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?

It’s funny how Antifa types are atheists who hate religion but every time something goes wrong when they are around they all start screaming....
Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!
Every time....
K, thanks.

Did you hear/feel a thump? I absolutely did not hear or feel a thump.
“They’re in the cop car. They’re in the cop car”
Can be clearly heard in one of the close up videos.
You’re welcome.
Idiots.
Don’t play in the street, don’t illegal road race, don’t block and aggress police vehicles....and you won’t get smushed.
Antifa idiots, take note!
Rioting and playing in traffic is risky business.
Love the bump-bump part.
I just don’t believe in Special Rights, and if they are going to Prosecute Regular Citizens in Fear for their Life by a Mob of Angry Peaceful Protesters surrounding their vehicle and threatening them, then they need to Prosecute EVERYONE that does the Same.
NO SPECIAL RIGHTS, NO SPECIAL LAWS FOR SPECIAL PEOPLE,
see “The Law” by Bastiat
I agree.
I would have run over rioters beating and breaking into my car.
Fear for your life is a perfect defense for deadly use of force.
Antifa are mobile speed bumps.
Antifa needs to learn not to play in the streets bad things happen.
Stupid should hurt. That’s how you learn to NOT be stupid.
This is not antifa’s M.O. I doubt many of them have cars and really doubt that any of them have muscle cars capable of sustained burnouts. But they’ll sure use this incident to do their usual if they can. Tacoma is NOT Seattle or Portland.
Like that guy in Charlotte?🤔
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I have a hard time finding even the tiniest bit of sympathy for the protesters who were closing in on the officer.
Not gonna give twitter a hit, but this would be very entertaining.
Just out jogging in the middle of the road.
