I'm not one to randomly defend cops but this guy did everything you shouldn't do.
Ran a stop sign, sped, failed to pull over, fled into a dwelling, resisted detainment and fled yet again.
It's hard to prove "driving while black" when those facts cloud the issue.

DHS could save a lot of time and ink by simply saying "White and straight = safe. Everyone else go fuck yourself."

Resisting arrest often leads to what can be considered violence. Someone that refuses to comply, runs into a dwelling multiple times. What are the police to do? Let him go get his gun and load it? That's not an extreme example. It actually happens.
If the guy wants to file a civil suit for the injuries, more power to him. But this was about indicting the cops on criminal charges and I just don't see it.
The whole system needs reformation, but you aren't going to reform the system mid-evasion of arrest.
