Filed under: Caught on Tape, You Fools!
Cops Ram SuspectHere you will see a police cruiser chasing a suspect, who is running down the middle of the road. They proceed to plow into the guy at a high rate of speed, pitching him into into some grass next to the road. And though don't hear it here, the driver, Lance Cpl. Steven C. Garren,
was apparently caught on another tape saying "Yeah, I hit him. I was trying to hit him," to another trooper.

Cop vs. Skateboarder
A Baltimore police officer lost it when talking to a kid who was skateboarding in Inner Harbor with his friends. Don't call him "dude" unless you want to spend the night in juvenile detention. See cop's tirade.

Britney's Hit and Run
While attempting to park her car, Britney accidentally hit a station wagon. She then got out of her Mercedes, checked her bumper for scratches and ... walked away without even glancing at the other car. Too bad the swarm of paparazzi caught it all on tape, and Britney eventually paid the consequences. Watch it.

16. what was the police supposed to do , let the guy get away to do another day what he had just done that made him run from the police. if you don't break the law you don't have to run from the police.crime is getting ridiculous, and i think the policeneed less grief and more support. i live in jax. fl. and there has been ,i think six or seven police involved schooting, one was a eighteen year old non caucasean{p.c. enoughforya} that wasfleeing a mall with a stolen pair of jeans, while the officer was chasing him the kid turned around with a glock 45 and shot the officer six times, once in the leg four times in the chest, thank god for the vest and once in the face. the officer survived the suspect did not. so i say yea more power to the police actually doing their job and god be with you.

17. "To serve and protect political correctness" should be the motto. Nice to see some actual law enforcement taking place in America.

19. D.J., the only idiot is you. When you mature you will underestand what it is like to work under the constraits and policies that police officer's do every day. He did what he had to do to bring the situation to a quick end. (Unless you count the 3 hours of paperwork he has to do after this!) What would you say if he didn't ram the guy and let him run into a nearby house, hopefully yours, then had a shootout with the cops and one of your family members were shot and killed? Then you would be on the other side of the fence saying the cops don't do their job! Again, the only idiot he is you. Wake up and smell the roses. If you think law enforcement needs to be changed, then step up, pin on a badge, strap on a gun and change it.

22. Cops break more laws than anybody and consistently get away with it! They cover up for other bad cops, write bogus tix to innocent people, harass the general public, and wonder why we hate their guts! They think they're better than everyone else and above the law. This is another example of a scumbag cop who thinks he's judge and jury. He should be fired immediately.

23. Don't run - Don'r get hit! If the creep weren't guilty of something he wouldn't be eluding and fleeing. I personally hate the cops. In general, they are badge happy creeps. But, I have to commend this officer for this capture. Well done.

24. The cop did nothing wrong in this video...If the idiots who have something against the police would watch the video they would see that the suspect turned right into the path of the car...If they want to complain about what the cop did they are really stupid...The dumb A$$ suspect new the car was behind him and should have ran in the opposite direction. This will blow up because some idiot will bring race into the situation.

25. This kind of behavior in our police officers is absolutely ridiculous. Departments need to start standing up and paying attention to cops using absurd and unwarranted force and Gestapo like tactics on the civilians...
Every cop has to go through a psychiatric evaluation to get onto the force... It's time that the testing gets harder and continues annually for existing officers. Too many people become cops because they enjoy the power trip, not because they want to "Serve and Protect."
The cop in the video should be fired, and charged with assault.

26. AS A YOUNG MAN I WAS DRIVING A DIRT BIKE ILLEGALLY ON A SIDE STREET,WHEN A COP STARTED TO CHASE ME. I WAS HEADED BACK TO THE WOODS,BEFORE I MADE IT I WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND FROM THE CRUISER AND CRASHED. I WAS CHARGED WITH DRIVING AN UNREGISTERD MOTOR VEHICHLE. THE POINT IS I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR CRIPPLED VERY EASILY SHOULD A TEENAGER BE RUN DOWN FOR BEEING STUPID,DOES THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE CRIME.
