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]
VIDEO AT LINK..................
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.
“She repeatedly ignored the cop’s commands to get on the ground.............”
They had her pegged for an NPC by that time.
Most I found were news reports and blurred out a lot.
Well as Rush used to say, “stupid people don’t know they’re stupid”.

Chris Rock had some good tips on How Not to Get Your Ass Kicked by the Police.
I watched the video with the sound off...
Perhaps I should watch it again with sound on?
But, thank you for the response, and for being polite 😊
I wonder just how stoned that idiot girl was. She seemed oblivious to the gravity of the situation and its impact on her future.
The driver (Woman) is damn lucky.
I did “act/react” at the FBI Citizens Academy. You go into a building where they have a video display on the wall with a guy operating things. On each side of him are Sigs connected to air hoses and electronics. When the scenario starts you have to react to it. In my case it was a bank robbery. As soon as you elevate the pistol towards the screen the system knows it and the situation can change. As soon as I pointed the gun up the “robbers” turned towards me. I “shot” one between the eyes. Total luck but the SWAT guys watching loved it.
Overall, most people shot and killed the “good guys”.
At the end of it we got to shoot machine guns. That was fun!
“Prior felonies? Serious warrants?”
I watch a youtube of the Sheriff and other cops driving around town. Lots of times they’ll see a small infraction and pull them over to see if any warrants pop up for them. If not they let them go with a warning.
yup..
Really??????
I saw the Netflix thing about him.
Very interesting!
Swerving and initiating a traffic stop with an armed thug biker boyfriend in the passenger seat seems kinda odd.
Always sad to see a life go like that, even if it is a bad guy.

Sad? Maybe for his mother, but for me, and I suspect for most normal people, it was a joy to watch that basta*d take his last breath!
