So, whose house is he going to? In policing, sometimes a simple disturbance call can turn into a situation where your life flashes right in front of your eyes. It could be from a weapon, or it can be a vehicle coming straight for you. This is one of those. So, whose house is he going to? SHUT IT OFF! SHUT IT DOWN! 275, CONNIE, HE JUST HIT MY SQUAD. 275, CONNIE, he's running. Don't let him get away. Watch what you're doing, though. We have two units, primary and a secondary unit in pursuit. >> 286, Connie, we're heading north on double O. Don't get that close. Yeah. Don't get close. Uh-uh. Cuz he can back up and smash your squad, so This is probably a trainee that's in training. I can hear the field training officer giving directions. 275, Connie. Send other units, please. 424, Connie, we're heading north on Tilden. SHUT THE CAR OFF! LET ME SEE BOTH YOUR HANDS! OPEN THE DOOR! Keep your hands where we can SEE THEM! STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND FACE AWAY from us! Keep your hands UP IN THE AIR! TAKE FOUR STEPS BACKWARDS! Keep coming back! Raise your shirt up. But Turn in a circle. Keep turning. Start walk No, face away from us. Start walking backwards. You made contact with the civilian This is where you are, Daniel. situation that was going on. Stop. Get down on your knees. Keep your hands up. Get on your knees and get your hands up. DO NOT MOVE. Do you understand me? Cross your ankles. Hold on, James. Do not move. All right. What the hell is wrong with you? You almost killed me. You understand that? I did none of that. I was avoiding the situation that was not right. in custody. Okay, I want to go over a couple of things that I noticed on this. If we go back, we can see that this officer who nearly got hit by a car is breathing very very heavy. He's in a high-stress situation. This vehicle came at him. He's in a pursuit and he's on gun. Let's look at the direction that his firearm is facing. It's facing down, not in the direction of suspect. And this is not a knock on him. This is common for a person who's under a high degree of stress to be a little bit off. The other challenge is with this heavy breathing that we hear, is it ideal for him to be giving the verbal commands to the suspect? Maybe the FTO that has the trainee can pick up on this and say, "Okay, I got commands." The other thing of note is that if you look down the street, you can see that if they engage this guy in gunfire for whatever reason, look at the vehicles that cross over in front of this and the residents that are potentially outside or their houses. So, these are definitely dangerous situations for everyone involved. >> All right, and that's right there. I'm going to pop the trunk here. All right. We're good. We're good. We noticed it as they were taking him into custody and the way he's speaking right now that he's likely under the influence of some type of intoxicant. I'm sure that that's where the investigation is going to go. I'm going to stop right here. I always make mention of the command presence of the officer uniform and the physical conditioning that they're in. The issue that I have with the female officer is obviously get that hair in a bun. I mean, it's great to have long hair, but put it in a bun when you're on duty. If you have to get into some kind of altercation, having that hair out and flowing, as beautiful as it may be, it's not tactical and it can cause you challenges. And then the question you must ask yourself, because I believe she's in training, is is she in her optimal shape? I don't know. Maybe she is, but that's a question that she has to ask herself. >> 25 calling, if you can contact Chad, I need a tow for my car. Sit up. 10-4. [snorts] You want to pull his pants up a little bit? There's a child being abused at that residence. You want to put him in the car, sir? I'm fine. Watch your head. There's a There's a child being Put your feet in. I can't get in here. Because it's too tight. >> Scoot back. Scoot back. I I really can't. Well, you're going to have to There's no other way to get in there. There's no other way to get in there. No, actually, I really can't because I have pins and [ __ ] in my legs. There we go. Better get in. He was the first one out of the car? Uh James Tyler. I mean, he hit my car. He hit the house back there. He took out the front side. He took out of the fence, the dumpster. Is it drivable? Oh. Maybe if it felt so [ __ ] loose coming down the road. Now, my my car felt all freaking wiggly down the road. >> There is a lot of controversy about law enforcement officers shooting at cars when they think that they are coming at them. I'm going to address that a little bit further in the video because as this progresses, that becomes more of an interesting element to this whole case. He was out there flagging me down when I got there. I'm pointing to this car, so I pulled into the driveway, pulled up behind him. And as soon as I pulled up, the reverse lights came on. So, I'm I ran his plate to get that information. And as the one guy said, I said, um "Which house did you walk into?" They said, "The neighbor's house." And as I turned and I was going to walk up to him, all of a sudden he just [ __ ] floors it in in reverse. So, he hit my car here first. He floored it going forward, put in reverse, backed up, and I he hit the house. And then when he put in drive, floored it again, that's when he And I was standing at the back of my car, that's when he freaking hit my car and I fell into the fence. And then when he took off, he took out a dumpster and a fence and You okay? Yeah, I'm just nerves are All right, other than that, but you don't have to No. Okay. That took like 2 years off my life right there. Then he reeked of alcohol. I'll still do the OWI You want to do it or do you want to tell me to do it? We'll do it. It'd be good be good practice for her. The fact that he just damn near killed me, I was going to be I'm like, I ain't [ __ ] around with this guy. I figured my car was already screwed anyway, so Did you chase him in the in the car? Huh? In the car? Yeah, I drove I drove down here, but she was squirrely. These kind of cases, as I said, are interesting when an officer is in a position where they could potentially discharge their firearm into a vehicle. I decided to look up the current policy for this Lake Hallett Police Department, forgive me if I pronounced it wrong. And their policy mirrors many police departments, both federal, local, and state. And the policy for discharging at a moving vehicle is "Officers are authorized to discharge a firearm at a moving vehicle only if justified in the use of deadly force, and if it does not present an unreasonable risk to the officer or others. The three target requirements must still be fulfilled. One is target acquisition, two is target identification, and three is target isolation. Whenever you see these kinds of situations and they occur, know that you can look up the policy for most departments and see if it fits into those parameters. But one thing that is incredibly important is you don't get to decide that from 20/20 hindsight. The officer who's in the situation, in the mix, is the only one that can make that decision. But knowing and hearing this policy might be helpful for some of you who have questions about how some of these policies work. >> Well, what you charging me with? Attempted murder. My body cam was on, so you're going to see that car come right at me. >> I'd say you charge him with attempted murder. He literally tried to hit me. Whether that was his intention, but he drove straight at me. I mean, you're going to have OWI. I don't know if he's got any priors. You're going to have criminal damage to property. Like I said, he backed into the house, he took out the fence, he took out the dumpster. I'm serious, like attempted murder. >> I'm sure you heard what he kept saying. He said there's a child being abused there, that's why he was there. A child being abused there, and that there's a cop involved, and they're keeping it under wraps. So. Yeah, I mean, you can definitely smell the When I tell you to start, take nine heel-to-toe steps on the line, turn and take nine heel-to-toe steps back. And once you get to the step number nine, you're going to take a series of small steps and turn back around. Are you watching? I'm watching. Count out loud. I can't do it. Nope. Okay. All right. Okay, well, let me finish. Stop. Stop. I didn't tell you to to >> No, I can't do it. Listen, okay, listen. Have you done these before? Yes. Okay, so take a deep breath and blow into it until I tell you to stop. Blow, blow, blow. .08 Uh, .189 So, twice the legal limit. At the time of this recording, the information that I have that he was charged with that OWI, but a felony level cuz it appears that he had more than one in different jurisdictions. That could be the case. A fleeing charge, reckless endangerment, and also a damage to property charge, which we saw in the video here. What the adjudication of the actual final cases I don't have that information, but being arrested for this and this kind of behavior absolutely unacceptable. But, I think that it's important for us to kind of look at these kinds of situations where it could be a potentially deadly force situation involving a vehicle and getting a little bit more of an insight as to what policies are.
