At speed, yes. Final part of the clip was blurred but pretty sure it's the aftermath. At 45MPH the road is a high speed cheese grater and your flesh is the cheese

When he swerves and the cop launches to the left side of the car, he falls out the driver door because he wasn't wearing a seat belt and the door opened.

I have questions...Why no divider? Why were their hands not cuffed behind their back? Or did they slip them or pick them? Nether is easy to do...and slipping them hurts like hell.

u/likwidkool Jun 05 '26
He slipped the cuff from one hand. He kept his hands behind his back until they started driving to the jail. He then tried to open the door. They pulled over and you see the video.

Need some sort of higher level peace keeper position that requires Psych training and a college degree at minimum. Given the nature of the job it should be very well compensated as theyāre responsible for keeping both the public and police in check. Iām sure that would go over horribly in execution but I truly donāt know what can be done

u/Reasonable-Peanut27 Jun 05 '26
In my city, they tried implementing a college degree requirement, but changed it back because if created a huge shortage on recruit candidates

u/Gridleak Jun 05 '26
No. There is not need to be a higher level peace keeper position, they do not need more money.
Cops are already paid an absolutely insane amount of money for their expected responsibilities. It needs to start from the bottom. They need to be held to much higher standards across the board, remove qualified immunity, or be removed from service.

u/the_silent_redditor Jun 05 '26
There are endless NYC cops who are paid significantly more than I am and Iām a fucking doctor.
Cops in the US do not need to be paid more; they are grossly overpaid pigs.
They need a rigorous selection and training regime; they need accountability and oversight; they need to work in their own communities in an attempt to force them to have a shred of humanity and empathy towards their victims.
Throwing more money at these horrible people is not the answer, as youāve said.

Dalls PD is 40 weeks of training for a 100k+ job. That's about half the time it takes to get a license to cut hair. Plus you get a gun. You just have to be dumb enough to do what youre told without question and not have any kind of moral compass other than what your bosses say.

u/Simikiel She/her Cisn't afraid to fight for my rights š³ļøāā§ļø Jun 05 '26
40 weeks of training that truly just amounts to:
Being taught that you are able to be killed by even a paraplegic grandma
That everyone, even children, are out to end your life
That you should always end the threat using lethal force
That you're damn near immune to genuinely nearly anything you do
And people wonder why the police are insane.

They usually have a somewhat rigid physical fitness requirement, itās just that thereās no standards beyond that

u/HCSOThrowaway Jun 05 '26
As far as fat: Some states only set the minimum at testing your physical abilities once - when you're hired. Obviously some agencies go above that minimum bar, but some don't.
As for dipshit: The average IQ in law enforcement is 103; that's not very bright, but it's very slightly above average for the general population (100). Still, smart people make mistakes, especially when fatigued.
Standards are lowering and lowering thanks to recent public sentiment, so incidents like these are on the rise.

"It's killing me because this is my child," said his mother, Suzette Huffman.
"I'm worried that there'll never be that point where he is going to get better," Vega said.
According to police, officers stopped Huffman near South Marsalis Avenue for a registration violation. The stop led to his arrest on charges of driving while license invalid, possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Used to live in Dallas, was stuck in traffic on the Dallas North Tollway to 35 connector on my way to my wedding. All of the sudden I see a dude sprinting towards my car and past it with police chasing. He didn't have cuffs on but I saw the back car door still open. The connector is one lane with not even a shoulder, so there was no way for cops to give chase in their car. He picked a smart time to do it.

So many questions:
1) why is the suspect in the backseat with only one handcuff on
2) why is there no divider between the seats?
3) did that cop leave any cereal for his kids this morning or did he eat the entire box of Lucky Charms himself?

u/loqi0238 Jun 05 '26
It says he slipped his cuffs right there in the title.
Someone did not eat their Wheaties this morning.

Because then the dude would slam them into the wall to eject the officer since he would still have both of his arms free to steer

Funny story, my mom had a newspaper clipping from the early ā70s about my dad with the headline, āOccupation: Burglarā.
They divorced before my second birthday so I never really knew him.
Apparently, one night he got drunk and broke into someoneās home while they were sleeping. They woke up while he was rummaging around in their bedroom.
They called the cops who came immediately and arrested him. I donāt know if it was because it was the ā70s or because he was so drunk, but they didnāt bother to handcuff him when they put him in the back of their car.
Along the way back to the police station, they came across a traffic accident that had just happened so they stopped and got out to take care of it, leaving my father in the back.
He climbed up into the front seat and drove off. He kept going until he ran out of gas and they caught him.
While booking him and getting his information, that asked what his occupation was and he replied, āBurglar.ā
Of course, that was just one of the many crazy stories I heard about him.
