Dashcam footage captured the horrifying moment two police officers drew their guns on a husband and wife after pulling them over while they were rushing to the hospital to give birth.
James Reiner was driving his wife Dana to the hospital after her water broke in January 2012 in Hebron, Indiana when they passed a police car that suddenly turned on its lights and pulled them over, despite the fact that they were not speeding.
That is when James got out to tell Sgt. Anthony Dandurand that his wife was pregnant and they needed to get to the hospital. He responded by cuffing the man on the ground while another officer, Travis Thomas, held a gun on James.
Dana then tried to show the men that her waters had indeed broken - and they pointed a gun directly at her belly and yelled at her to 'get back in the fu**ing car.'

Dana was eventually picked up at the scene by an ambulance and taken to the hospital where she gave birth just minutes later according to an interview she did with The Times of Northwest Indiana.

A U.S. District magistrate agreed with Dana in July 2014, when he ruled that the officers had absolutely no right to detain the couple after learning Dana was in pregnant, let alone take James to jail.

And the men not only violated the constitutional rights of the Reiners as a judge later declared, but they also can be heard on the dashcam video six minutes into the arrest saying they will delete the video.

Ping.
Pigs. The 75% of cops who are scumbags really make the rest of them look bad.
Well, Hey, at least the cops got to go home safe after their shift. That’s what it’s all about.
/s
Not fair. It’s like most professions. Always some bad apples to make the rest look bad.
What the hell were these guys thinking? Or smoking?
At the very least, the cops need to pick up the ambulance tab out of their own pocket. Any decent cops would've put on their lights and asked them to follow the squad car to the hospital.
where exactly did you get the 75% figure? out of your ass or thin air?
The Daily Mail doing the jobs that American newspapers refuse to do.
Back in my younger days, I believed that the police were your friend. In fact, I even taught my children, do not be afraid of the police. The police are your friends. And at that day and time, they were.
How things have changed! Just based on my interaction[s] with them and I have violated no law, I now advise my grandchildren to avoid all contact with them that is possible.

sorry for screaming
Alright now is the time for all you FR boot licking cop lovers to tell us how all these daily instances of police brutality are just a few bad cops.
Exactly, Id say its far closer to 99.9%.
What is wrong with these people? They should be thankful we did not shoot them, and yet they are complaining. Man, they just don’t know how tough this job is.
People in America are wising up, if the opportunity arises they won’t call the police, they will administer frontier justice.
Backhoes are selling very well in recent years.
And where exactly in my history did I ever state that O holier than thou imbecile who just spouts out idiocy? Why dont you just chill out you muppet. Go back to biking on a 3 wheel with tassels...
“Always some bad apples to make the rest look bad.”
Yeah, except in most professions the bad apples don’t carry guns and have the ability to deprive the rest of us of our liberties. Also, in most professions the good apples don’t cover for the bad apples out of some misguided sense of loyalty.
