WV Cop Loses His Mind

[littletommy]

I think that's reaching, Stretch

Why is that perfectly safe for a cop? You don't see the irony in that? I've seen ISP do things on I-65, in heavy traffic that has almost made my heart stop! And all to pull over some guy going twelve over, even doing 15 over, it seems a bit crazy to me to risk your life driving 30 or 40 over to write a ticket. I wouldn't do it, no way in hell would I do it.

Did you see the video? the cop was flying! Why does that make sense to anyone?

I think this was a commentary on how the driver was going 12 mph over the limit, but how fast did the officer have to drive to catch up with him? From the video it appeared the officer was moving along rather quickly.

I understand physics and I know the officer has to speed to catch up to a speeding vehicle. However, it does seem a bit hypocritical to stop somebody for 12 mph over the limit when you had to drive 20 or 30 mph over the limit to catch up to him.

I don't expect all LEOs to get it.

Haha wow, everything seemed fine and then he just came unglued.

Because the average copper, has been trained in EVOC. The average person has not.

Ummmm that is a very well known training video done by a southern interdiction training team. It purpose is to show how NOT to act. Yea lets just pass it off as an everyday occurrence. Man some people!!

 

[FutureButterBar]

I love cops.

 

[! twitty]

That was too funny.

Given your past postings, you'll excuse us if we take your post with a hunk of salt. Do you have some proof that it's a training video? A link, perhaps? Or just your "word"?

That does make more sense. Not that officers haven't acted this way before (Canton) but the whole thing seemed sort of odd. Either he was acting or has some very serious mental issues judging by the way he went from calm to psycho in such a short time. I haven't actually seen that video before though.

 

[Bunnykid68]

Training video? Really?

 

[littletommy]

Yeah, stupid non LEOs, like a cop would ever act like a jack ass when he pulls somebody over.

I'm really not trying to be argumentative. I understand EVOC. I know officers are trained to drive at higher speeds and to be able to handle their vehicle. However, let me relate an incident I'm aware of.

The local Sheriff's office has a camp every summer for children. They hold it in a county park. The park is also the location of the annual EVOC training. They were doing a scenario where one officer was the "bad guy" and another officer had to pursue him. They actually put the children in the pursuing car. The pursuit car got a little too close to the edge of the road and got into a little gravel. The pursuit car ended up wrecking into a tree. Fortunately, nobody was injured.

Fast forward a couple of months. The same deputy that crashed into the tree, left a bar drunk and crashed his uninsured pickup truck into a house.

My point, even if you are well-trained, accidents can still happen.

Same SUV? Looking like this IS a training vid.

Hey, maybe this explains a lot in Canton, Ohio?!?

No?!?

Well...... shucks.......

 

[Banshee]

Wow that video is crazy. I seriously doubt kirk freeman's statements that it happens all the time. I denied an officer consent to search about 6 months ago and he just went on about his business.

 

[serpicostraight]

maybe all the videos we have seen are training videos. i just thought they was real. the way those actors seemed to be really mad when they kept yelling stop resisting. and the way those actors fell and screamed when they got tased and beat like it really hurt. those guys in hollywood are tricky. they sure had me fooled.

We always see that one, here's a different one.

I didn't really read the title of the video at all, so that totally caught me by surprise! Holy cow!
