He did get a little bump, and failed to pull over after causing the collision. The driver who recorded the video had to call 911 to report an accident lol.

This dude wasn't driving like a pro either. Video taping a good portion of the incident. It looked like he was tailgating both the cop and van pretty good. It might be my phone to where I couldn't see his speed but it also felt like he opened it up more than the 10mph he said he did. All that said the cop obviously shouldn't have done what he did. Something just doesn't feel right about this video there may be more than what's shown here.

Completely agree. He was tailgaiting both the cop and the van. He didnt use any turn signals and he cut the van off when he passed it. He definitely opened it up more than 10a mph. If he was doing 50 he definitely was up to atleast 75 when passjng and then maybe 60 after getting back in front of cop. The cop definitely sped up after crossing the bridge night have been doing 50 on bridge he was doing more than that off the bridge. Maybe the cop was just trying to slow him down so he didnt blow that engine up. Wth was that. Also i never saw his speedometer.

Officer resigned according to the news.

I agree the civilian driver was definitely a tool bag who probably made the situation, but the cops actions were completely unprofessional and reckless. He definitely doesn't have the stability to handle his authority.

Nah. I'm guessing the officer was doing under the speed limit in the left lane and the jackass in the van was scared to death to go by him. There was probably a line of cars backed up cause everyone saw a cop car and got scared. Reminds me of the Larry the Cable guy bit about the trooper being the interstate pace car.

I hate that when people won't pass a cop. Happens in OHIO all the time. Ask spareparts.

I won't speed to pass a cop, but if they are driving under the speed limit I don't have a problem with passing them at the speed limit.

Doesn't matter what happened prior to what we see in the video, the officer obviously let his emotions take over. And, he broke the law in the process. This video is one of the many reasons why people are losing respect for law enforcement. How are people supposed to be expected to obey laws when the people that enforce the laws don't.

Two things that frustrate me about this whole situation:
1. The cop only got a citation and not a ticket. The 'professional courtesy' that's extended to police officers these days is senseless. As someone who is supposed to be enforcing the law, you should be held to a HIGHER standard for breaking it. Not getting a slap on the wrist.

2. The cop should have been fired immediately and not give the opportunity to resign. Unfortunately, he'll probably be back behind the badge again one day.

Me thinks he needs a new whatever so a wreck might get him one! One rough sounding engine.

Swoop and squat.

One youtube comment: To protect and swerve.

Great job by that asshat cop, ruining a whole profession's reputation one cop at a time

[SpecOps Cock]

Yes, good job at driving dangerously, putting other drivers at risk, all to satisfy his power trippin' ego.
