Waco, TX – Running from the police seems to a very controversial subject in the media today, with a prevailing attitude that it is somehow wrong or "stupid" to run from the police. However, running from a hostile force that is likely to use violence against you is one of the most basic and instinctual things that a person can do. This is especially true for people with prior records or people who dress differently because they are automatically profiled by police and treated as if they were criminals from the very start of the encounter.

Last week, a man in Texas who was traveling with a small amount of marijuana decided that he was not going to pull over to be harassed by police when he saw their lights in his rear-view mirror. He ran instead, just as any sane person would do when they encountered a kidnapper or a thief.

His decision resulted in a high-speed chase which exceeded speeds of 100 miles per hour and spanned across five counties.

The driver, Jonathan Davis, was eventually stopped by police after roughly an hour when they blew out his tire with spike strips and then shot at his tires with live ammunition.

After Davis was apprehended, he gave a very entertaining interview with news crews and was unapologetic about his encounter.

When asked why he ran from police, Davis said that he was tired of getting arrested for marijuana and that he knew he would be profiled when the police saw that he had prior arrests for marijuana.
