Why did Walter Scott run away from police ?
Alen j Salerian MD
The images of Mr. Walter Scott,
Charleston South Carolina running away from a policeman and getting shot
multiple times have been national news.
To ask why he ran away maybe as important as the question about why the
policeman killed him.
The two main categories of questions to be pursued
are : Was he guilty of a crime or a wrongdoing? Was he innocent and fear or emotion
driven because of psychological issues?
Suppose he was guilty of a crime such
as possessing a gun or illegal substances in his car. He ran to dissociate
himself from crime scene evidence.
Or suppose he was unnerved
temporarily acting irrationally because of psychiatric dysfunction. Many people
phobic of police authority or interrogation may react irrationally under
duress. Perhaps he was depressed and suicidal and wanted to get killed, a
common dynamic for some victims of suicide who set themselves up to get killed.
All of these examples have multiple sub groups and complex answers.
These questions should not be confused with the behavior of the policeman. As
an officer he is trained to be rational with irrational and unruly people .
Our
current dilemma is the psychological mind set and reason have not been incorporated into the culture
of law enforcement . Eye for an eye, shoot first ask questions later seems to
be the predominant culture of ourlaw enforcement now becoming exposed
thanks to Apple iPhone technology.
That's the good news.
