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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.

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.
go suck an egg,
ReplyDeleteand break your leg.

in their mind they are king kong,
but we all know they are just slime.
