TOLEDO, OH (WTVG) -- A never-before-seen police dash cam video was shown in court today in the trial of an Ottawa Hills police officer accused of shooting and paralyzing a man during a traffic stop.


The video shows Officer Thomas White following Michael McCloskey and his friends on their Harleys. At one point, McCloskey takes off at a high rate of speed. Officer White hits his siren and McCloskey stops his bike.

Wow! If that truly is the case, the cop deserves to go away for a long time! The biker didn't appear to be doing anything suspicious, but I guess the cop thought something was up. That is terrible! The guy just looked back, and then the cop shot him.

whats fucked up is watching hte cop look at the dude while the bike is still on his leg paralyzed and his buddy comes over and gets the bike off him! Fuck I wanna kick the shit outta a cop for this now!

 

[bikrboy128]

the pathetic thing is, the cop is going to walk.

 

[1quick]

I hope he gets beat to death if they do let him off on this

 

[BoostedK20]

thats fucked up.

That cop should be charged with attempted murder, not assault. This is a clear cut case of a cop using excessive force. It's all on video tape for the jury and hopefully they do the right thing.

I didn't even see him move and he got shot, like out of nowhere. he did turn around and look at him, I guess it may have startled the cop though. I guess if your going to get pulled over keep your hands on the wheel. Why did the bikers keep speeding after he hit the siren though?

 

[blakbearddelite]

It looked like they were trying to get away. The one moron jumped a curb. Running away still doesn't warrant getting shot. But maybe it made the cop more nervous because he thought they had something to hide. He just used poor judgement. Shooting someone in the back makes things even worse. What could the guy have done with his back facing you?

Whoa! totally fucked up situation.

 

[Burtonrider10022]

welp, he's going to jail.

That is just fucked up.
So the guys on the bike pull away fast. Did they pass the speed limit before he turned the lights on?
The cop thinks he had a gun so i can understand pulling the gun out but pulling the trigger?
I guess from now on i should keep my hands on top of the steering wheel and not try to get my wallet out of my jacket pocket ready for fear of getting shot.

Probably thought he was Mr Smith and shoot from the arm pit

Maybe noise pollution depending what time it was? Either way :thumbsdown:

this is horrible. Another example of a person thinking they have more power than they actually do just because they are a police officer

 

[transmaxed]

the pathetic thing is, the cop is going to walk.

sadly... this.

 

[Burtonrider10022]

no fucking way that cop will walk with this video


<--- works for a police department

The worst part is that stuff like this happens all the time.

 

[Burtonrider10022]

but rarely is it caught on camera. i agree though, its terrible.

1 thing to remember through this, in the united states there are MILLIONS of police officers, and even if there are 1,000 bad cops per state, there are still only 52,000 bad cops out of those millions, so dont lump cops into this big pile, they are people too, and just like every job, some of them are assholes.

The problem is that too many cops over react. tase an old woman or shoot a guy in the back as a result.

 

[bluzohh6]

which should never happen. It is a dangerous job, but they aren't in a war zone, no need to have an itchy trigger finger. And the other thing is, not every cop is the most intelligent person in the world. I think it should be a requirement for them to have over a certain IQ, or score xx points on their ACT SAT's. Not just some Bumpkin thats fresh out of the military and can't find a job doing anything else so they decide to be a cop somewhere.

 

[YoushallgoFo]

Well I don't think ACT scores have much to do with judgement. Some people just let the power go to their heads. You stick a title on some people and they'll feel like they're simply better than you. Cops just need to cool it sometimes, and I'm sure there are many officers that do understand this. Just not all of them, like this guy.

 

[Burtonrider10022]

all true, including the IQ requirments, it would be nice, but people would just say its unfair and bitch till they got a job because of a discrimination lawsuit.
