Crowd was full of fucking stupid people. But it sure looked like cop could’ve backed out of it. He also sped away from the scene, so since he had no intention of staying I’m not sure why he didn’t just roll forward at like 10-15 MPH until he was clear. No reason to back up and floor it like that.

A Tacoma police officer whose SUV was surrounded by a crowd was seen on camera running over a pedestrian Saturday night.

The incident was captured on camera and distributed on social media.

Tacoma police officer Wendy Haddow said officers were called to Ninth South and Pacific where cars were blocking the intersection and doing burnouts and doughnuts. A crowd of about 100 people had gathered to watch.

A Tacoma police officer who arrived soon found himself surrounded by people who were banging on the windows and SUV in a threatening way, Haddow said. Some of the SUV’s windows may have been broken.

As the officer tried to move out of the crowd, he backed up, but was unable to get out, so he drove forward.

Haddow said she believed one person fell as the SUV moved forward and was run over. She said one person was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.

Weird. 20+ years go we would race in empty areas and generally tried to avoid the police. This was true in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Austin, and San Antonio and we sure as shit didn’t try to shut down streets, or do that dumb shit drifting.

Even then the fools not paying attention and idiots doing dumb shit got too much for me.

It's like most thing is America these days, completely full of stupid people everywhere

Well it's usually the stupid people out in the streets doing stupid ass shit that gets captured on Phones, and uploaded to the interwebz.  There sure seems to be a vibe in America that you can often get away with what you want for some reason today. The concept of me me me as the most important ass on the block, and fuck you if you think you're gonna tell me what to do. That leads to some really stupid ass actions alone.

If your blocking off streets illegally you're doing stupid ass shit right there.  The cop may have had a way out to the rear,  why didn't he take it ?  Any number of reasons.  You hope it was because he panicked, and not because he was saying fuck you I'm taking some of you out.

after watching the video, and seeing it's in Washington state, I just assumed the cop's Birkenstock got caught on the floormat.  fucking scary.  has happened to me.  only my cat-like reflexes prevented a tragic fender-bender.

but just in case:  fuck everybody involved.

side note:  you can probably react a little quicker and get out of the way if you're not so busy making another jittery, vertically oriented cellphone movie that's gonna change the world.

You are correct the cop should have driven at 3-5 mph to leave.  The cop panicked.   The crowd was stupid to confront the cop.  The pronoun use in the original article has most people rightfully confused, unless the cop is getting gender reassignment from sentence to sentence.

Extremely gauche of you to assume he/she isn't.

Does it matter? Cop was clearly using lethal force with his vehicle. He even backed up to achieve ramming speed.  If this was one of our soldiers in Iraq mowing down a bunch of disgruntled civilians with his hummer, I wonder what the reaction would be?  

Dude, please tell me this is satire.  What was the cops alternative.  Let them blow off a little steam?  There should be no consequences for attacking a cop car in a threatening manner.  GTFO with that shit.

Mess with the tires you get tread marks

Put me in this category.  Whether it's idiots storming the capitol or idiots attacking a cop car, actions have fucking consequences.    People tried to defend that Q Anon nut that was shot as well. Zero issue with the cops actions.   This absolutely should fall into the category of play stupid games win stupid prizes.

You're a fucking moron. Do you think those assholes wouldn't have kept following and pounding on the vehicle as they backed up? And then what? Some asshole stands directly behind the vehicle while backing up? How far does he move in reverse before he can turn the vehicle around? Do you really think they wouldn't try and interfere with attempts to turn it around? A three point turn?

 

You're a fucking idiot if you haven't learned a thing from all these situations where people have surrounded a vehicle to rage on it. Those people are jackals who won't stop attacking a police vehicle until they see blood. The best course of action is what they took. Fuck those assholes. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

What’s wrong with trying it out and actually see if they do that, and then speed off if attack continues? You stupid fucking worthless piece of shit idiot.

That really worked out well so many times recently. Dumbass

I agree with your point that they were not gonna stop. I'd also agree that he should have at least made the attempt to back out of the situation.  

I'd like my law enforcement officials to have some kind of situational awareness, and try to employ an analytical, cooler head approach to situations before resorting to force, which is easy to say when you're behind a keyboard of course.

Agreed. They should have seen it coming and not got in so deep in the first place. But once in there their options shrank to very few and none with a real positive outcome. That's why escorting convoys in the desert was usually done at a faster pace unless there were warnings from up ahead. Get through before a.crowd can gather or avoid it altogether.

maybe if you're a cop you don't charge into a crowd of random idiots alone in the first place, dipshit? quit trying to say she had no reponsibility there, she helped create the situation.  just wait for more cops to show up then move in.

Maybe as a cop it was her duty to break up the street racers blocking the street and doing illegal things like street racing?

Fails on both sides:  

Racers for illegally blocking a street.  MAJOR

Single cop trying to wade into a mob situation.  STUPID

Mob for attacking the cop.    MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR

Cop for maybe not trying to slowly back out of the situation, and get back up.  That's a tougher call, but panicking isn't what I want cops to do.  PANIC MODE

Fucking idiots for attacking a car, and thinking there would be no repercussions.  I don't have much sympathy at all for the dumb ass who got hit, if they were participating.   UHHHH SO SORRY...DUMB ASS.  (SEE:  mess with the bull get the horns )

Nope. Stupid pigs caused the people to street race, block the intersection and beat on the cop car.  If we didn’t have police this never would have happened #defundthepolice :/

Maybe the cop was having her period, and thus more irrational than usual.

an angry crowd can smell the menstruation; much like bears

It's obvious quite a few people haven't watched the entire video and are only reacting to the part where someone got squished. She DID try to back out of the crowd and was blocked by racers that wouldn't let her move. Then she tried going forward before eventually hitting the gas to gtfo.
