Sorry can't seem to find in the article but is she black/brown? I mean not that it matters cuz he's psycho, but usually cops have a habit of turning vicious when a person of color is involved.

Arkansas State Trooper rams car when pregnant driver doesn't stop immediately in unsafe area; flips it
- Thread starter mbpm
- Start date
What I don't get is why states and cities choose to keep and protect reckless dip shits like this cop. They face losing millions in litigation and chip away at public trust keeping guys like this around. I've worked far less important and dangerous jobs where people who were or even just seemed like they might be a liability get let go with quickness.
Before you quote me, I know 90% of the time it's because of police unions

i mean that video pretty much encapsulates what it means to call/interact with a cop. Turned a routine stop into a flipped car.
This is true, I've been ticketed twice in DC by mail from a traffic camera. I live in Michigan. (From a silly toll exit I screw up if I am not paying attention).
that cop needs to be stripped of his badge. she was not endangering anyone and trying to pull over. if she had passed it's be a pretty easy case of involuntary manslaughter
Of course not, the driver wasn't shot to death while crawling out of her flipped vehicle.
....
bzzzt.
There will be 0% wrong with anything a police officer did.
ever. Can't give charlie an inch.

That's why it's so crazy looking back that cops are by default pictures as voices of reason in shows/movies.
Pregnant woman vs psycho cop in what should've been a mundane traffic stop; who will deplorables side with?

FOX 16 Investigates: Woman files lawsuit hoping for policy change surrounding PIT maneuvers
A Central Arkansas woman wants a policy change after she claims a State Police trooper negligently used a PIT maneuver, causing her car to overturn on the interstate. PIT stands for Precision Immob…

Other lawmakers on the committee say police shouldn't be questioned.
"End of the day when somebody is fleeing I will never question the method police officer uses to stop them," said Sen. Bart Hester (R-Cave Springs). "I don't care if it's 60 miles an hour, I don't care if its 100 miles an hour, I want them stopped as soon as possible."
First words coming out of his mouth weren't, are you okay. *Facepalm* cops are really the worse.
They will pay taxpayer money and go right back to refilling their coffers with more taxpayer money, while the guilty officer goes on a paid vacation.
This country is so broken.
Utterly insane with a single moments reflection. I don't know what else to say.

Sure that car they flipped went through a crowd of people and killed an entire family but we sure stopped it and fast!
Another case of a psycho with a badge, and it hardly surprises me anymore. The woman clearly has her flashers on which indicates she was intending to pull over eventually, but the maniac still uses PIT to crash her anyways. It's a miracle this poor woman and her unborn baby weren't killed.
The scariest part of all is this lunatic is still with the force apparently. Says a lot about how much the State Police cares about the safety of citizens if they're willing to let something like this get swept under the rug, while letting a maniac keep his job and continue to pull shit like this (until he inevitably kills some innocent person).

Okay then, should I just stop in the middle of the freeway then Officer?
I'm being serious. If trying to find a safe spot to stop is considered fleeing by cops then I might as well just stop where I am and let the cop deal with trying to dodge 75+ mph traffic.

It's pretty clear she wasn't trying to outrun him or anything, that escalation was completely unnecessary and life-threatening. Absolutely ridiculous. Cop should lose his badge (or face jail time) but nothing will come of it, I'm guessing. The amount you can get away with before facing any repercussions as a cop is crazy.
I just love how she is trying to follow the law and the police statement says even though she was following the law she wasn't doing it good enough so the Cop was okay to PIT her and flip her car.
Watching the video she indicated she was pulling over and slowing down. Hopefully she wins her case.

What he quoted is why people have successfully fought tickets given by speeding cameras in the past.
Because they have to, thank the police unions. States have sold their souls if you will to them.
I can't really find the words to properly express how livid I am that absolutely nothing will happen to this guy. The people of Arkansas should be pissed off as well knowing their tax dollars are gonna go to fix his errors instead of his own pocket. I feel so utterly powerless when it comes to changing this stupid culture we have grown to accept in America.
Beyond fucked up. I hope this woman is ok.

Yes. And if he gets railed by a semi going 80mph, that's his problem.
I wonder what cops would do if people started stopping ASAP in the middle of the street in response to this video? Probably charge with reckless driving and violently arrest/beat/kill you because they thought you were being "clever."
This is terrifying. Once when I was much younger and got pulled over I drove a bit farther to get somewhere safe and I remember the cop blaring his horn. He was seriously pissed when I talked to him. Tried telling him he was asking me to pull over on a blind corner… guess I should feel lucky he didn't attempt to flip my vehicle? Insane.
So I assume the baby survived, right? Because holy shit, if she had lost the baby because of this… That's the kind of stuff that scars you for life.
Arizona was probably doing the same shit my city in Texas was, using outsourced cams and the tickets were coming from out of the State. I think more States would have been ok with it if it wasn't just some out of State private company issuing tickets under the authority of another State's local county but cities wanted the revenue but didn't want to have to build and man the infrastructure themselves.
