For those who haven’t heard, this woman in Arkansas was speeding by a slight margin (5 miles) and was flagged to pull over by an officer. She put on her blinker and got into the right most lane, then slowed and put her hazards on, indicating she was looking for a safe place to pull over. This is actually what police departments, and this one specifically, tell people to do. The shoulder on that road was quite narrow, and she was likely waiting to exit the interstate.
Despite this, the officer slowly gains on her and uses a pit maneuver to spin her car out. This sent her (and her unborn child) careening into the median and completely flipping the car. The officer is heard calling for ems in a very calm voice.
From what I can find, the woman is alright, as is her child. She’s looking to pursue legal action against the officer, who has defended his actions by claiming she was driving wildly and swerving. As I’ve seen so far, he is still being paid and on the force.
Can we get him fired?
Details and fact checking: she's reported to have been clocked going 84mph in a 70 zone (I couldn't verify if that's accurate) but had already reduced speed to 60 and put on her hazards when she was hit. The articles I found reported that he hit her roughly two minutes after putting on his lights, and there was no exit she could use before that. She was also two months pregnant.
The specifics don't really matter in what seems like a ludicrous use of force, but they're there to paint a full picture.
Something else important that to note is that this motherfucker has 100 pit maneuvers and 3 deaths because of it on record. He does it because it’s fun to him, not necessary.
