I'm not sure when this thought process of "if they make me chase them, I'm allowed to execute them" started with some cops, but this is ridiculous.
Yes, they're not supposed to run from you. No that doesn't mean you can kill them.
In the video it shows he wasn't chasing him. He was holding door shut on the cop . The cop then fires immediately instantly killing him and the car then takes off.
Why wasn't Dubose following orders? Why was there a bottle of gin in the car? Why wasn't the front of his car tagged? Why did you try to flee? Why was he driving with a suspended license?
Spoiler!
This isnt the time to troll.

All great questions they could have asked him after detaining him. None of them are relevant to his murder, though.

Spoiler!
Why are any of these reasons to shoot him?

He drove off while the officer was affixed to the car which dragged him down the street. His life was in danger.
This video shows that he lied about being dragged down the street. This did not happen and the officer made it up. County prosecutor press conference reveals this at about 2:30 into the video.

Even if this was the case (the whole point of the article is that he was not in fact dragged), how does shooting the driver help the officer at all in that scenario? Affixed by what, a piece of clothing? Better to shoot your shirt than the driver, who now has no control over a moving vehicle.
Seriously man, everything you say is face-palm inducing.

Yes, these are definitely all things that are punishable by death. Good work.
