In the state of Michigan, the driver of a motor-vehicle has no obligation to stop for anyone unless the vehicle doing the stopping is clearly marked as being operated by a law enforcement agency. That being said, if some creep followed me home at 3:00AM then proceeded to brandish a firearm at my doorstep, I'd run his ass down as well. Hell, the officer was lucky he didn't get shot himself. I suspect this is the case of an off-duty Rambo attempting to make a stop where he had no business doing so. He should have contacted the appropriate, local, law enforcement agency and followed at a safe distance until a lawful traffic-stop was made. At that point he could have assisted the officer making the stop by providing his eyewitness testimony.
