I always have mixed feelings about police running red lights. A pedestrian was killed in my area when a police officer ran a red

Kinda messed up how it was a accident and soon as the guy gets outta his car he puts his hands up. Sad world

Bwahahahaha, I know this intersection....right up the street from me

Everyone here hating on the officer who nearly gets killed. All y'all can fuck off.
GloriousWhoresOfImgur
Every car crash is dangerous I'll give you that. But the officer was hit near the back and flipped not T-boned. Seat belt saved the flip

Defender3113
If this is in the US the guy who hit the cop HAD the right of way.
rmeg
Yes, but I think he was also attempting to evade the other police car at the time.
todayok
From the video nothing says that. Another cop appeared behind him but so what?
spacerat1982
He's the only one that didn't run a red light.
spacerat1982
I mean A for effort, but you can't not hit all those emergency vehicles?
Mannus
Brother wasn't taking any chances. He saw Chris Rocks' informational video.

Yeah I saw it. Feed me, fuck me, shut the fuck up! Pretty good advice

1/? You know... I know LEO's work in some of the worst conditions those of us NOT them can imagine. I've seen it first hand when younger...
Tsublaki
2/? but as a grown man, who's essentially still the working poor. I watched this and thought to myself, not of the man who hit the cruiser
Tsublaki
3/? poorly. I simply thought, "got what you deserved" in relation to the officer in the lead car, and the car that hit him. I have never
Tsublaki
4/? witnessed a more divisive timelapse in my life. On the one hand, no they don't deserve that, and I know that. The other part of me
Tsublaki
5/ however sits there thinking to himself, yes, yes he does. Not even knowing the extent to which the person may be hurt. That troubles
Tsublaki
6/6 me deeply...
superleggera101
imo each police station should be equipped with a dodge challenger hellcat police car for those high speed chases.
madmatt2024
Most officers can't handle a Hemi Charger, you give them a Hellcat and it'll be wrapped around a tree the first time they have to use it.
superleggera101
just have a specially trained group of officers that can handle it.
madmatt2024
Its still a horrible vehicle for a pursuit. A Corvette would be much better choice because it will actually go around corners.
superleggera101
that's true, a Camaro zl1 would be the king though
superleggera101
or a z06 corvette
horseman05
Well....he did things right at the end!!
CrazyGuyOnABike
Yea. Mistakes happen, and dealing with them intelligently makes it much better.

Well he got out then raised his hands. Id stick my hands out the window and stay seated.

He did nothing wrong. The right of way cannot be taken, it can only be yielded. The cop was at fault for not ensuring the lane was clear
AStegosaurus
before proceeding through the intersection.
GreatAlfredini
So they turned off the camera right after pulling up on the black guy. RIP.
n0n53n53
I was so nervous when I saw him get out.
PROTECTMYVIRGINITY
I dont think they turned it off it could be that the gif just ends there
shahbrahdaman
Yep. He ded

Sad part is that is completely an option nowadays

Yeah, the hail of police bullets had nothing to do with it.

From what I've heard is most police camera run all the time if you turn if off it raises serious questions and I don't believe there is a1/2
ATLandNerdy
The car units can be turned off too, there have been cases about tapes or drives going missing from the trunk mounted equipment
nforsComputerSmuggler
Off switch for car mounted cameras. Body camera it makes sense for a off switch for when off duty other wise there would be hours of 2/3

I love how the guy getting out of car instantly puts hands behind head
AccountCreatedToUpdogVotes
Honestly, in that situation you don't want to get out of the car. Hand clearly on the wheel is what you wanna do.
todayok
Hands on the wheel, why what'd he do wrong?
PaulBarker127001
In Australia, we don't really have to worry about going for a drive and being shot by the police

GloriousWhoresOfImgur
Getting out of the car can be taken as an act of aggression. You get out of the car without being told the guns come out.
lemonfluff
Slight road rage after an accident = police might shoot you?! Jeeees, often people run out of cars scared they might catch fire.
eroso
Grey car will be ok. Cop signaled left at first, sirens come on a bit late, he had green light & ~3 seconds to see the cop and stop the car.
Diabolicalwifey
Grey car will 100% be at fault. They will never ticket them selfs.
Jokerstamp
Themselves *
KingNova
Yeah cop has a red light. Seems to be going after someone who ran a red light.
n0n53n53
Counterpoint, he's black. So he's probably going to be ok when he leaves the hospital
eroso
I dunno about that. He is American, so he might not afford to go to hospital.
Leatherneck1833
Well played
DrKriegersClone
From the other cop car's arrival, I thought this was a deliberate ramming to end a pursuit.
eroso
So did I at first sight. Then I noticed that the cops goes after the car that ran through red lights.
Angrywanker
So another police car was chasing the car that hit the first police car?
justagirl999
The police station is right on that corner
Gandalfsuglybrother
That's what it looked like to me
Ireallydonthaveanyideawhattonamemyself
No. There's footage out there from another angle. Just a coincidence.
Buster11
Police SUV intercepted the vehicle being chased, if you watch his acceleration he was lining up. Cops didn’t care about the red light runner
Tuggernauts
You're an idiot, any cop who knows how to do their job would never try to stop a vehicle that way.
Buster11
The cop chasing the vehicle just cared more about his fellow officers than the perp. It’s not a coincidence.
MooMooGoesTheFish
Wow, you really pulled that explanation out of your ass.
ilovetinytitts
there's video of the other angle. He wasn't being chased.

TECHNO1972
Or in Los Santos. ;)
stopitlucas
I think there just happened to be multiple police around. My guess is based off the fact the cop didn't go straight for the driver. 1/2
stopitlucas
If he had been chasing the black male he would of directed his attention to detaining him. I'd guess.
EveryonesDad
I'm not trying to make fun of you, I just want you to know it should be "would have" or "would've"
claudesniper
Thanks Dad
TheDoctorCrankenstein
I think with the other car flipping over after a hit like that I'd be more concerned with the potential threat to life than the culprit.
Snypa88
honestly with such a relaxed roll over, anyone in that would have been fine. just a lil upside down lol. Bet they had a good laugh
TheDoctorCrankenstein
After watching again yea it rolled over slower than I first thought. Probably a bruise and a headache at most
WinterBorn
1) I see a lot of people trying to figure out who's wrong in this case. The car that struck the officer was supposed to yield right of way
TooDumbForRickandMorty
If that were possible for human reaction time.. or even his breaks
WinterBorn
Like I said in another reply, lights and sirens don't make you immune to the laws of physics. Hence the "duty to use do caution" part
MrFnortner
The driver VIOLATING THE RIGHT OF WAY is at fault. The officer is the one violating the r-o-w granted by the green light. Lights & siren 1/2
MrFnortner
don't change the presumption of right of way held by the crossing driver.
WinterBorn
2) the the emergency vehicle operating in emergency mode (lights and sirens). However, the officer also has a duty to use "due caution"
WinterBorn
3) when proceeding through the intersection. Both are at fault, but the real one at fault is the officer. People don't stop like they should
DrKriegersClone
I'd figure about 50/50 fault on this.
WinterBorn
4) and he had a duty to make sure every vehicle saw him and stopped before going ahead. Source: cop who's done that. Many times.
noobwrench383
This was actually a failure to yield situation and bad judgment.
HexiHamaski
he was also going really slow through, if he had floored it like i know those suv's can, he would have cleared before he got hit
WinterBorn
1) He was going slow to clear the intersection and make sure driver's saw him. Having lights and sirens doesn't make you immune
iAmActuallyaDog
Well if I have the green light but see theres a cop car running a red light at the intersection, I will slow down or stop.
AngryPanda66
So will everyone.
GavinScreaming
IFyou see him. I for one am not on the lookout for cops every time I'm going through a green like at 40+ MPH
TheEbbesen
He should hear him, no?
tacticalattackterriers
Depending on the speed limit, even if he had slammed on his brakes the second the siren went on, he may not have been able to stop in time.
Mexicohere
Probably, but it looks like our man had no time to react. You can see him steering hard to not hit the cop car and failing
barnwolf
I hear a siren when being followed by a cop car, I'm going be confused why he's pulling me over but not turning on his lights.
barnwolf
Not looking around for the second cop car that just happens to be cutting in front of me so I can T-bone his car.
comertwill
Cop is clearly at fault here. Green light is green light. Cops are supposed to use caution at intersection, even during pursuits.
SemperFiZero
As would any sane person.
dannishadow
If you see him. The guy very well may not have, especially since the cop had been sitting there a moment before with his lights off.
sonskyn
He proceeded fairly slowly through that intersection. If the driver was looking at all, he'd have seen him.
Ded91
Obviously don't understand blind spots in modern vehicles. My rear view mirror can block out an entire vehicle coming from the right.
ForgotMyOtherAcct
Blind spots tend not to be in front of you though
LadyWidebottom
Except this car was RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. If your vehicle has a blind spot that fucking big in the front, you shouldn't be driving it.
AssistantToTheRegionalManagerDwightSchrute
I think what he's proposing is that the blind spot kept him from seeing the cop until he was in front of him and therefore too late to stop
otebear
As an EMT, I wish more people were like you... fortunately, the ambulance will take much more of a beating than a car.
HungrehHippo
Put spikes on them. People will never run into one again...
27yoUGLYvirgin
I actually think you're wrong. It's not like people don't care about running into police or ems now. They just don't think it will happen.
VivianFox
Well don't be stupid pulling into an intersection without checking left and right first...
otebear
Fun fact: some events are unforeseeable. Example: someone speeding and running directly into the cab.
VivianFox
Or even an emergency vehicle jumping directly infront of you in an intersection. Crazy unforseeable events.
otebear
An 8000-pound vehicle with 2 digital sirens, a Q, air horns, and more lights than literally any other emergency vehicle in the entire state.
SpecialProjectY
But not the paramedics and the patient.
otebear
Fortunately, the paramedics probably won't be there, and I fear you may have misinterpreted my comment. Consider inertia and go from there.
SpecialProjectY
Yeah, they should make cars like ambulances. Seriously though, when you get flipped or bumped, patient gets promoted and there's suddenly1/2
SpecialProjectY
three more patiens on the way to the hospital. Not all ambulances are equiped with four point seatbelts and airbags for a hold. 2/2
