Driver Charged With DUI After Hitting Montgomery Co. Police Officer

SILVER SPRING, Md. (WJZ)—Officer struck. Police say a drunk driver from Baltimore hits a Montgomery County officer while he’s directing traffic, and it’s all captures on camera by a news helicopter.

Investigative reporter Mike Hellgren has that incredible video and why the officer’s reaction is drawing scrutiny.

The dramatic scene unfolded Tuesday night on the Capital Beltway. Maryland State Police shut down several lanes for a bad accident.

As a Montgomery County police officer was directing traffic at the crash, a drunk driver veered out of the channeled lane and into a lane closed off to vehicles, grazing the officer.

I'd be pissed off also. Don't blame him. Blame the drunk.

I normally say the police are too violent, but I agree with this officer 100%. He could have easily lost his life. Besides, this guy's BAC was so high a strong wind probably could have knocked him over. You can't clearly tell that the cop used excessive force. Kudos to him for showing as much restraint as he did.

The world would be a better place

If the cop had shot him in the face.

but to his dismay he discovered,

the man he shot was a cop undercover.

he thought it was a sorrowful thing to lose a brother,

but a cop and criminal one can't tell one from the other.

he went to the funeral asked the widow what he could do,

she said I need his pension so keep collecting revenue.

cops are wrong,
most of the time,
in their mind they are king kong,
but we all know they are just slime.
