I just heard a guest commenter who used to be a cop say that many departments have an unwritten rule that if a suspect makes them chase him, they will beat him when they catch him.
It struck a nerve with me because I have a brother who, in his younger days, was in a lot of trouble. He was in a motorcycle gang in Los Angeles and had been in and out of LA County jail a few times. Fortunately he was able to break away from that life.
So when the Rodney King video came out. I asked him WTF was up with that. He just shrugged and said "everybody knows that if you make LAPD chase you they are going to wail on you when they catch you".
That was over 30 years ago.
