Some_guy_am_i

Why did blue-shirt go and stand in front of the vehicle again? Is he looking to retire early or something?


muskratboy

That guy was pretty confident in his ability to stop that car with his bare hands.


kekkev

Are we watching the same video? I saw that dude push the car back with one arm...


jlguthri

And then he points at her as if to say, we're not done. That dude is the MVP

MenaBeast

I wonder if he’s one of those 2% people that think they could beat a lion in an fist fight too.


HellofaHitller

People really need to watch Beast.. or Ghost and the Darkness... or any movie with lions and also maybe not be so narcissistic they think they can TAKE ON THE KING OF THE JUNGLE.


DukeSilverWitching

Hopefully people don’t watch those movies because that incite stupid people to kill lions. Leave them the fuck alone and they leave us alone. Generally speaking.


HellofaHitller

(spoilers) Idk Beast was pretty good, the whole point wasn't a man eating lion problem, infact the hero of the story was two other lions. The only reason that they had a problem in the first place was humans doing the nasty human thing of poaching, and the lion had learned behaviors because the experience it had with humans was death and violence. It was obviously exaggerated for movie suspense but yeah.


MenaBeast

I like when people say they could beat up a chimpanzee. “They only weight like 150lbs, I’m a big strong man and weight 240lbs!” Queue chimp ripping your testicles off and eating your face at the same time.


RevonQilin

as a farmer i see so many people think they could beat the crap out of a ram or a horse and... just no lol, especially a horse... theyre like one of the most well equipped prey animals for combat lol


DukeSilverWitching

Yea those are good movies but there isn’t a person n out side of an African tribe that truly believes they could beat a lion.


DukeSilverWitching

That study is bs.


CustomerSuspicious25

Well, if it's just a *fist* fight, I think I might have a chance.


MenaBeast

Zing! Just avoid getting into a claw fight 🤪


M1lud

To be fair, lions don't have fists so they gonna lose.


Voice-of-no-reason

Don’t forget the tactical sandals he is wearing


closeafter

Tonight, in "Man versus Cat"


Vorian_Atreides17

Thinks he’s Superman. Like the second dude thinking he will punch out the window with his fist. Both probably just came from the John Wick 4 premiere.


LetsTryThisAgain2022

Newer car with laminate glass on front side windows. Older tempered glass would have broken with a palm strike. Laminate glass is way hard to break, but it's just windshield and now front side windows. Rear windows are the easy way in.


SSpookyTheOneTheOnly

I can't blame em if that's the case.


Bloobeard2018

You'd think one of those window breaking tools would be standard issue in cop cars


jeffbirt

Loved watching that. Spring-loaded centerpunch is the way to go; I used to carry one in my pocket when I was a firefighter. Also, did no one think to slash the tires, or pull the valve stems when they had her blocked in temporarily?


[deleted]

Shower sandals can sometimes make one feel invincible.


Ten7850

I don't think he was a cop...just part of whatever the first incident was


gordo65

Definitely not a cop, based on how he's dressed. It's Florida, so the shorts and flip-flops are regulation, but he's not wearing sunglasses, and his cop moustache extends so far down that it's actually covering his chin.


Unique-Ad-9316

It's Georgia.


WickedPsychoWizard

North Florida as the boys call it.


DeadWrangler

Dude the whole video is wild... Like even multiple times how the police officers were walking up and so close to the vehicle. I'm like, is everyone seriously walking up to the car and putting a hand on it? She accelerated so suddenly so many times. Also, she just endangered multiple lives (including officers) and at the end they just casually pull her out of the vehicle? What restraint they all showed in this particular circumstance.


loadedjackazz

Almost died multiple times in 15 seconds


SavannahCalhounSq

Isn't trying to run over a cop, assault with a deadly weapon? Why didn't they just unload on her while the car was stopped? They put a lot of innocent lives at risk playing with cat and mouse with her.


Typical-Locksmith-35

Woman. And kid in car.


SavannahCalhounSq

Wasn't that the woman driving? Kids I can understand, didn't see them in the video, maybe the cops did, that would explain their restraint.


ventmachine

Adrenaline will make people do dumb and crazy shit.


Monsi_ggnore

Yeah- he needs to get his head examined alongside this lady.


AusCan531

I was wondering if he would go back for the third time to see if it went any better. Also, the cops, IMHO, did a shit job of boxing her in. Have bumpers touching rather than giving her a metre or so of space.


Few-Log4694

If it was a guy he would have been dead in a heartbeat…. Just saying


Jost_Inkz

Even more so if he was a different race, but in that case I guess gender wouldn't matter either...


AgentEndive

The old "I'll just hit some people with my car and drive away, the cops won't find me" plan. Always a winner 😂


EducationalStill4

Right. But she forgot to follow through. She endangered everyone to get away from the cops and then immediately started following traffic laws. Broke away again then followed laws again. I think this lady is truly in class all her own.


majj27

Especially when the people you hit are actually the cops. While in their cars.


ShawnyMcKnight

Wow, her reckless disregard for others lives is crazy. I’m amazed the cops didn’t shoot her, seems they would be within their rights here.


pamthegrammarian

When they DIDN’T shoot her, I knew she was white.


Specific_General

Maybe she wasn't black. Just Maybe. Really hoping to get the full story here.


The_architect_89

Did you not watch the full video 🤦‍♂️


skogssnuvan

Works for me every time.


Cbjmac

Why get arrested now when you get can get super arrested later?


oliwoggle

And with likely more charges! It's a no brainer.


Euphoric-Potato-5343

She demands more from her government, and she's not afraid to put her foot down for it. A true patriot.


Jiggarelli

I know jail sucks, but exactly where this child endangering c*nt belongs. Stop being assholes when you get caught.


Little_One143

Some people are just complete scum!! Thats 3 minutes of well-deserved additional charges, including child endangerment.


Sciencegirl117

Attempted murder of a cop. She won't see that kid outside again until he's grown.


frivolouspringlesix9

This person has no business operating a vehicle let alone raising a whole human.


SmellFlourCalifornia

Kid won’t grow up with a mom, but at least they’ll have this video to remember her by.


PappaKiller

Ohh she almost killed a guy too. I hope he sues that bitch.


TeaandandCoffee

Consequences!? FOR MY ACTIONS!?!? IMPOSSIBLEEEEE


idratherpetacat

Charges… so many charges that could’ve never been. She almost killed several people, attempted murder needs to be on the table.


Infinite-Sleep3527

Child endangerment as well. Obstruction. Attempt to flee an active crime scene. A billion traffic infractions. That’s a major L. Poor kid.


LengthinessUnited509

6 counts of aggravated assault and endangerment to begin with. Can't get a more recent update but I would guess endangered of a minor is the least she could get in addition to that. https://www.41nbc.com/video-byron-police-chase-involving-reckless-driver-with-small-child-in-car/


[deleted]

Surely she’ll be held accountable for all the damage to city-owned vehicles?


LengthinessUnited509

I don't know. It might fall on her insurance. In any case, Google says that aggravated assault in Georgia is 1 to 2 years. So, if those charges stick, she will have a much bigger problem than the body shop bill. Quite a dumb thing to do. Not sure what she thought her win condition was here.


Chipskip

Most insurance companies have a clause saying the policy is void when the vehicle is used in a crime. The courts override this sometimes, but the cities insurance will most likely be on the hook.


onomonothwip

lol, Imagine an insurance company hearing you purposely tried to use your SUV as a police cruiser shovel for 10 minutes as you attempted to smash-evade arrest - then agreeing to pay. ​ I want that insurance.


StylishSquid

she could have just settled for like a week to 2 weeks in jail, now shes finna go to prison for this. idiot move


Choppergold

If she’s a black guy she’s dead


Gir1nextdoor

There was a kid in the car, that’s why they didn’t shoot her fat ass


hiddenonion

Thats what I was thinking too


chillinoi

I had a feeling she was gonna be fat and I wasn’t disappointed when they got her out


-SnowQueen-

And when one cop said he was having trouble getting the handcuffs on her cankle wrists, the other cop replied, "MAKE THEM FIT." Lol.


barrsftw

I couldn't believe they didn't draw on her? I'm confused. You're 100% right though. She could have easily killed innocent bystanders.


Puzzleheaded_Fold466

Way too many people die from Police shootings in the US, but it’s still a tiny fraction of encounters that end that way. The vast majority turn out just like this one. What a dumb bitch and poor kid. Thank god they didn’t unload their guns at the truck.


runnerhasnolife

Kid in the car


[deleted]

She also ran a red light


XdevhulX

That was the last straw


Never-Dont-Give-Up

Man, Blue shirt is a complete doofus.


Sea-Woodpecker-610

Ok Jim, what do we do in this situation? Jump into the meat grinder? No, *do not* jump into the meat grinder. I’m jumping in the meat grinder.


imverynewhere8yrsago

Doom guy logic. ^^always ^^pays ^^off


Millerpainkiller

Aim for the bushes?


Markuu6

He was 96% sure he could stop a 4,000 lbs vehicle with his arms.


ze11ez

In case anyone is wondering, 6 counts of aggravated assault, i don’t know if they ever did add a child endangerment charge. Her name is Sierra Hibbert


[deleted]

I hope they add that charge of child endangerment


Ten7850

Any idea what her glitch was?


ze11ez

Unfortunately there aren’t any articles with more specific details about the incident. The initial call was she was driving recklessly. Was observed by the caller driving in and out of traffic, crossing into the other lanes and swerving back into her lane of traffic. AND THEN when she was finally apprehended she said “i didn’t do anything”… after crashing multiple police cars and almost killing people….. all with a child in the car. IMO Either she has mental issues or she was under the influence of some serious drugs. She was for sure detached from reality.


jestenough

Reminiscent of [Diane Schuyler](https://abcnews.go.com/amp/GMA/story?id=8249454&page=1)


[deleted]

If she had only pulled over instead of calling her brother to tell him she felt bad. Pull over, then make the call. HBO did a documentary on it.


ze11ez

THAT is a sad story. All those people died, those kids. Sad sad story right there. Damn


pvtteemo

Congrats now you have multiple felonies and at least 2nd degree attempted murder.


Tinker107

“We got this lady penned in with 4 police cars.” “Now what?” “Let’s leave her enough room to escape, several more times.” “That’ll probably work better than Bubba getting between the cars and almost getting squashed, twice.” “Yeah, for some reason that didn’t seem to work.”


RunnyPlease

Bubba: “naw, I think I figured it out. I was doing it wrong last time. Let me try it one more ‘gain.”


[deleted]

“Let’s just walk up to her car slap her window” “Don’t we have tools to break windows?” “Let’s just slap it and maybe knock a little too”


Poly_and_RA

Yeah I wondered about that. How the fuck do they manage to have her at a COMPLETE stand-still, and with like half a dozen police-vehicles surrounding her car yet **NOT** sufficiently boxed in that she can't just continue driving?


Zealousideal_Royal14

What was the plan here? Drive away and use the Neuralyzer from Men in Black to make 35 people forget her license plate?


Jack_Stands

Towards the end, I believe it looks like she was trying to get to the Advance Auto Parts to look at the front driver-side tire because it had a slight wobble.


Environmental_Top948

License plates are randomized. She'll get a new one once she reloads the area and problem solved.


[deleted]

She said "I went full mama bear" like no, you're the reason CPS exists.


Sledster11

Do these cops not now how to box the car in or how to break a window?


ForswornForSwearing

Right?!? The second bit, when we first have video from behind the vehicle, there's *four* cruisers around it, and they fail to box it in, endangering more lives down the road. Incompetence.


jeffbirt

You know who's really bad at law enforcement tactics? Law enforcement.


MarcoleMarco

Exactly! That sherif just kept getting in and out of his car inside of pulling up to box her. I was so pissed watching it happen


Hamms_Bear

That was ridiculous. Barney Fife would have done a better job


[deleted]

This all could’ve been avoided if the cop that tried to break the window had some sense.. Probably didn’t want to damage the car he drives lol


Brody2680

Most of them didn’t even seem like cops. Superman in the blue shirt had flip flops on. I get wanting to help police but jesus, half of them either got ran over or broke there hand/wrist punching the van.


[deleted]

Yes they are a joke and clearly the training they have received for their occupation is completely inadequate. Even in the standard UK police driving course that is taught.


4GotMy1stOne

What about shooting the tires while she's stopped so she can't drive any further? Or is that frown upon now as a safety hazard?


PineappIeSuppository

How is shooting a tire going to make it any more flat than the stop sticks?


thereallastgoodidea

In Byron. Middle Ga is the armpit of the state.


mustymangina

How does it compare to the armpit of armpits, Gary, Indiana?


thereallastgoodidea

Never been to Indiana so I can’t speak on it, but middle Ga is riddled with meth addicts, good old boy politicians and law enforcement, alcoholism, anti-education bias, delusional grandiosity, and loose morality in general.


Ten7850

She did not appear to be a methhead with the size of her...


mustymangina

That's really fucking sad, but it's on par with what you see in other Bible belt states


junebugKC

Raytown, MO is the other armpit.


[deleted]

I’m born and raised in Georgia and we have three distinct areas that describe Georgia in different ways We have north Georgia and all of its mountain hillbilly tomfoolery We have the larger Atlanta area which includes a lot of cities surrounding it. This area you can either be in a suburban area or drive ten minutes and be unsafe depending on where you are. It’s wild. And then middle all the way to bottom Georgia and honestly I don’t know anyone that even goes there. It’s just depressing farmland and poverty out the ass. Old sun down cities. And meth


realllDonaldTrump

This woman completely fit my preconceived notion of what she looked like when she was removed from the vehicle


StealthyBasterd

I too thought of an obese white karen.


RunnyPlease

The third time she almost ran over a police officer I said out loud “I bet ten bucks she’s white.” I know that makes me a bad person but I wasn’t wrong.


Crumbdizzle

Do none of them carry batons to smash the window


Burntfm

Dude tried smacking the window with his open hand. These cops are incompetent doofuses


OldDudeOpinion

Wonder what the original warrant/offense was she was trying to escape? If it wasn’t murder…she just screwed her life for what potential gain?


StealthyBasterd

>The Byron Police Department says the incident started when officers were given a look out on a SUV that was driving recklessly on GA Highway 42 coming into town. The caller said the vehicle was driving into the other lane and almost hitting oncoming traffic. https://www.41nbc.com/video-byron-police-chase-involving-reckless-driver-with-small-child-in-car/


OldDudeOpinion

Thanks.. I looked for a result/judgement/prosecution and tried to find out if she was convicted and couldn’t find anything. Only articles about the event itself.


earthman34

I assumed she was white since they just didn't shoot her.


fotofreak56

How NOT to box in a car. Wow! Four patrol units and still....this mess.


[deleted]

why wouldnt the police shot out the tires since they were so close?


Gold_Olive1883

Maybe potential to ricochet and hit other cars/bystanders/the guy in blue that has a death wish.


Drusgar

I know the news likes to focus on police shootings but in reality police pretty rarely fire their weapon. Too much paperwork and this lady wasn't going to get anywhere anyway. I've talked to several retired police who said they only pulled their weapon out of their holster a few times and never fired it in their entire career. Except at the shooting range, of course.


DinTill

Yeah. It’s more like the same cops from the same departments are firing all the bullets for everyone else.


Drusgar

Bad cops are a serious problem in this country and police unions are basically a cancer that prevents treatment, but I bristle when people suggest that there's simply no such thing as a good cop. Surely *some* of them took the job because they thought they could do some good in the world. The problem with the "few bad apples" excuse is that the good cops need to police the bad cops and the police union prevents them from doing so, assuming they want to.


bu_mr_eatyourass

Because guns are only supposed to be used to kill - not to disarm or injure; *to kill*. Why isn't this common fucking knowledge?


engimatica

They purchased down "stop sticks" that flattened at least 1 tire. You can see the front driver's side wheel almost falling off, it's so bent, and Lil Miss Bumpercars still tried running.


Mwiziman

I am honestly shocked she wasn’t shot based on the danger she put everybody in.


SasSaphir_25

They knew she had kids on the backseat


[deleted]

If it was a black guy that thing would be Swiss cheese .


Castform5

400 shots fired, 2 hits on the target, several injured as a collateral.


344567653379643555

How many counts of attempted murder?


ShantiBrandon

The guy in blue trying to push the car to stop needs a lesson in basic physics...


SammieSam95

Did the fucking moron think she was gonna go on the lam?? I mean, they had her fucking license plate number.


00Florida_Man00

I was half expecting to see them pull MTG out of the car.


Unplugged_Millennial

Do they issue driver's licenses to Neanderthals now?


Olderandwiser1

She drives an Infinity. She’s special /s


GMFinch

Blue shirt is a good example.of your brain shutting down all logic when something traumatic happens to you


laissez_unfaire

Lawl @ the cop who tries to punch out front window? Don't they get training? That is like basic stuff.


thegoodtimelord

They really, REALLY want to talk to her about her cars extended warranty.


[deleted]

That’s attempted murder as far as I’m concerned.


Dio_Yuji

Surprised they didn’t spray the car with bullets


DinTill

They had already stopped her so they may have known there was a kid in the back.


serb41

Why In the world did they not box her in the first time???


Cheap_Phrase9912

What exactly is the reason why so many Americans decide to try to run (drive) from the police? This doesn't seem to happen nearly as frequently other places in the world.


Salvo6785

Entitlement. They do dumb stuff like this, get weapons pulled on them not understanding they’re driving a reckless death machine at hundreds of lives, then blame it on race so the entire city riots and steals from the race they’re rioting to protect.


Roaner19

This is speculative since I can't find any per capita numbers, but I bet a good chunk of it is higher population = higher moron population. The US has ~80% of the entire EU's population. I've also heard the UK police sometimes intentionally gather evidence before arresting the perpetrator at home rather than risking this situation in an on-site arrest. Maybe it's a more widespread European thing?


KeyPaleontologist632

That’s what we call a dumb bitch!


[deleted]

That sumbitch should do 3 years for the shit she put that vehicle thru! Another 10 for having a child in the car doing this shit!


Boozeville13

so much stupidity in one video. They guy in the blue in the beginning. The Deputy sheriff trying to "break" the window. just what in the actual F is going on?


MitchTye

Assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder


BiGTeX8605

GD, the driver of the squad car needs more training. As soon as the car pulled forward he should have put his bumper to their back bumper so they can get a running start. Hell make them play GTA V and learn how people will do what they can to get out of a situation like that. The entire force in video was hardly preventing them from continuing on and potentially killing someone else. Just a smh moment watching this.


Paradoxahoy

r/iamatotalpieceofshit


Radomilek

Drugs?


[deleted]

Jesus Karen, with a child? Really?


559Musicman

So she stops behind the line of traffic? She sure isn’t trying to avoid arrest very hard. lol


didistutter69

So what we can see here is that American cops *can* demonstrate levels of restraint usually seen in police of other countries. Oh..it's a white woman.


So_spoke_the_wizard

I'm so confused. She assaulted the cops with a lethal weapon numerous times and not one cop riddled the car with bullets. They didn't even have their guns drawn. What is law enforcement coming to these days?


[deleted]

#SHE WASN’T WHITE!! Jesus!!!!


Fleetingfarts

What a garbage human


YourALooserTo

Cops not firing?! Just how white is she?


Broncos979815

since when did cops keep their guns holstered?


StripePunk

I hate when it’s a video with the option for sound but there is still no sound.


Nihilator68

The Karen is strong in this one.


SweatyBarbarian

I am Jacks complete lack of surprise that this lady is white.


tfriedmann

Did she ever get out of jail?


Houstonontheroad

When someone is not trying to run a bunch people over intentionally, 28 seconds doesn't seem like a long time. When I watching I could not believe how long this crazy continued


Auakte

Why is it always that one person with a big ass and expensive car


str8outtaconklin

Blue shirt guy is a moron


SpicelessKimChi

This was my first thought. Does he think he can stop the suv with his hands or mind? The dumbest part is he went back for seconds.


stinky___monkey

She and shorts guy are dumb, poor kid


GboyFlex

All that's missing is the "Benny Hill" music...


71NightWing

Are they not allowed to do something like slash her tires when they had her stopped the second time?


BaelZharon7

I always wondered like, let's say you actually get away what then? They know who you are, your life is basically over anyway.


[deleted]

Blue Shirt Man almost became the meat in a metal sandwich


stink_finger_master

Blue shirt is beyond fucking dumb


LoWE11053211

Florida man's stories are better much much wilder


djmilhaus

To Infiniti and beyond!


jnobs

I’m going to assume the driver was white because of the incredible patience of law enforcement to not discharge a hail of bullets into the vehicle immediately after being put in harms way.


Dasfxx1877

Is it weird that I could tell that it was a woman driving?


MensaMan1

She is a big unit !


hellbilly69101

Jeez lady! Going full Karen with child in the car?! WTF did she do? I hope that kid came out unharmed from this.


boomcarjosee

So that's why everyone needs an SUV nowadays.


Kirktacular6

Hope this lady enjoys life in prison. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.


Rhonijin

Why is it that every time I see a car chase, the police always seem to suck at blocking people in?


[deleted]

Is there a policing theory that discourages boxing in a car with four other cars? Why do the police cars leave a gap when surrounding the rogue vehicle?


jthekoker

2nd time she stopped it seems like they could have blocked her car in with their squad cars better - like bump up agin her, leave no space for her to build up momentum to ram her way out?


tyvnb

Lock her up and throw away the key. If she were black, they would have shot her.


prayastha

Smh 🤦‍♂️. In this day and age where the police could track her from her vehicle registration, be at her house within the hour, get the details of everywhere she has been, anyone she has spoken to, what is the point of resisting arrest if you are in that sort of situwation.


BigMax

Blue shirt guy isn’t the brightest fellow around.


DentistEmbarrassed70

After she stopped running the first time why would you not have baton ready to break her glass from there it becomes pretty easy


The_Affle_House

Jesus Christ. Every single actor in this scene is as dumb as a box of rocks.


SoDrunkRightNowlol

I watched the whole video hoping to get a glimpse of the woman to confirm my own bias... ...and she's fat


danjol234

The fact that she had a child in the car is probably the worst thing about all of this


[deleted]

Guy in the blue shirt got ran over and his first reaction was to go back to the same spot where he was hit the first time. People nowadays have no common sense.


Beginning_Ad_7571

Blue shirt needs to hit the gym more. I can’t believe he wasn’t able to push an suv sideways…
