She was reportedly involved in a 3-car accident, and sped off. An off-duty K-9 cop blocked her with his personal vehicle but, when he exited, approached her car, and identified himself as a police officer, she hit the pedal again. To avoid being hit, he jumped onto her hood, hanging onto the windshield wipers, as she sped away, hitting 80mph on the highway.

Luckily, he wasnt injured. And he managed to call 911 while holding on for dear life. The driver was ultimately caught, and was denied bail. And her family cussed out the judge. Nice.

Of course they were, otherwise they would have to admit that the woman in question was something less than a fine, upstanding citizen who did nothing wrong. That would be like, you know, accepting responsibility and all. Can't have that, now can we. It's all a conspiracy, and the police are lying. .

According to the report she faces up to 50 years in prison. She'll probably get 30 days. And that's what's wrong with our current revolving door judicial system.

Absolutely. What an idiot.

First no cop on-duty or off has any business jumping on the hood of any car, under any circumstances. That is clearly not in any police training. If he had an issue with her, he should have called for an on-duty cop to come and conduct a normal traffic stop on her, with red and blue lights. I think she will have a good case arguing that she was in fear for her safety.

Off duty means not in uniform and not in a police cruiser. He gives chase, blocks in her car and approaches her vehicle and then identifies himself as a cop.

Anybody can say they're a cop. We citizens have a right to question that. She really doesn't have a clue who that guy is or what he's going to do to her if he gets close enough to her. Her natural instinct is to flee.

I don't know. She may have a case for doing everything in her power to get away from him. Even the scumbags have a right to protect themselves from a perceived danger, including strange men who chase them and claim to be cops.

You must be related to that woman. First of all, he had to jump on her hood or get mowed down. Secondly, what kind of subhuman does it take to drive off, and at 80 mph, with another person hanging on for dear life.

You need to get your sensibilities straight.
