Er gaat vandaag een video rond van een paar staatstroepen die probeerden een man aan de kant van de snelweg te arresteren en het ging vreselijk mis:
A video is going around today of a couple of state troopers who were trying to arrest a man on the side of the interstate and it went horribly wrong: https://t.co/sK9ERz7lWW pic.twitter.com/2dlWsz96Co

Deze video is niet van dit jaar of zelfs vorig jaar. Het komt uit 2017. Maar gezien de tijd waarin we leven waarin mensen de politie meer dan ooit haten, lijkt deze video een goede herinnering aan waar politieagenten dagelijks mee te maken hebben.
Volgens de videobeschrijving werd één officier vier keer neergeschoten, maar slaagde er op de een of andere manier in om te overleven:
State Police have released dramatic dashcam video of the shootout on Route 33 that seriously injured Pennsylvania State Trooper Seth Kelly in 2017. The suspect Daniel Clary was convicted of attempted murder in May. In November 2017, State Trooper Ryan Seiple made what was supposed to be a routine traffic stop on Route 33 in Plainfield Township, Northampton County. Dashcam video shows Clary getting a ticket for speeding, but as the trooper begins to pull away, Clary flags him down again. Trooper Sieple called for backup and the video shows Sieple and Trooper Seth Kelly putting Clary through a sobriety test. The video shows Clary unstable on his feet during several tests. When the troopers try to arrest Clary, he resists and they wrestle him to the ground. Clary attempts to fight back. At one point, the fight spills out onto the road with traffic driving by. Police tried to use a taser on Clary but he gets up and reaches into the driver’s side window of his car. The video shows Clary firing the gun multiple times at both Trooper Sieple and Trooper Kelly. Both officers return fire and Clary drives away.Trooper Kelly was shot four times during the exchange of gunfire Nov 7, 2017, on the side of Route 33 in Plainfiield Township. He arrived at a local hospital clinically dead. He spent 12 days in a medically-induced coma and 25 days in the hospital. He doesn’t remember the shootout. Houck showed jurors the 45-mintue video of the traffic stop, the struggle and its aftermath. Houck believes he could have suppressed its release. But he and the troopers believe it’s important that the public should view the video to see just how dangerous police work can be and to see the restraint employed by the troopers before they were forced to open fire. “We think the community should see it,” Houck said. Clary, 22, of Effort, Pa., was convicted June 29 of multiple felonies, including attempting to kill Seiple and Kelly. His attorney argued at trial he was scared and shot at the troopers because he feared for his life. Clary will be sentenced Aug. 31.
Het is vreselijk waar deze agenten mee te maken hebben. Een routinematige verkeersstop verandert in een nachtmerriescenario waarbij een kantoor bijna zijn eigen leven verloor.
In een niet-gerelateerde video, en deze is van vandaag, een politieagent die op een recente ochtend aan het werk was, gestopt door McDonalds voor het ontbijt. Ze kreeg nooit haar ontbijt na lang wachten, en het liet haar in tranen over de manier waarop ze werd behandeld, alleen omdat ze een agent was:
Stacey who has been a cop for 15 yrs went to @McDonalds She paid for it in advance and this is how she gets treated for being a cop😢😡 Come on America. We are better than this.https://t.co/sK9ERz7lWW pic.twitter.com/VVduw2T6yo
