George Floyd Vibes – Nashville Police Have Released Video Footage Of A Shootout That Injured An Officer And Killed A Black Woman

Metro Police have released body cam and dash footage of a deadly shootout Friday morning involving a Metro officer and a woman. Officer Josh Baker is recovering at a Nashville hospital and is in stable condition. The woman, 31-year-old woman Nika Holbert, has died.

According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, the shooting took place in the parking lot at Dollar General on Brick Church Pike and Ewing Drive at about 9:30 this morning.

East Precinct Officer Josh Baker, a 14-year Metro police veteran and field training officer, was shot and is in stable condition after undergoing surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Metro police tweeted.

MNPD spokesperson Don Aaron said at a news conference after the shooting that Baker, a legacy officer whose father, Danny Baker, was a commander of the East Precinct at one time, stopped Nika Holbert, 31, after a plate check on the black Chevrolet Camaro she was driving showed its owner had six outstanding warrants for drug-related crimes.

MNPD released a video Friday night that contained video footage of the shooting, both from a body-worn camera and a dashcam.

After the shooting, Holbert drove away and crashed the car nearby. Officers rendered aid before paramedics arrived.

WARNING: The following video may be disturbing to some.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is investigating the case.

So given the fact that the woman was black, we can expect some protests today, after George Floyd shooting every black victim from the police is closely monitored by BLM.

Will this shooting spark a new wave of protests?

This is insane. Either we find a way to live in harmony with law enforcement or we let society devolve into one ruled by criminals.

This is why I avoid THEM at all costs. It’s a shame the bad ONES poison society, but until the good ONES stand up in mass and denounce these BUMS, I will continue to AVOID.

“Some. Not me.”

I’m deeply disturbed by the physical condition of the officer. I can’t believe there are no fitness requirements in that PD.

That’s crazy. He tased her I don’t know how many times and she still managed to shoot him. He’s damn lucky she didn’t run him over.

How soon will her relatives start the “Pay us off or we’ll burn the city to the ground” thing?

I no longer care and have very little sympathy for the police anyway because they’ve been given orders to target law-abiding Americans.

The car she was driving was owned by someone with drug warrants outstanding. A legitimate reason to stop it.Assuming she fired first...or drew her gun first...her death is 1000% justified.

But we can be sure that her family will be invited to DC by Plugs (or,more likely,by Heels Up) and they'll also get a $100 million settlement from the City of Nashville.

Since Antifa and BLM have yet to be punished for billions of $$ of damage and ~20 confirmed deaths/murders; I think it is safe to say that this society has opted for your second choice. Which is why my wife and I are now armed and ready to defend our household by any means necessary — which is exactly why the Founders put that 2nd amendment in there as a right of any human — not something granted by some government.

The taser barbs inadequately positioned on her body to incapacitate her, so he pulled the used taser head from the taser gun and applied the stun-gun function, which failed to totally incapacitate her, since she was able to get her gun.

Officer made many mistakes in this stop which eventually allowed the woman to get a gun from the car and shoot him under his body armor..

I can see no impressions in the skin tight shirt that he was wearing body armor/bullet proof vest.

Female suspect ... slow down and get backup NOW and need a female officer.

He should have closed the car door once she was out.

Once he had evidence to arrest her he should have been able to physically handle and cuff her for his and her safety.

Number one.... he was not physically able to be on patrol or even an officer. His father had been an officer for many years... may have had something to do him being in uniform.

It is a textbook train video on what NOT to do in a stop.

The problem is that the police have accepted those orders from a kneeling position.

Sorry 100% justified shooting

Found possessing 2 illegal drugs while in a felons car.
She resisted an officers command to stop.
Attempted to flee
Was tasered and still resisted cooperating with the cop
Drew a handgun from a felons car (wanna bet she didn’t have a conceal carry?)
Officer told her to put the gun down. She shot first hitting the cop.
Officer returned fire
She fled the scene and eventually ran off the road.

Sorry being black with blackattude does not make you above the law.
