From another article… shocker…

A Michigan State Police detective sergeant is facing charges that include second-degree murder in connection with the April 17 death of a 25-year-old Kentwood man who was crushed by a police SUV while running from authorities, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's office announced this week.
Detective Sgt. Brian Keely, 50, of Grand Rapids is charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, following the death of Samuel Sterling, who died after fleeing from troopers. A second degree murder conviction could lead to up to life in prison, the Detroit News reports.
The incident happened when the MSP Sixth District's Fugitive Task Force attempted to arrest Sterling, who ran away, according to press release from Nessel's office.
"A number of MSP troopers and other local law enforcement agents proceeded to chase Sterling, both in their vehicles and by foot, when the unmarked vehicle D/Sgt Keely was driving turned and struck Sterling in a nearby fast-food restaurant parking lot," Nessel's office said. "Sterling was transported to the University of Michigan Metro Health Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries later that day."

In Sterling's case, police say he fled from officers on foot on April 17 after they approached him at a Kentwood gas station — located just outside Grand Rapids — and attempted to take him into custody on multiple outstanding warrants.

You run, you take your chances

He was probably running to class so he wouldn’t be late for his exam he’d been studying for all night, when some cop showed up out of nowhere to run him down.

I can see a minor charge but definitely not murder charge

Will give Scruffy’s opinion after hearing what the warrants were for.

Took a few sites to find an answer, looks like probation related. Was on probation for felon with a weapon and a concealed weapons charge. Violations were marijuana and leaving the state related.

From an article immediately following the incident:
quote:
According to Michigan State Police, investigators were trying to arrest Sterling for several outstanding felony warrants.
Online records show Sterling had violated his probation. Court records obtained by FOX 17 show Sterling had a warrant out for violating his probation by having a large amount of marijuana and for leaving the state without permission.
Records show Sterling was on probation for carrying concealed, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and having a stolen debit card.

Damn he crushed him into the building. Straight brutal death.
Idk I'm not for criminals and getting off easy but he was on foot with multiple police vehicles on scene. Don't think he was getting away to be okay with that. Baw was amped up trying to make himself look good

I imagine he was trying to use his vehicle to block the dude in but misjudged. Definitely not a murder charge IMO, but I also didn’t think Chauvin should’ve been hit with a murder charge either.

I’ll say it.
If he had hit a white guy and killed him there would be no charges

Hit with a car and still resisting arrest. Must be in their DNA or something.

No riots though, as long as a democrat is in the white house.

It's midsummer election year, the Trump verdict is not having the desired effect. They may ramp up during the week

This is the spark that sets off the election year summer escapades.

Don’t run.
If you run, you might FAFO.

One less black thug on the streets. Drop the charges on the cop and give him a handsome reward.

I mean the Dems celebrated the cop that killed an unarmed Ashley Babbitt with no felony charges or warrants against her? And she wasn’t on probation or had no prior convictions. He was a hero to the left. So why are they upset here and charging this man with murder?
