d. And I roll up almost at an intersection, where there is a cop car with its lights flashing stopped . The cop is across the intersection, and I just stopped to give him some room when the cop appears from in front of his cruiser wrestling with another man. The cop is obviously trying to get a hold of the man and tackle him, but every time the guy out maneuvers the officer and sheds an item of clothing in the process. This happened several times, leaving an assortment of shirts and sweatshirts strewn across the intersection, leaving a trail behind a rapidly escaping man down the street.

A car comes whizzing by of the right of me, stops, and outsprings a plainclothes officer trailblazing after his comrade and the suspect.



A lesser man would have pulled out his service weapon and blown the suspect away at the first sign of physical contact. This hero was engaging in an active scuffle, alone*, trying to apprehend a suspect. I tip my hat to thee, sir.





* I totally would have helped him out if things had gotten too far out of hand.

^ ^part of the reason I hung around so long was they were running around in the intersection....blocking every escape route except backing up

Was the perp black? If so, you were smart to stay out of it. As the first black guy on the scene, the cop would have most assuredly shot you dead

you should have filmed it vertically on your phone and uploaded it to worldstar

I don't think the suspect's race is important to the telling of this event.

I can prove this didn't happen. Every time the police arrest or detain someone there are no less than 17 cell phones recording the event from every angle. You could do a matrix like movie with collected footage. So where's the potato-quality vertical video?
