    The officers confronted someone at the apartment and stopped them to ask them questions. They weren’t being “detained”.

    Instead of complying with the cops

    If he wasn’t free to go, he was being detained.

    If he was being detained, they needed a reasonable suspicion that he committed a crime.

    They didn’t have that, they didn’t do their job, and they lost their qualified immunity.

    Are you oblivious to the law?

      They didn’t have that

      They had that the moment he ran. Are you daft?

      You really have no idea what you’re talking about.

          The simple fact that you’re running from the police is enough “suspicion” that you committed a crime, especially if they are showing up to an existing scene of a crime.

          They can’t arrest you for a crime unless you committed a crime, but they have the legal right to detain you to investigate.

          Why was he running from the cops?

          If the police are giving you a lawful order you need to comply.

            What does boot taste like?

            And why do you think cops get to be judge, jury, and executioner?

                  You’re defending someone that decided to run from the cops and then later fight them. You’re defending stupid behavior.

                    That still doesn’t justify killing them, cupcake.

                    Why are you so desperate to justify murder?

            Did he match the description of the people that left?

            Was that a lawful order?

            Why did they lose so bad in court if they weren’t doing the wrong things?

              Doesn’t matter according to the law. If you run from the cops they have the legal right to detain and investigate you. Simple as that.

                So… Why did they lose in court? It’s like you don’t want to admit they lost in court. Are you dishonest or something?
