My old chief always told the officers, 'get there fast, but get there safe – we don't need to respond to an accident too'. Wiser words were never said regarding quick backup.
wg hat the heck
Terrible driving skills
Officer is lucky he was able to dodge that traffic light pole as he was going to hit it at pretty high speed
Definitely a womans car with all that dust and pet hair in the dash 😂
Obviously driving way above his skill level and equipment as there was too much traffic which ended up making him make a bad decision that could of been handled better. He definitely needs some coaching time from a good instructor.
No way was impact under 35mph
The laws of physics don't care whether you wear a uniform or not.
He didn’t start to lose control by the black SUV he was moving outward so he could make a wider turn. On the actual turn itself is when he lost control.
Lots of lessons to be learned here, he was driving much to fast for the traffic and misjudged the turn. Luckily nobody was seriously hurt. First rule of being a first responder is your own safety.
How can he possibly stop on a dot if he really needed to, going that high rate of speed smh. Officers should have a law that states they can go more than 50 unless you’re on the highway.
Oh HELLLLLL nall 😩
Amazing how many dumbass civilian drivers don't know how to move to the shoulder when an emergency vehicle is approaching
Sure hope the citizen sued.
We desperately must End Qualified immunity. If that were a civilian he’d be facing jail &/or prison time. Cops must be held far more accountable than civilians/citizens. Disgusting blue cartel culture that fits perfectly the definition of a criminal organization aka RICO.
I don’t know why I always come across these things before I have to go to the cities
Waaaay to fast
VERY POOR DRIVING
broo cant drive coulda avoided that car and hit noting
108 mph??????!!!!😵💫🤬🤯😫
Seriously, now if that was me driving, I would go to prison for 3 months maybe 2, have my license suspended for a year or two😨😱🤮🥺😩😰🙄🤯 unbelievable 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
OMG 😨😰🙄🤢🙄🙄
The civilian was later cited for speeding
Imagine this cop being in a fire truck. He would surely drain out the air tanks for the brakes for laying on the air horn
Officer your a$$ was going too fast! 😡 You almost killed someone!
He did take away tons of speed in that arc before the t-bone. Gosh. I was nervous in anticipation.
My dad taught the ppl who teach ppl how to drive among other things. I'm familiar with safe driving at all speeds in all sorts of vehicles n in all weather. Skid school was fun!
You only have to drive well once to get your licence. Hehe. 🙃
MY BACK, MY NECK, MY BACK AND MY NECK!!!!
I know that person he got a fat ass check
