Les, you also need to understand that in many cases where a police officer is about to question/potentially arrest someone, for doing something that they were already guilty of in the past (the person realizes he is about to do serious time...strike 3 type of stuff even), that person will have more of a reason in their mind that they need to flee or attack the cop because they know they are screwed.

If you are talking about my "stance" on why they jumped on him and it took several of them, its because they are trying to minimize the damage that THEY are going to take from someone so large and belligerent.
