Obstruction of justice (???), simple battery of a police officer (I ran into a police officer while trying to flee).




Not that I'm in charge of hiring anything, but I'd consider "has fought a cop" as a strong positive signal for any sort of computer programming role.

You said you have a support system, can’t they help with the charges and getting you out of jail?

..flee from what? i feel like maybe that's the bigger picture

but yeah making a cop stub their toe is gonna make anyone have a bad time. im sorry the justice system is failing you.


My first instinct is to run from the cops no matter what just because I've been assaulted by them enough for one lifetime. One doesn't have to be breaking any law to end up targeted by some crazy cop, American police are like rabid animals.

agreed, and again sorry you're going through this

Thanks I'm not the original commenter though I was just providing my own color to the situation in that I personally don't care why someone is running, it's a reasonable reaction imo.
