Why would he be fleeing from the police, when the police werent chasing him? That makes zero sense!
One of the videos shown immediately after the incident showed the police chasing the red SUV. That's why everyone in social media thought Brooks was chased...because that's what our eyes told us.
If I find the clip, I'll post it.

The DA's office in Milwaukee is trying to save face from letting him go for $1k a few days ago....
I wouldn't see him making BAIL anytime soon....

No way you should make that your priority in a situation such as this one.
The Waukesha police have issued a statement that confirms no one was chasing Brooks.
What we know so far indicates that Brooks entered the parade route while driving at high speed. At some point, he decided to plow through a march unit. He then broke through a crowd control barrier, and a police officer fired several shots at his car. His social media account indicates he professes to be a BlackLivesMatter supporter, and he has a dislike of white people. As to the degree to which that social media persona is real or fake, your guess is as good as mine. We can also conclusively rule out the stupid story flacked by Cupp that he was fleeing some other crime and that said flight had anything to do with him killing people in a parade.

Once again, I never said anything about a police pursuit. He was however fleeting the scene of another crime.

The way I interpret it is that the Police are saying that this was not a terrorist attack because he did not plan it out ahead of time, but they're not saying that it was any sort of mistake. It was still completely intentional. He just didn't wake up that morning knowing that he was going to do it.

Fleeing the scene of a crime is a common phrase that rarely implies a police chase.

Ironic that you mention this when 7 out of the 10 states in the top 10 in crimes are Republican controlled states with some of the harshest criminal laws.
