A Tacoma police cruiser ran over a person Saturday night after responding to a reported street racing incident in the South 900 Block of Pacific Avenue.
Tacoma police spokeswoman, Officer Wendy Haddow, said the agency started receiving calls at 6:19 p.m. that a car was driving erratically and there were reports of street racing in the area.
The patrol car, surrounded by groups of shouting people, revs its engine and suddenly surges forward, striking the group and running over at least one individual before driving on.
The police officer was responding to calls of illegal street racing with obligatory doughnut burnouts in intersections. The incident was captured on multiple cell phone cameras. You can see the SUV in the street with 20-30 people surrounding it. At one point the officer evidently becomes concerned with his own safety and hits the gas, plowing through about a dozen or so people to escape. One person is all the way under the car and you can clearly see the back tires run over him.
WARNING! POTENTIALLY DISTURBING VIDEOS! Videos below:
One streamer is exclaiming that people were getting into the cop car:
Another angle of the accident:
While the police officer did this to save his own life this is officially considered a use of deadly force, the Pierce County Investigation Team is taking lead on the incident.
The Puyallup Police Department is the one doing the investigation. Captain Dan Pashon provided updates late into the evening on the investigation.
As always this encouraged Antifa to mobilize and raise their flag on the streets as Andy Ngo reported:
Will Antifa try and create more chaos on the street ins the coming days?

I’m betting it was a set up to begin with, with AntiFa scum mobbing the cop in his car hoping he’d react.
Antifa = Democrat’s Mercenaries
Wait... the cop ran over an idea?
yup
It looks like a simple case of differing opinions to me.
That is what you are supposed to do when surrounded by questionable people shouting at you menacingly - drive slowly and then gun the engine to get the hell out of there.
The idea is to NOT be a sitting duck.
Is the Police Officer going to be CHARGED like Regular Citizens are for this??
Live in Tacoma.
Everyone has been complaining about the massive increase in street racing.
Incident is 20 blocks from the school my wife commutea to on bike. About 3 miles from home. Pretty rough part of town, with lots of SNAP, Section 8, weed stores, and a casino.
Peaceful protest. What will it take for the enemedia to actually report this. I hate to say this but I hope Antifa/BLM burn it to ground but they’d still report peacefully protesting.
Any non-twatter links?
I don’t give commies my eyeballs and cash.....
I will enjoy watching ANTIFA and Washington’s Democrat government battle it out.
The people should rise up and do something.
They won’t, but they should.
If it weren’t for twatter, ‘USA Conservative’ wouldn’t have her many blogs.
Yeah, but someone said these people were mostly Mexican. I did see one Mexican flag on a white mustang, but everyone on the ground was wearing black clothes, so who knows if there weren’t Pantifa losers there as well?
Cop should have backed up and ran over them some more.
Apparently AnTifa didn’t get the memo I reckoned...the Destructive left-wing rat base aka snowflake antifa don’t know how to read...but here let me throw you a clue. Your beloved candidate Beijing cheating Joe is president now. Now stop it!
Whoops. This is our hollowed out downtown, not the East Side.
Well. eyeamok, I believe you would prefer that the Officer stayed in place, let the crowd break
into his/her vehicle, and get dragged into the street where street justice would have been employed,
Reginald Denny style.
Or, were you making a different observation?
This is what the Dems get when they use Brownshirts against their ‘enemies’.
But the difference will be that the Dems will send in the Guard or whoever, spill a lot of blood, and have it all covered up by the media, unless they can find a way to blame it on our side.
If you look at some of the other videos, there is Mexican music being played in the back ground.
