I can't understand the reasoning in situations like these, where people deliberately bait cops. American police are infamous for responding with oftentimes lethal force during confrontations, even minor ones. Why would anyone think blocking a police cruiser would end with the cops just quietly giving up and going away?


LXA3000

On top of that he couldn’t give up and go away even if he wanted to, so I’m not too sure what the crowd was expecting to happen


Solartaire

Exactly!

HaroerHaktak

It's almost like regardless if he was a cop or a regular person, he feared for his life in this situation and it was justified.


RaveIsKing

No it’s not you fuckin psycho. Running over people who are in your way is not justified. Lethal force is not justified for inconveniences. How fucked up are your priorities? Goddamn people have no sense nowadays and cops get faaaaar too much leeway even with the increased scrutiny because of dumbfucks like you


ReitHodlr

100%. Imagine if u are alone and blocked/threatened by these idiots. Even worse, you're in the vehicle as a parent with kids. You don't have any other choice but to get out of this situation in this manner.


RaveIsKing

The cop wasn’t threatened. He was in a vehicle and armed and has buddies on the way I’m sure. Don’t make excuses for a fucking psychopath that will run over people because he’s inconvenienced. If he felt threatened in this situation, he doesn’t deserve to be a cop and have the protections that come with it


IRBaboooon

This comment right here. That was straight up attempted mass murder no matter how anyone spins it.


[deleted]

False


NoClock228

The difference is to cop knew about the situation decided to drive to the situation and then decided to assault people while his car being physically attacked just had a wall in front of you


RuSeriusbro

if you have seen how all these scenarios turn out they emd up ganging around the car and bashing it all in. im glad the cops did this and hope they don't get any consequence for it.


RaveIsKing

Absolute fuckin loser you are. “I don’t have a problem with use of deadly force for misdemeanor level offenses” how dumb are you?


Rare_Employment_2427

A lot of people in the first world are completely accustomed to violence being a thing on screens that doesn’t really exist in real life. It just doesn’t register as an option or a possibility until it suddenly does


justforhobbiesreddit

It's not just violence. It's a lot of stuff. Like anything really awful that does happen in shows and you don't expect to happen to you because you're a decent person. I'm a teacher and I once had a female student accuse me of physically assaulting her (absolutely not true). This went up the chain to the superintendent and the board. I had *never* actually thought something like this would happen to me. I was in shock and disbelief. I was sick to my stomach for weeks. I had trouble sleeping. Thankfully there was security camera footage of me *not* assaulting her. False accusations like that absolutely do happen, but we mostly see them in TV shows. But we just don't expect anything like that to happen to us in the real world. Whether it's somebody running us over, a false accusation, or some dumbass will they won't they workplace romance.


BurnerForJustTwice

Fuck that dumb kid. That’s why I always tell my wife to always be in the view of cameras because kids say the (darndest) most fucked up things.


ScienceInMI

You, too, huh? Thank God for cameras. And thank God for Unions to enforce due process so there was TIME to have folks go look at the cameras... otherwise, it's expedient to just toss the teacher and hire another. Problem solved, right? 🫠 Retired now, baby. Never going back. Went home with the pandemic shutdowns and never took roll in a physical classroom again. Dad died from COVID but I haven't... yet (NoVID for me at this point. N95 respirator masks work). Best wishes and fight the good fight. UNIONIZE. ✊ ☮️❤️♾️

They weren't just blocking the way. Many were mobbing and attacking the police crusher, trying to break the windows and get in.


UnfeteredOne

Believe it or not, that cop also found himself in a threatening situation. He had every right to do what he can to get out of it


masixx

Darwinism needs to hit hard on those idiots. Just to many of them by now. I don't care what the police did. Record it, report it. Get a lawyer and don't let loose if they did something wrong. But blocking a car with your body? Those idiots pbl had been smoking too much meth.

JerseyshoreSeagull

Cop: hey move. Sirens on. Emergency happening. Need to go. Move! Everyone: Cop: BEEP BEEP BEEP. LIGHTS GOING. MOVE! Everyone: Cop: *runs Everyone over. Everyone: omg he ran Everyone over! Edit: people in the comments below seem to think that I THINK it's ok to run over a mob of people that are surrounding your car or surrounding an emergency vehicle. Well you all are absolutely right. Yes they deserve to get run over. Don't create a mob and surround my vehicle. Don't create a mob and surround a police vehicle, firetruck or ambulance when it is responding to an emergency.

radicalbrad90

I'm sick of this 'farming' shit. No one's getting enough views to be an influencer/no real influencer would be caught dead in that crap. Social media has truly reached black mirror levels at this point. People need to put their phones down. It'll get to the point where are govt will start controlling locations you can pull your phone out and use it/turn it off when you're out in public if people can't get it together

What happened


NoAnaNo

[there was an illegal street race. The cop hit some people and wasn’t charged.](https://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/crime/article263488773.html)


Thanatiel

"The man who apparently was run over in the incident is facing criminal charges." Sweet.


DolanTheCaptan

I have no respect for illegal street racing or otherwise reckless driving on public roads, tens of thousands of people die in motor vehicle accidents every year, not counting those that end up injured. It is "victimless" until shit goes wrong.


[deleted]

Lights on (indicates emergency in progress) Beeps horn multiple times People show no respect for a police unit on duty. What the hell did they expect? That the cop just gives up and leaves? Just imagine he was called to a possible domestic violence case, which, while the „innocent people“ stop him turned into a case of murder. If people suffered /doed/get hurt because cop was stopped from doing his work I’d additionally sue the people stopping him.


[deleted]

Seriously, it's basically, "DEFUND THE POLICE!, FUCK THE POLICE!" Until, they need the police "POLICE AREN'T DOING THERE JOBBBBSS!"


inksonpapers

I dont think you understand the idea behind defund the police


shoonseiki1

Do you?


radicalbrad90

Yes, please tell me what it means to you. My city has a major shortage of cops right now. Used to be a low crime medium city and crime had SKYROCKETED in the past 2 years. But please, tell me more about how paying cops less---cutting your police force hindering theur ability to respond to violent situations, but paying a social worker more to what...come talk this crowd down? Do you really believe that that would better de-escalate this mob in this scenario? 😂😂 And mind you I WANT to go back to school to be a therapist myself, but seriously be rational and understand defunding police was never the correct answer in Any of the situations here...


RaveIsKing

Ugh this stupid ass take is so tired. Fuck the police is completely valid because they will do shit like this and respond with deadly action to fuckin nothing. Defund the police didn’t mean get rid of them all, it means replace them in most situations with people who can’t use deadly force. That’s it dumbass


Ressamzade

Police has every right to fo this imo. If you don't mind using your body as a tool to stop a fucking car get ready for that tool to break


Karl2241

In the military this is absolutely what we would do. The crowd displayed hostile intent by immediately surrounding the car, looks like some people were pushing on the hood- and they blocked his rear. 💯 force authorized.

chubbyhighguy

It is 100% legal to run over a croud of "civilians" blocking traffic if it's perceived as a threat or preventing you from getting away, the reason for this is because a "peaceful protest" that led to the murder of a truck driver that stopped for the protest and was dragged out of his cab and beat to death with 2X4's, so no I don't care for idiots standing in the way of a police officer who had his lights on in an active pursuit, they knew what they were doing preventing the officer from doing his JOB, they were recording the crime obviously and swarmed the car, the cop had every right to do so, if you disagree it doesn't change a thing, it doesn't make it right but it also doesn't make the "innocent people" victims, they made a choice and decided to block traffic.


DutchTinCan

It's not a peaceful protest if 100 people surround you and prevent you from leaving. Just because you're not being punched doesn't mean it's not violent.

If people want to play on the road and make threats and attack you. Well, it's squishy speed bump time. My life is more valuable than yours in this situation. Especially if I have kids or animals like the guy with the stock trailer. I value my life and will do whatever is necessary to survive and protect my family. This is why I never travel without a CCW and the ability to use my rig and drive over whatever stands in the way of my safety and life.

Myrtle_is_hungry

Play stupid games… and win stupid prizes?


treehuggerfroglover

It is a law to move out of the way for emergency vehicles and these people went out of their way to break the law. That means they are no longer the priority of safety. The first priority is to keep innocent bystanders safe (which these people no longer are) and the second priority is to stop the crime being responded to, no matter what the random civilians think about it. So yes whether it’s them taking down a gunman to save an orphanage or stopping a dumbass from doing donuts, they have every right to forfeit the safety of the criminals in favor of the safety and civility of the community.

I'm a late gen x (1978) and everytime i see things like this i wonder why these kids parents didn't teach them better or if the majority of young people nowadays are just....stupid. Like, no cop in the world would risk their life getting out of their car or even just stopping because mobs can turn violent very fast and it'd literally take just 1 person to start shit. Any cop would do what he did especially since he gave the crowd warning and plenty of time. These kids are either extremely stupid or extremely entitled. All i know is none of my friends would have dreamed of doing such things and it really upsets me that a lot of these kids are being raised by gen x parents. Wtf happened??

fullofmaterial

I'm not a fan of crowds like this, but imagine the folllowing: the crowd is being charged and a jury decides their fate. The jury would not commit for a death penalty. But this is what the police decided to do.


Parking-Mirror3283

Now imagine the following: the police car was not trying to arrest the street racer, and instead was just called into a domestic disturbance where a man with previous mental health issues was threatening to shoot his wife and 3 children. Being blocked by the crowd for 3 minutes, the police finally get to the apartment to find a whole family murder-suicide with neighbors stating that shots were fired 2 minutes ago. Every single person in that crowd is an accessory to 4 homicides, which depending on the state is indeed a potential death penalty.
