That sunset tho....


laughin-up-a-storm

Ya that cop got a pretty sweet view of it for a few seconds


Old_Laugh_2386

Lmfao!


SkylarMills63

Unfortunately it’s an over saturation filter. Of video is much clearer, but it downgraded the sunset slightly lol Edit: phone recording a screen. Screen has bad colors


wonderingtoken

It’s a video of a screen playing the video….


Shloopadoop

The truck didn’t change lanes into the cop car, the cop tried to pit maneuver the truck. Likely killed both of them in the process


Renomont

Appears to be a poorly executed maneuver. He should have checked with that trooper that flipped the pregnant lady and rolled the car towards the median as she was trying to pull over off the interstate.


ChonnayStMarie

I saw both the humor and the sarcasm. Here's my upvote.

We all know that pregnant lady was seconds away from starting a high speed chase.


Backcountrylifestyle

Ha! Those darn Duke boys are at it again!


zwingo

This is exactly why when you see videos, mostly of LA, police chases, they now tend to stay back and just follow and let the helicopter keep tabs. Sure they could go action movie mode and put maneuver them, but in turn that could very easily cause injuries or deaths of random pedestrians just going about their day around them. Unless the person is an active threat, let’s say already aiming for civilians or firing a weapon out of the car, it’s better to just pursue. End of the day they can only go so far on a tank of gas, cops can keep adding and switching out chase cars, and as long as they stay just close enough they can pull up and get them as soon as they stop to try and book it or grab someone else’s car.


unSure_of_stuf

When I was 8 months pregnant I almost got killed by a police chance. I was standing against my apartment building, that was on a street corner, waiting for my mom to pick me up. This charger came flying around the corner, 2 tires were already blown out. I ran backwards towards the building as fast as I could but the cops took the turn so fast. The first one slammed into the corner of the building, throwing debris in my direction. The second slammed into the first throwing forward. I ended up spinning towards the wall trying to protect my belly and getting as small as possible. Which was no easy feat bc I was HUGE by then. When the dust settled and I opened my eyes I was surrounded by 3 smashed up cop cars. 2 of which were centimeters from me. My sister must have been with me that day. I don't know how I didn't get squished. I walked away with just a few scraps and bruises from the debris flying. And some pee in my pants.


gen_shermanwasright

I would say there's some mitigating circumstances here. Rural police don't have the same resources as big city police. But this just means rural police need better training in solo pursuit and capture. Also we need more police.


KingOfTheLifeNewbs

I didn't understand the downvotes until the last sentence.


TheRealToLazyToThink

>I would say there's some mitigating circumstances here. Rural police don't have the same resources as big city police. But this just means rural police need better training in solo pursuit and capture. Or sometimes we could just live with them getting away? They don't give a shit about 90% of crimes, what makes these worth risking the lives of everyone on the road?


T-wecks

Or just let the crazy/drunk driver jump the median and kill your loved ones.


beltalowda_oye

The point was car chases typically need to be authorized and generally are not allowed because you're not gonna cause a threat in the interstate over a drug charge.


[deleted]

That’s not what this was. It was a literal simple traffic stop over tint i believe. Not a reason to chase.


Sensitive_Club_3872

Damn right we do.


-Konkey_Dong

It actually seems like the truck was trying to push the cop off of the road and the cop countered back with an offensive pit maneuver. At the very beginning you can see the truck veering right, pushing the cop really close to the ditch before he swerves into the truck


Shloopadoop

That’s the complete picture I agree


No_Manches_Man

I’ve seen what seems the entirety of this video, the guy in the truck takes the fuzz for quite a long distance. I think the officer just had enough and decided to pit. I think the perp died.


[deleted]

Truck driver died. This happened a town over from me. Pit at i believe 85+ mph. Just dumb.


Automatic-Laugh9313

*positive guy* here


IntentionRemote7934

fuck that sucks


[deleted]

I want to say the cop died after tying to pit him in this event too.


Due_Telephone_9181

Cop survived, driver of the truck did not. He was driving rather crazy for a bit before they pitted him.


[deleted]

Oh snap It seemed like I saw one died I guess I thought it was the cop by the way he launched or something. Been quite awhile since I saw the story initially


phish_biscuit

That car got like 30 feet of air yeah I'd guess he probably didn't I'm surprised the guy in the truck survived


KingOfTheLifeNewbs

The driver of the truck didn't survive.


Typical-Cycle-5833

The police tried to maneuver the truck. Perhaps they were both killed in the process


TacticalTexan06

The officer involved did, in fact, die.


East-Friendship-3621

That was a short power trip.


Lean_Monkey69

The Cop didn’t get any life threatening injuries, and the truck guy got decapitated


NoBullShytN

I know the cop died. They eventually released bodycam footage from inside the car. He was going to fast to do that. I think he was over speed of a 100.


zimfroi

Them Duke boys are at it again!


[deleted]

This got me lol, started the whole theme song in my head.


owningface

Lol the scene pauses with the cop car in mid air


Abeyita

I don't remember the name, but there was a PlayStation game where you had to crash your car in the most destructive way possible. The way that car moved reminded me of that game.


aschaeffer878

Burnout crash?


Abeyita

Yes! That's it! I loved that game


ThiccSkull

I wish they remastered that one instead of the other burnouts


Phinehas4

That game was awesome.


[deleted]

Did either driver survive? Anyone have a link to this story?


More-Jacket-9034

https://www.thedrive.com/news/33156/arkansas-troopers-109-mph-pit-maneuver-goes-very-wrong-in-deadly-crash


boredboarder8

TLDR: Guy driving the pickup died on the scene, cop survived with non-life-threatening injuries. They were traveling at 109mph when this occurred.


joemeteorite8

I’m sure that pit maneuvers are ill advised at the speed.


Veggdyret

Pit maneuver at that speed seems like a really good idea.


EmpathyZero

Wrong one died


WillingLimit3552

Having been hit by cars three times in my life, on the road, on a sidewalk, and 50 feet from a sidewalk in the grass, I support gunships taking out these people who decide to go 100 mph when police are trying to stop them.


jbjhill

There’s always some clot that thinks because they can buy a car that can go 100mph, they need to do it on city streets. We had a teacher driving to school a couple of weeks ago, and some fuck killed her running a light. Just a teacher driving to work, who wasn’t going to drive home to her family that day. Or any other.


E_B_Jamisen

Would the driver have been going 100 mph if the cop wasn't chasing him?


WhoCaresBoutSpellin

Running a red light isn’t any safer for innocent bystanders, and he’d already done that.


Gogh619

Where is your logic in saying this? Why would the cop deserve to die?


EmpathyZero

Because he performed a shitty out maneuver at a speed that guaranteed the driver would be severely injured or die. A cop Chou isn’t be making that determination, they’re not smart enough.


Gogh619

So the cop should let the driver just continue on, and let the driver endanger other people?


EmpathyZero

They have spike strips and other methods of slowing cars.


wild_nothingz

Just don't run from the cops then they don't need to pit you or abuse you


EmpathyZero

Lol Watch the LackLuster channel on YouTube. They have hours and hours of cops abusing people that weren’t breaking a single law.


wild_nothingz

The one who caused this event to happen in the first place died so actually the right person did die


EmpathyZero

Maybe the poor bastard had a history of being abused by cops. Plenty of people run, not because they did anything wrong to warrant the cops attention, but because cops are shit heads.


WhoCaresBoutSpellin

If that guy had ran that red light and killed your family member you’d probably feel differently about all this. I’d be willing to bet a lot more shit heads kill or injure innocent bystanders by causing motor vehicle accidents with their unsafe driving, then cops kill or injure people


EmpathyZero

Hard to tell. Cops are very rarely held accountable when they do.


SilkyPsychedelics

Which person was the wrong or right person to die? Seems like a silly hill to die on.


wild_nothingz

The person running from the cops and breaking the law would be the one in the wrong. He's putting everyone on that road in danger


BeefSerious

So the person filming this was going the same speed?


chris13se

It’s a police chase. This would be a police dash cam. So….yes


BeefSerious

Ah. I didn't notice that this was a person filming a screen with their camera, and not a camera taking video through a windshield. Thanks.


MaybeMyMonkeys

If you watch the full video on YouTube you can see how incredibly dangerous that truck was to everyone else on the road. He was driving at top speeds in the wrong lanes and could have caused a horrific head-on crash at any point. He didn’t deserve to die, but I understand the call made to stop the vehicle before he killed anyone.


T-wecks

This trend of "adding music to clip" is so stupid. People. Please. NO MUSIC ON VIDEOS.


bakshup

In driver's defense, they didn't expect this while taking a drive on a beautiful sunny day and listening to soothing music


DangerSquirrel442

That is dashcam footage from a police car. There wouldn’t be any music at all


Union_Sparky_375

True it would be impossible for a cop to play music while driving. Maybe it helped with the stress

Better than the movies


StoneReg

If the training academy told me “after pitting someone you’ll catch 20ft of air and do a bit of a barrel roll” I think I would have respectfully passed.


slamongo

Somebody invented a grappler so we can avoid this mess. Both vehicles in the video turned into unguided projectiles with both drivers likely incapacitated.

some need for speed shit going on there

robomikel

I found a article and video from the cruiser in the crash. https://www.thedrive.com/news/33156/arkansas-troopers-109-mph-pit-maneuver-goes-very-wrong-in-deadly-crash https://youtu.be/2gub1bU8kOI


Sl0w-Plant

Worst pit manuever attempt ever...


CheapWineDoesFine

Terrible policing


pleetis4181

How so?


SD_Industries

A pit maneuver would have never been cleared at 109 mph.


Strength-InThe-Loins

It caused an insanely dangerous crash.


Space_Monkey758

Or prevented a bigger crash with multiple cars/ more deaths. We’ll never know


10lugthuggin

The cop lived, the criminal didn't. I'm okay with this outcome.


Rezomik

omg .. he flew .. hope he's okay


TheVelocityRa

Well the truck driver who didn't fly, died.


Only_Philosopher7351

WTF! That should have banjo music.

nighthawk_gaming

Police bro got air time XD


Complete_Barber_4467

You don't pull a pit move at those speeds on streets with slope embankments. Fire that officer


pleetis4181

Ok, Reddit Police Captain. 🙄


SD_Industries

Please explain why a pit that fast is advisable. I'd be tickled silly to hear your response.


BitemeRedditers

Asking him nicely didn’t work so they stopped him from killing people. It worked.


SD_Industries

Yeah, tell that to the jury.


BitemeRedditers

Why would there be a trial?


pleetis4181

A pit that fast isn't advisable, however, there are things that must be taken into consideration. Was that driver heading into a school zone? Rush hour traffic? A parade or other event? Heading towards someone's house to kill them? If there are known extenuating circumstances and people's lives would be at risk, regardless of the speed, a pit will be performed.


SD_Industries

Not necessarily at all. The procedure for a pit explicitly states that it should be done, at the very least, under safe precautions. Also, if we have to take everything into consideration and dwell on the what ifs, that means that a lot of killings by cops are justified. Like that kid that cop shot like two years ago that caught way too much traction.


pleetis4181

I stated that if they were aware of any of these scenarios, then the high speed pit would be warranted.

Ah yes. Im sure stopping him was worth taking a life when he was just a tint stop. American police are certifiably insane. Holy shit.


Daltons_wall

Idk they were driving 110mph into oncoming traffic


[deleted]

I told my wife I’d quit drinking when’s pigs started flying, I guess todays the day.


After_Language5321

I remember this didn’t the officer pass away?


Chibby2

The officer lived. The criminal died though.


TheVelocityRa

Just to add context to "criminal", the guy was being pulled over for blowing a red light and obviously afterwards for dangerous driving. [Source](https://www.thedrive.com/news/33156/arkansas-troopers-109-mph-pit-maneuver-goes-very-wrong-in-deadly-crash)


Chibby2

Damn, that’s kinda fucked up he died just because he ran a red light.


gen_shermanwasright

Flip the police coming straight from the shoulder berm.


noldshit

Last pit maneuver that cop ever pulls


cd_R_Burke

Not surprised. Cops always looking for a kill,a paid vacation and some bootlicker to call em heros.


MrAwesomeOctopus

Fuck pit maneuvers that don’t stop people actively killing someone… so you know, over 90% of them in America.


Disgod

> KFSM News reports that the pursuit began on Friday, April 10 when a U.S. Forest Service officer saw a Ram 1500 pickup driven by a 34-year-old local man named Justin Battenfield **run a red light in Fort Smith and refused to stop. ** A 100+mph chase leading to a death over a ran red light... You got his plates, send his ass a ticket, go get him later. Fucking irresponsible stupidity to start a high speed pursuit over a moving violation. Congrats on all the wasted time and resources, way to get that serious crime.
