Asshole. Glad the officer is okay.

Yea no shit. Might as well put flashing lights on it.

Hah I thought the same, they definitely won’t find him.. aka the One of Five white challenger hellcats with an aftermarket intake that have a giant decal on the side in the state of Louisiana. Unless somehow it’s a stolen vehicle?

Don't worry, it all ended well since he was just as brilliant as you'd expect. From the article above-

"McElveen was able to get off the highway and parked the very distinct Dodge Challenger Hellcat with those flashy graphics in a grocery store parking lot. He apparently was inside, we assume grabbing some ingredients for dinner. As he left the store he noticed deputies waiting to arrest him so he made a run for it on foot. The guy should’ve worked on his cardio more because he was taken down in the parking lot."

I hope they taZed his ass a couple times for good measure.

First thing, hellcat didn't hit the cop, the asshole behind the wheel hit the cop.
Just like a gun shot someone. No, the person with the gun shot them.
We're trained to blame the object and not the individual.

Agree, and the media does that all the time, but I doubt anyone here blamed the car.

Now, if it was a Mustang….

Maybe the cops should have accidentally stopped him from running in the parking lot by clipping him with the nose of the patrol vehicle. "Dispatch...we are going to need an EMT and a referral for an orthopedic surgeon (bone carpenter).

As evidenced by the sub-headline:
"And here we see a criminal in his natural element: behind the wheel of a Hellcat…"

Libs doesn't want anyone to have fun.

 

[BULL]

What's everybody's guess as to what the officer is doing in the first couple of frames of the video??

Agree, biased and prejudgement all over. His tag lines could use some work. His writing style seems to be pegging the headlines to inanimate things. We have seen some of his articles posted before, I looked the author up. I am sure he will be a star when the cars drive themselves. He has some good stuff, seriously it just seems to be his style.

“Tesla goes off roading...”
“Dodge Charger Driver Impersonates...”
“Neighbor Complains about Man’s Chevy Nova Hot Rod”
“Hellcat-Driving Great Grandma...”
“NC Dodge Charger Driver Arrested...”
“Ford Mustang Crashes after being shot”. Ha, the car WAS shot!

What's everybody's guess as to what the officer is doing in the first couple of frames of the video??

Either has the radar gun in his hand or he is flagging in the middle of the street? Does squatting down make you a less target if a car is coming at you?

Don’t get me wrong, the dude driving the Hellcat or anyone else should never think about doing what we see happening here.

But but - I saw it hit him...

Throwing a spike belt I assume, probably already fleeing from an attempted arrest/being pulled over.
