How difficult can this possibly be to create?

 FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (DC News Now) — It’s been more than two years since independent researchers from the University of Texas at San Antonio suggested to Fairfax County’s Police Department (FCPD) that it consider adding a foot pursuit policy to the lengthy list of rules and guidelines that govern its officers.

While it has yet to be added, a recent police shooting is fueling a push to implement the change.

Back in February, two FCPD officers chased 37-year-old Timothy Johnson out of Tysons Corner Center and into a wooded area beyond the parking lot. They then shot and killed him.

A special grand jury has indicted former Fairfax County Police officer Wesley Shifflett for fatally shooting 37-year-old Timothy McCree Johnson outside the Tysons Corner Center mall. The charge against him is involuntary manslaughter and reckless discharge of a weapon,.

On Feb. 22, 2023 Shifflett and another cop, James Sadler, chased Johnson into a wooded area outside the mall after receiving a call that Johnson had allegedly stolen a pair of sunglasses. Johnson was unarmed

Police in March released Shifflett’s body-worn camera footage showing Shifflett running through a retail store inside the mall and eventually following Johnson outside through a parking garage and onto a dark street.

Johnson, who is Black, was struck once in the chest and later died.

Shifflett was fired in March as the department’s Major Crimes Bureau investigated the killing and presented evidence to Descano. Sadler, the other officer in the chase, was placed on “modified restricted duty assignment,” meaning he was not permitted to interact with the public.
