Running from police is generally a bad idea. I'd be all over them if he were one of those "just standing in his doorway" victims, but I've yet to hear an account that didn't describe the guy as going on an extended fleeing spree. Unfortunate he chose to flee, it's tragic he was killed, but not surprising given timing vs. the bombings.
Edit: One of my favorite albums of all time though. Still have the vinyl. RIP Joe.
