A pregnant woman in Iowa had a particularly difficult labor this week when she was held at gunpoint on her way to the hospital.
Rachel Kohnen and her husband Ben were going 30 miles over the speed limit on Tuesday morning in Fort Dodge, Iowa, as Rachel was in labor and felt that if the two did not get to the hospital soon she was going to give birth in a car.
Around that time, a police officer turned on his sirens to pull the couple over, but they kept going, ultimately being stopped when dispatched officers threw down tire spikes, blowing out the couple's tires.
And now, in just released video from the dashboard camera of one of the officers, Rachel can be seen struggling to get down on the ground as multiple officers surround her with their guns drawn, this before being led off to the hospital in a squad car where she gave birth soon after.

She was speeding and would not stop for the officer. That's all she had to do , stop and he would have led or taken her to the hospital. Always some dumb excuse.
Maybe she shouldn't have been speeding to the hospital.
Look at all the lives she put at stake including her unborn baby.
I am sure they just didn't pull a speeder out of the car and slam them on the ground.
Hmmm...Cops are not physic. Pull the car over and avoid this whole situation. This was her fourth child, so she knew when it was go time. Another article stated that she didn't give birth until an hour AFTER arriving at the hospital-even with all the chaos. She was no where close to giving birth in the car. These people need to suck it up and admit their fault.
I think she got what she deserved and I am sick of these eye catching articles slamming the police officers because of their hate for the law.
