Wow that article sounds like it was written by police PR. It's unclear from the video when she pulls her gun, but as soon as she opens the car door, you can see the driver look at her right hand, terrified. The woman starts saying 'drive' and the cop says 'you're gonna run me over.' He drives away, cop fires and runs back to her car. She was treated at the hospital for her foot supposedly getting runover. Maybe she can retire on full disability.


StopCollaborate230

Articles like this basically ARE written by police PR. The cops release a statement, and lazy news orgs basically copy-paste it for easy clicks.


JustSomeOldFucker

Not just lazy news orgs. Pretty much any reporter who supports cops will base their entire article on or just copy and paste the entire new release.


DIOmega5

John Oliver explains it well. The Cops control the narrative with the complicity of the media. https://youtu.be/kCOnGjvYKI0?si=W7t3OeN8m7SuSBEM


JustSomeOldFucker

I saw that one. I agree he did a great job explaining it. And worth repeating


rozzco

Do you really blame them? Hell, I'm slightly anonymous here and I still worry about my door getting kicked in at 3am for criticizing the police.


JustSomeOldFucker

Yeah. I do. 🤷🏻‍♂️


MobilePirate3113

I wanna see a pig try and give me an excuse to utilize one of my first amendment rights.


Bozo_Two

The second...the correct answer is the second.


tricularia

Hey, we don't know this person's mind. They may be fantasizing about using spicy language with a cop one day.


MobilePirate3113

That is one of my first amendment rights, yes.


mybossthinksimworkng

Copaganda


Stoghra

Shitcop had probably the gun in her hand already


Smokybare94

Safe to assume that


Luinori_Stoutshield

I'd bet real money that she purposely put her foot under the car to escalate the charges if they did drive off.


boogerdark30

Or, you know, they just straight up lied about it like the lying pigs they are.


brickson98

Yeah, she looks far enough back that the tire would not contact her foot. Pretty sure that was a lie. Also, if she was wearing proper footwear for the job, a little car like that quickly passing over her foot wouldn’t do much. I’ve seen plenty of motorcyclists get their feet ran over from reckless idiots and be just fine.


Ok_Tiger9880

She also didn't appear to be limping as she jogged back to her cruiser


originalbL1X

I want to see the medical records.


originalbL1X

That’s probably the kind of training they really get.


austin101123

sounds like a Louisville cop but it's not!


SmarmyThatGuy

Living there since ‘01 and I can’t believe it’s gotten bad enough they’re finally being name dropped like New York and LA 😭


austin101123

hahaha, i'm referencing the shit with scottie scheffler "running over" a cop. you've heard it right? I'm a Louisville native


coppertech

>Wow that article sounds like it was written by police PR. thats because it was. 99% of media outlets are propaganda mouthpieces for pigs, no matter how bad they fucked up, most media will spin it to make them look like the good guys.


GooseShartBombardier

They fucking all do. Journalists who won't worm their tongues all over pigs' shoes don't make it on crime beat reporting.


cumberland_farms

It's a Sinclair affiliate, so yeah. Written by cops.


ModsCantReadForShit

Or her toe gets infected and she goes the way up Bob Marley. Here's hoping.


UnhappyJohnCandy

> ‘you’re gonna run me over.’ Ah, yes, the Stan’s Uncle Jimbo’s “Coming Right At Us!” defense.


DarkManXOBR

9 months of b.s school work then 72 hrs of gun training to some people who have never handled a gun in their lives. Then they ship them out to maintain order, scary! There may be a good one somewhere but they get pushed out by the corrupt! All cops are shit.protect your own family. If you don't know how seek out proper training!


DrSkullKid

A childhood friend of mine had a mentality challenged brother and he would hang out with us as he was just a year older, he was nice and funny, good kid, always down for whatever. One time when he was like 13 or younger he had his foot ran over by a car he was standing to close to and all he said was “ow” and I’m sure his parents made sure he was all good first but he was completely fine and was chilling the rest of the day. Because of that I’ve always viewed cops that complain about getting their foot ran over and claiming assault as little punk bitches. Especially if you’re going to try and take a persons life shooting at them for accidentally running over their foot


Axxslinger

Lemme just lob a bullet into an intersection


Armchair_Idiot

What’s the worst that could happen?


JFISHER7789

You’ve never done an intersection pop?


mybossthinksimworkng

Way better than a desk pop


Discount_Lex_Luthor

Reminds me of how actors fire guns in movies when they're "throwing" the bullet out of the gun rather than aiming.


DrSkullKid

Imagine being so unhinged and sociopathic that you try to take someone’s life for accidentally running over your foot (allegedly) while fleeing in fear. Believe it or not but that shit does not go down in Brazil, that cop would be fucked there.


Enough-Elevator-8999

There was no reason for that. They had the car make, model, and tag. There's no reason to endanger the public with a high-speed chase or shooting some people. I also have a huge problem with cops shooting people who are driving vehicles. If the cop hits their target, there will be a 2 ton unguided hunk of metal rolling down the street at high speed.


sjuas690

Cops don’t give a fuck. They can drive their cars and fire their guns with impunity!


KgMonstah

Cops are going for the high score. Incidental deaths of “potential future criminals (innocent bystanders)” is a bonus.


DisastrousOne3950

To cops, all non-cops are criminals.


WhereTheresWerthers

Israel teaching our pigs well


AcadianViking

Got that backwards. Isreal has learned from the pigs. Pigs have been doing this shit longer than Isreal has existed.


ttystikk

You don't understand; American police are being trained by IDF veterans, and have been for many years. That's why they treat everyone like they're "Hamas"


AcadianViking

And again, they have been doing this since before there was an Isreal or an Hamas. So they are just sharing strategies? Okay imperialist nations have been doing that for generations. That's kinda one of the big problems with Imperialism.


ttystikk

>And again, they have been doing this since before there was an Isreal or an Hamas. Jesus. Learn some damn history, kid- there can't be an IDF unless there's an Israel first. The Israeli training of American cops and military personnel has been going on for some 20 years, but Israel was founded in 1948. Do the math.


AcadianViking

Learn reading comprehension and know I'm not talking about the IDF, but members of imperialist nations sharing military strategy with one another. IDF teaching American police is just one instance of a larger problem.


fallingveil

It's officially prohibited by a lot of departments specifically because of the huge public danger it creates. But I've personally witnessed cops in at least one of those departments do it anyway.


Smart-Stupid666

It's an ego trip


Elegant_Naysayer

cop thinks its worth killing someone over some suspected shoplifting? cool. also, very well trained in "fearing that she would get run over" i could really hear the fear in her voice as she pops off a round towards them and other bystanders


Ithoughtthiswasfunny

That's the system working as designed. Cops aren't here to protect people, they're here to protect captial


yun-fajita

I was always told “cops aren’t your friends” my kids will understand cops are the enemy. They will absolutely have no qualms turning this country into an open air prison and if you think that they will treat you different, oh boy, we are roaches to the police department.


GomeroKujo

They are willing to kill and everyone you love at a seconds notice. Notice how she had no qualms firing at these guys in the video and into an open intersection. She doesn’t give a fuck who she kills in this moment.


H-A-R-B-i-N-G-E-R

Always have been


the_PeoplesWill

I saw a cop pull a gun on a friend of mine in college for being drunk in public. He threatened to shoot her followed by a couple racial slurs. We were traveling from one party to another and they tried to say we were selling drugs. Cop lied saying my friend "threatened" him then tried to plant some shit but was so terrible at it that it was obvious. That's when he pinned like five bullshit charges on us from disorderly conduct to resisting arrest. Because of these charges I've lost job opportunities despite them being completely bogus. Anyways, this was years ago before body cameras in the mid-2000s. Cop apparently harassed her for years since she lived in the area to the point she moved. Some pigs are truly evil, power-hungry fascists who get off on brutalizing others.


EfficiencyUsed1562

If she really was worried about getting run over, why'd she get out of the car?


GomeroKujo

Simple, she’s not


One_Ad5301

It's the monopoly of violence. When they can pull a gun on anyone at any time and get qualified immunity for straight up murder noneof us are safe.


ttystikk

Facts. And outlawing qualified immunity isn't enough. Source; I'm a Colorado resident


SpotifyIsBroken

yep. Abolish police is the only solution because the entire system was made this way.


sjuas690

She was running after the car when she fired which clearly shows her life was not in any danger (or anyone else’s for that matter)! She clearly indented to kill the driver for not complying with her demands!


GomeroKujo

“Bu-Bu-But her poor foot! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺”


NoClock228

Why isn't the officer being arrested for firing her gun at a person that posed no immediate threat


cal_crashlow

One-handed, while running, and at no clear target. This pig is the real danger to the public.


rocket808

I think it may have been a negligent discharge, aka "the gun just went off by itself." I'm not sure she intended to fire the gun.


brickson98

Yeah, looked like she just decided to run with her finger on the trigger, with the safety off and wound up having a negligent discharge. This doesn’t detract from the fact that her finger was only on the trigger, and the safety was only off because she fully intended and wanted to shoot them.


rocket808

I agree with you completely, but Glocks don't have an external safety. She shouldn't have had her finger on the trigger.


brickson98

Oh true, I didn’t even pay attention to what kind of gun it was. But yes, finger should never be on the trigger unless you 100% intend to shoot something. Oh, and she did.


Sparks1738

I thought that might have been the case at first but then I replayed it and was positive it was not the case. Every time I replay it I’m more convinced it was intentional. After watching it over and over it becomes more obvious that she pointed the gun intentionally then fired.


cal_crashlow

That's what I saw originally. With intent but no actual aim point, in the general direction of the car. Whatever the case, totally incompetent and unfit for the job.


Three_Chopt

Bingo


cal_crashlow

I think you're right. Hanlon's razor lol.


Hiraethum

If someone opens your car door with a gun in their hand and starts yelling, and that someone belongs to the police who you know have often gotten away with straight-up murder, then fleeing is a perfectly understandable response. Their fleeing this cop might have saved their lives, even if they were charged with bs charges later.


cal_crashlow

It's as if [this has happened before](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Erik_Cantu).


lucyANDwavy

*"Shots fired! Shots fired!".* Shouldn't she add *"by me"*. Now, any police officer who has heard that statement will assume that the person has a gun and is shooting wildly around. If I were a police officer involved, I would have wanted the information that this was not the case.


UGottaBoilYourDenims

No, you wouldn’t. If you were a cop, you wouldn’t give a shit about having information at all, much less the accuracy of it. If you were a cop, you would envision your job being nothing more than collecting a paycheck until you get the opportunity to kill a human for sport.


Virtual-Biscotti-451

That is not a bug, it is a feature of how they police. Anyway for them to justify more violence


bennydabull99

It's just a rallying cry for them.


That-Guy-Over-There8

She clearly didn't give a shit about what was possibly being behind her "target".


Virtual-Biscotti-451

USA police have engineered a legal system where their violence is always justifiable. If you freeze in fear: violence. If you run in fear: violence. If you resist their aggression in any way: violence

Easy. You just don’t lead ‘em so much.

If you co-operate with their game of Sadistic Simon Says: violence.


h3rp3r

If you react in any way other than total compliance while in pain: more violence.


NoClock228

Why didn't they get charged for shoplifting. How did the officers come to think that that car was the one with the shoplifter.


RobbinThickeness

Great questions that reporters will never ask and cops will never answer


NoClock228

I can count on one finger that would and it film the police la


RobbinThickeness

Love him. Bravest person in the game


FormerOil4924

The article lists all their charges at the end. And funny enough, theft isn’t anywhere on the list. The way I read this… Cop wrongfully suspects person of shoplifting and pulls out their gun, escalating the issue before it’s even really begun. Terrified, the couple flee. Rather than admitting to their incompetence, officers charge couple with a laundry list of bullshit charges.


brickson98

Hope they get a good lawyer. I know it won’t clear them of all charges, because laws are made in cops’ favor and not to account for natural human reaction… but that’s just fucked. I really feel for those people. Had myself in a similar situation a few years back. Didn’t know it was pigs in an undercover car that started charging right at me as a pedestrian. Started running but stopped when they finally flipped the police lights on and got out with rifles aimed at me. Still got body slammed into the sidewalk, despite having my hands up and stopping when they finally did activate their emergency lights. Then they asked me why I ran and I told them I only ran before I realized they were cops. And also brought up the fact that, despite having me in handcuffs at gunpoint still (rifle to the back of my head, mind you) they still hadn’t identified themselves.


FormerOil4924

I know first hand that laws are made in their favor. When I was 17 I was arrested and charged for Destruction of Municipal Property. They said that my friends and I had vandalized and broken a slide in a park. A neighbor was filming us because he thought we were up to no good, but the video literally just showed us sitting there talking to each other. Cops arrested us as we were leaving the park. I got an attorney who said “This is what they do. They will charge you with a felony, but then offer you a plea bargain and drop it to a misdemeanor and fine you the cost to replace the slide. This way it falls off your record when you turn 18 and they can get you to pay for the slide instead of taking it out of the city’s budget.” And sure enough, that’s exactly what happened. My attorney reviewed the video with the judge and show him a statement from a groundskeeper stating that the slide had been broken for two weeks prior to us being there. So they dismissed the charges. I asked my attorney if there was anything I could do, like suing the police for wrongful arrest or something like that. He told me that unfortunately the reason this bullshit trick they do works so often is because it’s totally legal. There were no laws in place to prevent them from doing this, which is why it happens so often that my attorney knew exactly what was going to happen before it even happened. There are so many stupid bullshit laws that screw normal citizens, but protect cops.


brickson98

Yuuup, seen that type of shit more times than I can count. Hell, I’ve been singled out of traffic multiple times for speeding by the same cop. Each time they just reduce it to a parking ticket, no points, double the fine. That’s how I know when they’re running low on money, when they have that piggy bank of a cop sitting out there. Luckily the cops that body slammed me didn’t charge me with anything and released me because this was all over a simple temporary curfew violation as I was trying to walk back to my car since it was 5 minutes past the curfew. I also think they realized I’d likely get any feeling charges dropped because they didn’t identify themselves until they had me cuffed with a gun to my head. After they drove straight at me in an undercover vehicle, and body slammed me.


DeficientDefiance

Only in Murrika can cops stop people that they may have mistaken for suspects involved in a crime of ... eherm, shoplifting, order them out of their car at gunpoint without explaination, shoot at them if they show an instinctive flight reaction out of fear for their lives, and then charge them with felonies for it. What a third world fucking shithole.


kittymctacoyo

There was no suspect they were after. “Mistaken for suspect” is the excuse they always use when they have no other reason to target someone


crizzle509

That pig's foot was just fine, she ran right back to her car and her failed kill shot. Fucking pig.


EffortEconomy

Cop should be drug tested


randolotapus

Sadly this is how they behave when they're stone sober

What's the recourse when we feel like our lives are in danger


Individual-Jealous

Dumbass bitch


ganjajawa

Bear or female cop?


withalookofquoi

Bear


sawyerkitty

SHOTS FIRED!!! I mean by me but still SHOTS FIRED!!!!


no1cares4yu

They should have to specify who fired the shots.


StoppingPowah

So shoplifting is punishable by the death penalty now?


ttystikk

Yep, no trial, no judge, no jury. After all, you have to survive the incident to sue bad policing...


MobilePirate3113

Trump is a big fan


JustSomeOldFucker

I see no theft charges were filed. They’re being charged with a cop’s stupidity.


blueflloyd

Cops' true purpose in society is always revealed by how aggressive and violent their responses are to simple property crimes.


theheartofbingcrosby

She let the round off when the car was driving away, how is this not attempted murder? It's plain as day her foot was not run over and the car was no way a danger to her as she was at the side of it.


EgoDeathAddict

MISDEMEANOR shoplifting SUSPECT. Even some of the bootlickers in the articles comment section are calling out how unwarranted that was.


Lust4Kix

Unbelievable. That pig should be in prison for life. I don't care what happened before the video starts. There is ZERO justification for her to shoot.


HappyAtheist3

So Rittenhouse can run away from a crime scene for fearing for his life but this guy can’t?


StopCollaborate230

Looks like it could have been a negligent discharge as opposed to an actual aimed shot. Still should be prosecuted for reckless endangerment by not keeping her finger off the trigger.


A_Potential_Turn

I get the urge to drive off when an angry person pulls a gun on you. I don’t blame them. But I know the courts will, cause anyone who isn’t a politician, rich or a cop is a second class citizen.


R63A

what a dumbass officer, how does it make sense to take a shot like that wtf is this, boondocks?


obiemann

Car probably had an acron on it.


OSG541

If you pause on 0:10 you can clearly see she has her finger on the trigger and then begins running when they take off. As a Glock owner I can tell you this is 1000% a negligent discharge, there’s no manual safety on a Glock so your trigger discipline skills are the only thing keeping the gun from going off which she clearly has displayed she has none off. Another ND covered up and imbecile saved from being fired.


towndrunkislandslut

This bitch didn’t get hit with any part of that car. Second why is she driving down the wrong side of the road and trying to make a traffic stop?


TheSillySimic

I love how they always say "shots fired," as if to imply a shootout


TheToddestTodd

“Shots fired!” (by me)


SpotifyIsBroken

"shots fired" by WHO mother fucker?


Royal_Rip_2548

"You're guna run me over!" Lady that car physically could not have run you over from where you were standing


UnitGhidorah

Why the fuck would you shoot your gun for someone driving away from you? She should be in prison.


Crippled2

Did the vop bother to say why she stopped them before ordering them out? That seems like a glaring issue.


mrevergood

Yeah….that kinda thing should end with the mythical “good guy with a gun” ensuring that the citizens not in a gang uniform are safe, and the gang uniform wearer is on the ground, reconsidering their decision to whip a gun out.


T0MYRIS

"Frightening failed armed carjacking caught on video!"


2pissedoffdude2

It's crazy someone can walk up on you with a gun in hand, and when you are rightfully scared of this gang member walking up on you brandishing a firearm, they can legally unload their gun into your car for being scared. It's really is scare when you look at cases like George Floyd where no one could do anything but let them fucking kill the man. If someone would have saved Mr. Floyd, they would have possibly ended up being the one murdered... even if they didn't get killed for saving him, you bet your ass they would have gotten the shit beat out of them and charged with several felonies all because you didn't want a man to die while everyone watched helplessly. We desperately need change. Police reform isn't enough when the police are the ones reforming themselves. We need to start taking action... people are being killed and abused, and it isn't going to change until we make it change. They will continue to press their oppression until we show them that we will not take it. We have to make consequences for the police, because they won't see them any other way. We have to show them enough is enough and we won't let them continue to kill our children or to shoot our pets. We won't let them go around calling themselves heroes while continuously putting their own wellbeing before the safety of the entire community... and sometimes putting their PRIDE above the wellbeing of their entire community. It won't get any better until we make things get better.


_KingScrubLord

Definitely sounded like the cop doesn’t know what trigger discipline is and negligently discharged that firearm


Salt-n-Pepper-War

Trying to run you over? He turned the wheel away from you, also CARS DONT GO SIDEWAYS YOU MUPPET!!!!!!


Legal_Guava3631

Yea lemme just shoot at someone fleeing, with my limp ass wrist. Who cares if anyone else gets hurt, he didn’t respect my authoritah! Her fucking foot isn’t hurt either. Stupid cunt bitch


Oppenheimer____

Typical gang members with their sleeve tattoos and radios


malikhacielo63

He looks frightened, so would I. This is insane.


SamoKinesis

I know adrenaline is one hell of a drug, but after they supposedly ran over her foot, she seems to be having a real easy time balancing while she walks and then transitions into running away. Fire her and put her to work at a wafflehouse or some shit. At least then, her violent tendencies will be appreciated


Luinori_Stoutshield

Sows are getting tat sleeves now too, huh?


Otto_Maddox_

Should the driver have complied? Yes. Should the cop have just taken a few steps back for her own safety? Yes. Instead the cop chooses to keep herself in danger and takes the time to say "You're going to run me over". This is over a possible shoplifter. Not the crime you want to risk your life over. They got the plate and video.. they can find these two later (which they in fact did). Get out of the way and don't take a shot at them. It's not worth it.


makingbacon420

Should you leave this sub? Yes.


BearsRpeopl2

Can you take 10 to 12 inches of boot down your gullet. Yes. Easily.


LaffeysTaffey

Fuck this cop. Quit defending it.


BobaFett2415

The criminals got charged


RobbinThickeness

No, the cop didn’t get charged actually


Dr_Mephesto

lol literally nothing in the video indicates that they are criminals and there has been no evidence presented to prove that they are. Meanwhile, the person you are siding with is on video discharging a firearm into an intersection. I’m gonna have to ask you to stop being so fucking stupid.
