An absolutely heart stopping video. It should be a reminder to take all car stops seriously and with maximum caution. From Montana. This can happen anywhere, though. So....be careful. Hamilton Police Shooting Video

An absolutely heart stopping video. It should be a reminder to take all car stops seriously and with maximum caution. From Montana. This can happen anywhere, though. So....be careful. Hamilton Police Shooting Video"Heart-stopping" is seriously accurate. Yes, this video is chilling. For the officer shown, the car stop was close to permanently chilling. This is precisely the kind of trauma - and repeated trauma, and retained trauma, and cumulative trauma - that is addressed by programs such as offered by www.BadgeOfLife.com Taken from their website: The ANNUAL, VOLUNTARY MENTAL HEALTH CHECK takes the focus away from “just suicide" and begins targeting “mental health for all police officers.” It is preventive self care at its best for one of the world's highest stress occupations. The mental health checks are one part of our "Emotional Self Care (ESC) training" for police officers that is a vital extension of the Peer Support Officer's roles and responsibilities. A therapy visit gives an opportunity to explore and discuss all the things that are ignored at the doughnut shop. This is the opportunity to 1. Examine the past year. Discuss events that may have been painful or even traumatic (but missed). 2. Look for vulnerabilities. 3. Consider learning opportunities from the year's experiences. 4. Talk about fears and insecurities. 5. Open the door to family issues and further therapy. For more information or referrals, BluePriders are invited to send me a PM.

Well, yes, that is one approach a police chase might use. OR, here is slightly different methodology...

We need more citizens like this woman. The cop should've shot the guy if had the chance. It would've been totally justified.

isn't it sad that a lot of people go through life unfazed by stuff like this! Look at how many motorists passed on by!!!
That is why that every time I see the red and blue I slow down, move over a lane and also check to see if the officer is okay. I will be the first one to jump in if another officer needs help.

Where's the response?? Why did it take so long? Why was the guy behind the desk alone? Why was the prisoner uncuffed? Why was that door opened? So many questions but a good job by the guy behind the desk, although alone. Potential for tragedy there......

This video made me mad...
SO I am looking on Youtube for videos of MN police in action, why? I have nothing better to do. I come across this video and cannot help but be mad at the arrogant film crew who think they know everything and are extra special because they are a film crew.
One would think, especially during the RNC, that shooting film while in a moving vehicle is suspicious. As the officer states, film crews TYPICALLY stop in front of the command center and take footage, instead of rolling by and taking footage while on the move.
Also, the people gripe because the officer didn't give them his name and badge number when they didn't necessarily request so. The officer implied that he could give it to them, but they never requested it. The persons also thought that an officer has to give a reason first for why the driver was pulled over. To my current knowledge, there is no law stating that an officer must give reason for pulling someone over right away. Each department is different. The officer first investigated if this film crew was legit or not. He did his job and the media wants to villify him for doing so...
People and their ignorance and arrogance piss me off...argh!!!! Well onward and upward I guess....

This video is typical of those self appointed critics of Police who either outrightly bait cops or seize opportunities to attempt to vilify them. This Officer was firm but fair with these people. That is 100% clear and he was perfectly within his rights and duties in stopping them. I find it interesting that the tape was heavily edited. You have to wonder what these know-it-alls left out. The woman outside the vehicle was obviously wrong in what she said about the Officer having to provide certain information up front. Again, know-it-all behavior while not knowing anything.
The Officer did well in dealing with these mopes. Professional, firm, fair and bait resistant. For the most part, we've all dealt with people like these, who think they're better than the Cops. The world would be better off without people like these.
