every day. A bit disingenuous trying to compare the two.

I'm only comparing the two in order to illustrate that your responsibility only goes so far as your expectations of cause/effect. You can reasonably expect things to follow other things...

Do drugs= You may OD
Flunk out of school= Poor job
Ask for directions in East St Louis= No tires
Eat Asparagus= stinky pee

But I don't think you do (or reasonably should) expect Flee from the cops= Shot to death. I don't think it should even come close to being an expectation.

So yeah, in a broad sense, every decision we make is responsible for everything that happens, as in my story you quoted. But I don't think it's a terribly meaningful or interesting thing to bring up in this particular case, unless you are trying to (in the tiniest of ways) claim that the cop wasn't completely wrong.

I'm not even sure that warrants the use of a taser.

If he never ran in the first place, however...

He freaked out, lost it apparently

Not sure why the cop chased him in the first place. Maybe she thought the car was stolen or something.
