Wilkens was obviously stopping at the intersection. The pursuit ended there. He was also on his way down when Edwards kicked him. It's a well-known phenomenon that adrelinaline and testosterone get coursing through on's system when playing cops and robbers. So the cop was in full pursuit of criminal mode and didn't allow himself a time out to regroup. Not to worry. Wilkins will get a substantial settlement, no citation, and we'll pay for it. Edwards got his promotion. The tougher the cop, the better.
