Why would somebody choose to flee from a police officer during a routine traffic stop?
Because they don't want to go to jail.

So in a country where getting shot by murderous pig cops during routine traffic stops for not cooperating is common, that's an acceptable risk?

So there you go, Dubose put himself in this situation. if Dubose had been a law abiding citizen.... as in he hadn't had a history of traffic violations, had a front license plate, had his Drivers License, didn't have an open bottle of gin in the car I'd say its highly unlikely he would feel the need to flee. If he doesn't flee he'd have got a warning and would've been on his merry way to take care of his 10 kids. There were a lot of choices on Dubose part that put him in the situation where he got shot. The cop made bad choices too.
There's a difference between, "he made choices that put him in that position," and, "he deserves a share of the blame for what happened."

That seems insane.    In BL World you can commit crimes and, when the police attempt to detain you, you can just drive off without repercussions.

Are you CRAZY! Dubose did nothing wrong. He cooperated fully. All Dubose wanted to do was to go to the furniture store and buy some coffee tables. Then Tensing shot him. In theory, Tensing was saving the kids life. Tensing is a hero.

There's a difference between, "he made choices that put him in that position," and, "he deserves a share of the blame for what happened."
If "he made choices that put him in that (bad) position" THEN "he deserves a share of the blame for what happened". TWO people can be wrong. Dubose was wrong for resisting arrest and fleeing, whereas Tensing was wrong for shooting him BECAUSE he was resisting arrest and fleeing.
Nope.

Dubose was wrong for fleeing. Had he been arrested he would deserve the blame for the fact that he was in jail. But Tensing's actions were so out of line that there's no way someone could reasonably foresee the outcome.

mikeT nailed it when he said for every action there is a reaction.
and the one reaction is to kill.
