You are being followed by half a dozen marked and unmarked police cars. (That is the number I can count, though there may have been more cars.) How do you think you are going to get away? How are you going to shoot your way out of the situation? Maybe dying would have been preferable to this guy. It is almost surprising to me that he didn't die. First aid has gotten much better in recent years.
Had Tavon Macklin died, I'm sure there would have been "Justice for Tavon" riots. They don't hold peaceful protests for dead criminals, even if they win the Darwin award.
Here is a news story that covers the incident. IMPD releases bodycam and surveillance video from officer-involved shooting of murder suspect
Police identified [Tavon] Macklin as the suspect in the Jan. 17 shooting death of 29-year-old Justin White on South Keystone Avenue. Macklin is currently facing charges of murder, robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon in the death of White.
I wonder if there were "Justice for Justin" protests.
After Tavon Macklin did everything possible to get cops to shoot him, he was taken to a local hospital. Once the doctors were done with him, he was arrested.
The woman who was driving the vehicle that was transporting Macklin can be heard screaming in the video after cops shot him. What did she think was going to happen?
This is the video Body Cam: Officer Involved in Shootout With Murder Suspect, Indianapolis, Feb 23, 2021. It also includes some security camera footage.
