This is how fast things can turn deadly during routine traffic stops

Via Not the Bee

Article Image

Yo, this is a pretty wild video out of Charleston County, South Carolina, and it tells you a whole lot about what police officers are faced with on a daily basis.

This may seem like your everyday traffic stop — the car being pulled over for swerving — however, the man in the passenger seat is a convicted felon, and officers spoke with him for about five minutes before asking him to get out of the vehicle.

Here’s what happened when they did that (I’m going to warn you that while you don’t see blood, the perp gets smoked in this video).

[Warning: Graphic and very loud video incoming]

Man, those two officers are lucky to be alive.

The speed at which they were both able to take cover is just beyond comprehension.

That training sure paid off.

The incident happened in Ravenel shortly before 4:00 p.m. when Deputies Evan Cubbage and Alexander Hodge conducted a traffic stop on a black Crown Victoria…

The suspect, identified as James Pierce (28) of Walterboro, was hit and died at the scene.

Deputy Cubbage was also shot three times.

Always sad to see a life go like that, even if it is a bad guy.

The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office shared the full video on Facebook:

Notice how when asked if there were any firearms in the vehicle the answer was “no.”

Seriously, the police deal with a lot more than we think they do.

So next time you see a protest break out over a man who’s been shot by police, I want you to ask some serious questions about how it happened and what led up to the shooting.

Because it’s not always as simple as what they tell you on CNN.

[T]he deputies involved in the shooting are on paid administrative leave, per protocol. While the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is investigating the deputy-involved shooting, the sheriff’s office said it conducts an internal investigation into all shootings involving its deputies.

I don’t disagree with this rule.

Probably a good rule.

Keep up the good work, boys in blue.

You don’t F with Sheriff’s Departments in SC, especially in the Lowcountry. We split our time near to Downtown Charleston & a Sea Island outside of Beaufort. We feel pretty secure.

Don’t worry about the county between those two – Colleton. Seems there was an interesting trial there earlier this year in its County Seat…Walterboro. Some crooked attorney got life for murdering his wife and son.

She fired up a cigarette while the first 20 shots were fired. Stumps are smarter.

Why was the cop talking to the passenger side occupant?
Is the car a right-sided driving car and is actually the “swerver”?
Why did the donut-dunker ask for ID Before telling the felonious yard Jockey dude of being Charged?

Yep, the only reason they would screw with the passenger is if they were looking for trouble. i.e. a fishing stop. Otherwise their business should have been with the driver only. Unless they had some probably cause that the passenger was commiting a crime.

Cops typically approach on the passenger side when there is heavy traffic on the driver’s side.

And, in this case, it is a strong bet they had an idea they’d need to be in a position to control the individual in the passenger seat.

Mostly what I see in heavy traffic. In Dallas-Fort Worth it would be suicidal to approach on the drivers side. Could be more to the story.

Exactly and why regardless how far from the driving lane if I were a cop I’d approach on the passenger side. No pun intended to goat , it’s just that a cop’s “attention” would be on the driver , you know, the driver may pull a gun on the cop. Eyes on the driver not on approaching traffic. That’s how some cops get run over.

…maybe someone can come up with reasons why the vehicle was stopped other than swerving in my lane.

Off topic I suppose, it never ceases to amaze me driving through Dallas-Fort Worth hell the number of barricades, guardrails , you name it that are smashed , 10′, 20′, 30′, 40′ away from the driving lanes. People are lunatics behind the wheel. Also humorous the number of vehicle parts laying on the sides of the roads (along with Bud Light cans!), Fenders, hoods, tires, wheels, doors, mufflers…holy smokes!

“swerving”

I lived in n.chas for awhile. SR-22 insurance days. not for swerving. or crashing. speed kills, ya know?

so do cops.

& the cops wanted me to live. altruism. papa-figures.

one of ’em, bush-hid, beaming radar, pulled me on a 750 once. out in the middle of nowhere.

“what do you think would happen if you hit one of these trees at the speed you were going,” he asked.

“same thing that would happen if I hit one at the legal speed, ” I said.

Oh yeah. There are not many places in Texas I’ve not driven near at least. Hwy 87 through Texline is a popular route for Texans visiting Colorado. Last I traveled that route was in 2001 headed for Oregon. Better be paying attention is all I can say. I’ve never been stopped going or coming back on 87. Best to be paying attention to the speed limit signs and the sudden drop in speed limits. People coming back from Colorado that are inclined to bring back the legal weed from Colorado…don’t get stopped coming back. Every law enforcement vehicle I saw had the sniffing German Shepherd onboard. Stopping in Dalhart for a stretch and fresh coffee I certainly felt the eyes as if watching my every move.

I remember an incident on I-5 in Southern California — the stretch between San Clemente and Oceanside — that runs through Camp Pendleton. Two CHP stopped a car going southbound and both exited their squad car … and were immediately both gunned down by the occupant(s) of the vehicle they stopped.

You couldn’t look sideways at a LEO in SoCal for the next 6 months … and, in fact, I witnessed a guy being stopped and questioned on a sidewalk in downtown San Diego soon afterward. He reached inside his clothing and the officer brought his night stick down across the guy’s arm — you could her the bones being broken at 50′ … 

For better or for worse, these are the folks that I rely upon to protect me and mine … and while they’re not perfect, they’re better than the feral thugs that have taken over many urban streets — the antifa thugs, the blm thugs, etc.
