How is letting someone run not making detainment optional? What if they run again the next time you go after them, and the next time after that?
Letting THAT guy run in THAT set of circumstances isn’t remotely the same as ‘making arrest and detainment optional’ (but well done you for including ‘pick him up later’).
As I pointed out in that thread, Lyoya is a refugee - the cops know where he lived, they know where he worked - he could have been picked up at any time. Why does someone pulled over for a dodgy number plate need to be be forcibly arrested right then and there? This wasn’t a violent guy, this wasn’t someone who was a threat to public safety. He’s Congolese and thus likely had good reason to be afraid of a cop grabbing him in the street.
Maybe if he were picked up at his home or at his job the situation could have been handled in such a way that he’d still be breathing.

You didn't answer the question though. What if he runs again? Why do you let him run the 1st time but not the next time? What is the difference between the two situations? Him grabbing the cops weapon at home could result in his children, if he has any, being shot by the cops by accidental crossfire. You try to pick him up at work and he fights the cops there, you are putting his co-workers in danger. Why is that any better of a situation?
