33. Not entirely accurate.

The car he was driving was not his, it was registered to his brother. He had no license or proof of insurance card on him, so they may not have known where he lived. That'd depend entirely on whether any information in public records was accurate and up-to-date. He had a warrant, which is why they wanted him out of the vehicle. They didn't force him out, either. One of the officers opened the door, and Wright stepped out.

More to the point, he was being cuffed when he began to resist (escalation), then broke free and tried to get back into the car (escalation and attempt to flee). How do you suppose things might have played out differently had he not done that? You're presenting this as if the cops immediately went to physical force and escalated the situation, which isn't accurate.

Simply letting someone with a warrant drive away is just not how cops do things, and I doubt it will ever be how cops do things. If you have a warrant and cops make contact with you and find out, they're going to arrest you. That's how it works.
