The suspect claimed he didn't have his physical driver's license on him, but showed officers a photo of it on his phone. When they ran it through the system, things took a turn. The license came back as invalid. The officer returned and called him out on it. Oh, man.

The man suddenly hit the gas, trying to make a getaway with the officer still hanging onto the vehicle in a reckless attempt to shake him off. The suspect swerved toward a light pole, narrowly missing it. With no time to spare, the officer pulled his gun and fired. Both the officer and the suspect were thrown from the moving car while the young child remained inside. Shots fired. Shots fired. Come here. Come here. Come here. Come here, baby. Come here.

I'm going to check over. After the chaos, police searched the vehicle and identified the driver as 25-year-old David Roberts. It turned out Roberts was already facing serious felony charges, including attempted assault and illegal gun possession. He was rushed to the hospital, but later died from his injuries. Thankfully, the child in the car was not hurt. But unlike this case, the officer in our next story faced a truly tragic event. He was run over by a trailer, suffering severe injuries as a result. Where'd he hit you? The car ran over the [ __ ] trailer. On May 3rd, 2024, around 3:00 a.m., Bell Isle police officer Zachary Matthews pulled over a pickup truck towing a trailer with a broken light. At first, everything seemed routine. The driver was cooperative and respectful. But in an instant, the situation took a drastic turn. What began as a simple traffic stop quickly became a fight for Officer Matthews life. How you doing, sir? What's up, man? Hey, my name's Officer Matthews with Balman. Yes, sir. The reason I'm stopping you is you have the trailer back there without any lights on and no tag light on there at all. What? May I May I get out? Yeah, give me one second though. But I need your license, registration, and your insurance. One second. Could you That light is Well, I have it pointed at the steering wheel, not at you. But that light I have very sensitive eyes and I had a eye issue. I was blind, but my vision is coming back and that light caused very problem serious problems in my eye. I I turned my car off. Doug, sir, I got you. For my safety, I had to be able to see in the car what you're doing. So, that's why I haven't pointed at the steering wheel, but not at you. No, we we've done this a little while back ago. I understand, sir. You're doing your job. But, I the same stuff that I have in my car, sir. The same everything. Matter of fact, my paperwork is even better now. Cool. Awesome. The officers collected all the necessary documents and ran a background check identifying the driver as 38-year-old Carlos Jerome Miller. The check revealed a criminal history and both Officer Matthews and his partner noticed a strong smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle. These red flags led them to detain Miller, but suddenly he became violently resistant. The officers were forced to use physical force to try and subdue him. All right, Carlos. So, all right, boss. So, what I have you do Okay, I'll have you step out with me. Okay. Well, I'm not asking right now. Okay. So, I smell the odor of burnt cannabis in this vehicle. I've had it confirmed by another officer. No, sir. But I'm No one's reaching for nothing, sir. I'm telling you. May us call a supervisor, please, sir. Call right now. No, sir. No, sir. No, sir.

Stop reaching. Stop. Help. Help. Help. Help. Help. Help. Help. Carlo, get out of here. [Applause] doing. [ __ ] The struggle caused Officer Matthews to fall, trapping him beneath the weight of the trailer. Though it lasted only a few seconds, the damage was severe. The trailer rolled over him. Yet, despite the pain, he managed to free himself and jumped in to help his partner detain the suspect. At first, everything appeared normal. Adrenaline kept him on his feet. But within moments, the true extent of his injuries began to surface. Sir, stop resisting ruin. Sir, please. Please, Matthew. Stop. This is me, man. Stop. I'm not doing anything, sir. Please. I got it. I got it. I need a hospital. Go relax. Relax. Step aside. I need a hospital. Relax. My wife. I'm sorry. I'm not ready. Can I please my soldier? I can't. Oh, you hurt me. Oh, sir. Please.

Sir, may I please put my legs down? I'm not trying to run. Backup officers and medics quickly arrived on scene and took control of the situation. I'm not trying to run. Let's go sit right there, man. Take his legs. I'm not car. I'm not trying to run, sir. Please. Oh, no. Please. Where did they hit you? The car ran over the [ __ ] trailer. Odor cannabis in the car. We were pulling them out.

Please, sir. I'm a human. Please, sir. The suspect, Carlos Jerome Miller, was placed in handcuffs and secured in a patrol car. Meanwhile, Officer Matthews condition began to deteriorate. Medics determined he had sustained serious back injuries and rushed him to the hospital. After receiving treatment, his recovery took several months. Miller was charged with aggravated battery, resisting an officer, drug possession, and possession of a firearm. If convicted, he faces the possibility of several years behind bars. In the next case, the officer was shot by a suspect who then stole his patrol vehicle. The tragic chain of events ultimately led to the suspect's own death. 802, I'm hitting the light. He's taking off with a patrol vehicle. On October 15th, 2023, a California Highway Patrol officer pulled over 39-year-old Joseph Pate after multiple drivers called in reports of his reckless driving. When the officer approached, Pate refused to roll down his window or respond. Hey, can you roll down your window? Feeling something was off, the officer started heading back to his patrol car. But before he could get far, Pate stepped out of his vehicle, revealing a deadly surprise. Hey, stay in your vehicle. Hey. Hey. 802. 802. Shots fired. Shots fired. Shots fired. 1199. Without warning, Pate jumped out of his car, armed with an AR-15, and opened fire on the officer. Caught in a sudden gunfight, the officer quickly returned fire, striking Pate several times and ultimately bringing him down. Even after hitting Pate multiple times, the officer held back from approaching, and it turned out to be the right call. Just 2 minutes later, in a shocking twist, Pate got back up. He's got a long gun. Long gun on the ground. Stay on the ground. [Music] Do not touch that gun. Make sure we get fire out. 802, he's got an AR. It's underneath him on his link. 802, I'm not hit.

This time, Pate fired again, hitting the officer in the leg before seizing one of the patrol vehicles. He managed to drive for a few minutes, but his escape was short-lived. Pate lost control of the car, crashing into a truck and finally ending up in a ditch. [Music] I'll take it again. Fire's coming. That's good. That's good. Pate was taken into police custody and rushed to the hospital, but he later succumbed to his injuries. Fortunately, both the truck driver and the police officer made full recoveries after the incident. In the next case, the suspect sped off with a police officer clinging to the hood of the car, resulting in serious injuries. Stop the [ __ ] car. Stop it.

Awesome. Okay, go ahead and step out. Hello. Go and step out, man. Yeah. Reach. Unbuckle your seat belt and step out of the vehicle. Yeah. What's up? Despite the circumstances, the officer remained respectful, calmly explaining the situation to the man before asking him to step out of the vehicle. But the driver had other plans. He rolled up his window and refused to comply. Stop the car, man. Stop the car. Stop the car. It's not a big deal. Stop theing car. Stop theinging car. Stop theing car. Stop it. Stop the car.
