What is the context? Because if an officer tells you yo exit, you must. It sounds like this dude didn't slow down or acknowledge the officers at all before proceding from the blues to a lit area as they hit him with evasion. No idea though, we'll find out details when they pull the "white supremisist racist biggot" move and in the court case it comes out the dude sped off at like 60-70 in a 30 to get to the well lit area... "but I figured I should get to a place to be pulled over as fast as possible" - something my dumb ass friend did and got guns drawn and they tazed him...
Because if someone drives off from where you pop your blues it immediately escalates it to a high threat stop. I've had guns pulled on me before and I'm white. And with all the anti cop bullshit I would have my gun ready too.

Police should aim to de-escalate situations.
They're mostly drama queens, so can't .
