Drunk White Man Leads Florida Police on High Speed Chase, Starts Fight and Lives to Talk About It



http://atlantablackstar.com/2016/08/26/drunk-white-man-leads-florida-police-on-high-speed-chase-starts-fight-and-lives-to-talk-about-it/

A white DUI suspect led Indian River County, Florida police on a high speed chase and then fought arresting officers on Aug. 25.

According to CBS 12, the suspect identified as 25-year-old Robert Rogers III ran a red light at 110 mph.

Investigators told reporters that Rogers drove into an active construction area as deputies followed suit.
In the footage below, the DUI suspect stops his vehicle alongside a highway and runs toward police.

“He gets out in an excited state with his hands in his pockets, ” Sheriff Deryl Loar told CBS 12. “He pulls out his hands and his fists like he’s shooting a gun. Deputies showed enormous restraint by not taking deadly force in this particular case.”

That it isn't part of the same problem?

Why would anyone wishing to make a point about police out-of-control ignore (pretend they do not happen) 2/3 of the examples?
