Hey, if the cops are chasing an individual, should the individual keep on running from the cops? Is it better to get away from the cops instead of possibly being killed by them?

Hi! It depends. If you’ve done nothing wrong, then you shouldn’t be afraid of them; if you are being chased by the cops, it’s better to stop and cooperate. If you are being chased by the cops, and you’re a criminal, then the cops will not hesitate to shoot and possibly kill you. You may be right to assume that they have no reason to kill you. However, a police officer can’t assume this because they are not responsible for any harm that may come to you; but a police officer may feel that they need to protect themselves from your potential actions.
