I think eluding should be a felony and police should be able to shoot the offender. Hardly a day goes by there’s not a pursuit endangering the lives of both the police and innocent civilians. I hope the guy heals slowly and painfully. The way he rode the bike he looked like a Harley guy on one of his 200 annual mile adventures.

It can be a felony if they meet the criteria of the definition.

Eluding Police - OSCN Statute

"B.

Sometimes eluding can be a felony. In some states it is resisting with or without violence. I'm sure that guy is going to have some bad road rash.

Police used to be able to shoot fleeing felons. Seemed like a lot fewer of them ran back then.

Guy blocking the motorcycle= dumb. He intentionally caused a crash. Plus he intentionally went into oncoming traffic right before that and tried to hit the motorcycle head on. Insurance ain't gonna pay.

Why in the world would someone do that . . . sheesh.

Did we ever learn why he was running?

I haven't heard so far.You could tell he was about to do something stupid when he kept looking up at the helicopter and realized he wasn't going to get away from it.

I heard the day after on channel 9 the guy had recently been released from the hospital after a suicide attempt in July. So he was probably trying again and had second thoughts at the last moment.
