A Tacoma police officer whose SUV was surrounded by a crowd was seen on camera running over a pedestrian Saturday night. The incident was captured on camera and distributed on social media. Tacoma police officer Wendy Haddow said officers were called to Ninth South and Pacific where cars were blocking the intersection and doing burnouts and doughnuts. A crowd of about 100 people had gathered to watch.
A Tacoma police officer who arrived soon found himself surrounded by people who were banging on the windows and SUV in a threatening way, Haddow said. Some of the SUV’s windows may have been broken.
As the officer tried to move out of the crowd, he backed up, but was unable to get out, so he drove forward. Haddow said she believed one person fell as the SUV moved forward and was run over. She said one person was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.
Video posted to Twitter showed a person under the police SUV as it drove away.

Cop rolls up and they surround the SUV. Bang on it. He takes off.
Some people - who weren’t AntiFa and weren’t protesting and were all at a hot dog stand having a hot dog - did something
A pedestrian shopping for old ladies staying home because of Covid....very .sad. /s

Yeah, and the powers that be can use that facial recognition
software made so famous in Washington, D. C. recently.
As if...
You can’t keep cops away from doughnuts.
civilians that feel threatened, or are threatened, and take off and hit someone after a crowd is smashing their vehicle, , are charged with crimes-
Heh, heh. Like moths to a light bulb.
The notorious Cherry Street clog burglar has met his maker.
He will steal clogs no more.
Poorly done headline.
For me it said that a pedestrian was surrounded by a crowd after being run over.
Google is endorsing Brownshirts with this reporting.
Nazi Germany is forming right before our eyes.
Dafuq. Did you even read the story?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
“... cars were blocking the intersection and doing burnouts and doughnuts.”.
Excellent.
Just one officer responded? Did Tacoma already defund its police department?
I don't remember a South Ninth and Pacific. I'm guessing they meant Ninth and South Pacific Ave.
Not exactly a nice area when I lived there 40 years ago. Looks like it hasn't gotten better.
I've decided to get a face shield and blacken everything except eyes. I can wear it everywhere. I can pay cash and not use my reward cards. I can become anonymous. Facial recognition software? I'm wearing sunglasses under the blackened shield. And that beer gut that's hiding my 6 pack abs, well that's actually mine but I haven't heard of any belly recognition software.
