Thank you!
Here are times when good cops are saved by unlikely strangers.
Starting with a female officer's life hung by a thread until a good Samaritan appeared, saving her in the nick of time.
On September 10th, 2022, Officer Stacey Wright pulled over a car speeding at 57 miles per hour in a 35 miles per hour zone.
The driver, later identified as 64-year-old David Kobek, was far from happy about the stop.
Day 12 radio traffic stop.
Day 12.
Lost nation in the airport. With Tom Henry for Edward 1.
As the officers approached the car, the situation quickly took a dangerous turn. Disaster was about to unfold.
Hello.
57 in a 35.
You're going 57 in a 35, sir.
Why are you getting out of the car, sir?
12 radio, this male just stepped out of the vehicle.
Step over here now.
Have a seat on the ground.
Have a seat.
I'm not sitting.
I'm not sitting!
Back off! Back off!
We're getting physical.
Put your hands behind your back.
I will tase you, sir.
Touch the vehicle. Put your hands on the vehicle now!
Just when things seemed darkest, a good Samaritan appeared, turning the entire situation around.
Radio, send me units.
Roll over on your stomach now!
Fucking ground!
Knock it off, man. Knock it off!
Get your arm behind you.
Put your arm behind your back!
Get your cuffs! Get your cuffs!
Shut up! Shut up!
You don't do that to a woman. Do you understand me?
Believe it or not, you don't do that to a woman.
All right, take him out.
Take him down.
Don't do it, boy. He raised you.
You're good up here.
Male's detained at this time.
What?
I don't know.
Roll on your side.
Stand up.
Walk back to my car.
It could have ended terribly without the timely intervention of the good Samaritan.
Huge props to him.
Later, the suspect was charged with assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, and speeding.
The man in the next case is just as dangerous.
Dude! Get on the ground!
On July 24, 2018, Officer Austin Williams responded to a welfare check at Sam's Club in Provo, Utah,
where a man was walking around asking people for water.
There, he encountered 34-year-old Emiliano Medina and immediately approached him.
We're just looking for a guy that had a gray shirt, but he had something else on the front.
Thanks.
No, you're good. Thank you.
246, I'll be out with him. We're going to be right by the pumps on the west side.
How you doing, man?
Hey, somebody called and said they were worried about you. Said you were asking for water or something.
Are you doing okay?
Sorry. Hey, don't touch. Dude!
Get on the ground! Get on the ground!
Get on the ground!
Step it up!
Despite the officer's attempt to detain him, Medina resisted and tried to flee.
However, his escape was short-lived when a hero citizen stepped into hell.
Thanks, guys.
The bystander's timely intervention helped the officer successfully detain the suspect.
Finally, Medina faced a felony county of disarming a police officer
and misdemeanor counts of interference with arresting officer,
failure to stop at command of law enforcement,
assault on peace officer in uniform and possession,
or use of a controlled substance.
Moved to a high-speed chase between the cops and a suspect.
67, you just pulled back, headed north onto Woodward.
Looks like he has a tire out as well.
In July 2017, officers in Ferndale, Michigan tried to pull over a 26-year-old man
after a license plate check revealed multiple traffic warrants and suspended licenses.
The suspect immediately fled, driving down a sidewalk and into an open area.
However, what awaited him was far beyond his expectation.
36 will be priority.
Turning into the Myers parking lot.
As the suspect neared a shopping center, a good Samaritan witnessed the chase and decided to intervene.
Just crashed out.
Get your f***ing hands up!
Back up! Get your f***ing hands up and stay there!
Get your head over behind your back!
Get your head behind your back!
The suspect was arrested without incident.
While police don't usually recommend public intervention, the bystander likely prevented a tragedy.
Inside the car, officers found a loaded handgun and heroin.
The suspect was charged with multiple offenses, including fleeing and possession of narcotics.
He definitely won't be outrunning the cops again anytime soon.
The same intense chase unfolded in the next case as well.
On July 20th, 2019, officers stopped a man at Lionel Perry Park in Surfer's Paradise around 9pm,
where they allegedly found a plastic baggie with crystals.
After being told he was being detained, the man made a sudden dash, leading to a tense police chase.
So we've got some bags here. At the moment we're going to detain you, alright?
Male running on foot. Male on foot.
Yeah, we've got a male running on foot.
As the dramatic chase continued, a bystander appeared, completely ending the suspect's hope of escaping.
Yeah, 2461 in custody.
You alright?
It was great to see the officer thanking the bystander for his help.
Respect given is respect earned.
The suspect was later charged with resisting arrest and possession of drugs.
At least he didn't make things worse during his arrest like this man.
Right in front of me. Right now.
On August 4th, 2023, an Amarillo officer pulled over a driver, discovered he had a warrant, and attempted to arrest him.
But the driver resisted and ran off, and things were about to take a dangerous turn.
You hit me?
Stay on the ground.
Now.
I can't breathe.
Yeah, breathe. Turn over.
At this point, the situation became extremely dangerous when the suspect tried to grab the officer's gun.
Just then, a bystander saw the chaos and rushed to help just as the suspect fired the gun, grazing the officer's side.
I got it. I will kill you.
Let go of me. Right now.
Stay still.
I will ******* kill you.
No.
I can't.
Stop it.
Let go.
Just let go.
Let go.
Yeah, we're good.
Sorry.
Please.
Please don't call me again.
Please.
I'm behind you.
34th and Western.
23.
No.
Dude.
I'm trying to heal you.
Oh, no. You got to be still.
I will just stay there.
You got my ribs.
Don't.
Quit.
The officer and the bystander faced numerous difficulties as they struggled to detain the suspect.
You just let me.
No.
You just let me.
I can't.
34th and Western.
Behind.
Behind me.
Just three.
Done.
Off my right arm, dude.
No.
I can't.
I'm trying to.
You shot at him.
I didn't shoot at him.
Yes, you did.
I wasn't trying to.
You tried to kill him.
I tried to get my gun out of my daggum holster.
No.
You pulled the trigger, ******.
Oh.
Help.
I can't breathe, dude, please.
Just let me.
Oh.
Okay.
I'm done.
Just let me go.
I'll roll over and put my hands behind my back.
No.
Not until everyone gets here.
Man, that might have hurt you, bro.
My hand, too.
I don't know where my camera is.
Oh, no.
We got you, brother.
I'm so happy you didn't do nothing else.
No.
I have.
Just listen on my right arm, please.
No.
You can't do anything.
You've been fighting, dude.
I ain't doing shit.
Okay.
You guys have the best chance.
Eventually, the suspects stopped resisting, and they had to manage the tense situation
for a while until backup arrived.
My right wrist is about to break.
Oh, please.
Oh, no, man.
No.
All right.
We'll do it.
We'll do whatever you do.
We'll make it through.
We'll make it through here, bro.
That guy up here at the plate, he's behind us.
Where I am?
Right behind you.
I saw him.
34-12.
Stand to drive.
I saw him.
Where's my bike at?
In the alley.
I'll be taking that up to you.
The help's way over there.
Thank you.
I really appreciate it, bro.
Take your arm in.
Oh, yeah, man.
I will go to the other room.
Finally, what they had been waiting for arrived, the backup officers.
At this point, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Oh, hey, how you guys up?
I'm glad I heard it.
You all right?
Yeah.
Oh, my head.
I'm gonna call 911.
Oh, my head.
I'm gonna call 911.
Ow!
Am I good?
I'm gonna call 911.
I need you to take your outfit off.
The next suspect proved to be a very challenging individual.
That's my shit. My world.
Yeah?
You want your pie?
What?
You want your pie?
Oh, yeah.
In November 2016, two officers spotted a man walking barefoot and blocking traffic on a highway.
He appeared intoxicated, jumping on several cars, including a deputy's squad car.
Little did they know, this man was about to become incredibly unpredictable.
He's here to help you, too.
He doesn't want to hurt you.
I'm gonna jump over the car.
Jump over the car?
Yeah.
How are you gonna jump over that car?
His actions were erratic, and it didn't stop there.
He was about to take the situation to a whole new level of chaos.
Where are you going?
Oh, shit.
That's your car, baby.
My shit.
You ready?
That's my shit. My world.
Yeah?
You want your pie?
Oh, yeah. Hold on.
Chill.
Affirmative, ma'am.
I'm gonna sit.
All right. Come on. Come on down here.
Come on down here. Come on down here.
All right.
Here goes the grass.
He ain't me, though.
Okay. All right.
Yeah?
Jack?
All right. All right.
Come down.
Shit.
Motherfuckers.
At this point, the situation
was extremely dangerous,
and witnesses couldn't hide their shock
at what was unfolding. Thankfully,
a few citizens stepped in to help the police.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, shit.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
We can help. You can help an officer.
Come on.
Go, go, go, go.
Be careful, Papi.
Go, go. Let's go.
Come on.
Thanks to the help of citizens, the suspect was arrested.
If only one person,
especially a pregnant woman, had chased
a dangerous suspect, it could have been
extremely risky. The next case serves as
an example. Old Denver Highway.
10-4. He's not
gonna take Old Denver Highway. He has a tire iron.
Stop.
146th and come. He has...
There's a biker. No, he just...
Get off the road.
Can't get off the road. He's dangerous.
Don't let him get in. Stop, stop.
On August 3rd, 2023,
state police in Santa Fe County, New Mexico
were in pursuit of 39-year-old
Stephen Jimenez, who had just stolen
a white Lincoln Navigator from a woman
he was traveling with. A pregnant patrol
officer spotted him, and after a wild
high-speed chase involving multiple
collisions and near misses, Jimenez
took his rage out on both a passing
biker and the pregnant officer.
Here is what truly happened.
He's trying to ram me off the road.
He just crashed me.
He's trying to...
He's trying to get me to pull over. He just rammed me.
That's it.
10-4. He's right behind me.
He just rammed me. He
pulled off to the side of the road.
He is
turning around now. Please let Santa Fe
Regional know. I think he's going to try to go back
to the house.
He's driving all over the road.
Freaking idiots.
146, I'm calling my
current 20. I'm passing Caballo
Lane. I'm going back north
on 63.
We're coming up on the
1, the 1 mile marker.
He's in the opposite lane
of travel right now.
Should I try to...
I think I'm going to pit him because he's...
The chase
was incredibly tense. Unfortunately,
the sudden appearance of a cyclist on the
road made the situation even more dangerous.
Old Denver Highway.
10-4. He's not going to take Old Denver
Highway. He has a tire iron.
Bellini, stop.
146, send come. He has...
There's a biker! No! He just...
Get off the road!
Get off the road. He's dangerous.
Get off the road.
146, send come. He is still
driving down 63. We're going towards
Intopegos. He attempted to hit
a person on a bike. 146, send come.
There are more people on the bikes. I'm going to hit
him.
146, send come.
He's still going. He's
crushing my vehicle intentionally as well.
We're here with the two. He's on foot.
146, send come. He's running at me.
Stop!
F***ing Tatey, dude! Stop!
Stop!
Stop! Stop!
At this point, the female officer
was facing immense danger as the
man decided to attack her car.
Would a miracle happen to help the pregnant officer?
Let's find out.
Stop!
Stop! Don't f***ing do it!
Cut it out!
Thank you!
Stop!
No!
You motherf***er!
I'm going to f***ing tape you!
Cut it out!
What's your problem?
Stop resisting!
Just let me go!
Cut it out!
Get out!
Turn.
Get the f*** out, dude!
Cut it out!
Sorry, f***ing b***h!
I'm going to f***ing tape you! Stop!
Stop!
I'm going to f***ing tape you!
The appearance of a good Samaritan
helped the female officer escape danger.
However, the suspect certainly
did not give up without a fight.
Stop trying to bite me!
146, I got one male detained.
We're on 63.
At the 2.
Hold up, I need to...
Hold up, I need to tell you...
Shut the f*** up!
You guys are f***ed!
Shut the f*** up!
Shut up!
Yes, thank you.
Shut up!
I checked him for weapons.
I'm pregnant.
So I need to...
Put your hands up.
Put your hands above your head.
Stop resisting right now!
Put your hands up here.
Up now, you understand?
Well then, up!
Leave me alone!
Be quiet!
He tried killing that lady.
Is this police?
No, you hit me.
Stop it!
Help me, please!
Help!
I can't take my insulin.
I can't go in.
He has a tire.
I can't find it now.
I think he left it on my unit.
No, it wasn't in my hands.
I wanted to, but I just put it on.
You're going to break my f***ing wrist!
What should we do?
Let me go!
Shut up!
I surrender!
Shut up!
Be quiet!
Finally, the man was brought under control
and quickly cuffed.
I'm going to take one off, but I'm going to hold that wrist like that.
Please don't do that!
Be quiet!
She's going to wait for help.
I told her to stop!
I told you to stop!
Be quiet!
Let me take this off you.
Are you guys going to disturb me?
Let me do it by myself.
I'll put it in the back.
Stop pulling up!
I'm going to grab it.
Let me grab it.
Stop!
You tried to grab my gun.
Shut up, I don't trust you.
Shut up!
You guys are f***** up, baby!
Oh, my arms are too tired.
This son of a f*****
who ran over me in the car.
Be quiet, dude.
You f***** hit me.
You came at me.
Okay.
I'm going to get gloves and stuff.
I'm going to just pat him down.
I can do this.
Let's set him up because he's on his...
He's on his...
My mom knows everything.
I need my answer.
They don't want to help me.
Shut up.
I don't care. Shut up. Don't talk to me.
I don't care.
He hit her tires, but she jumped out of the way in time.
Him. This was the white navigator.
That was the one we were looking for.
He was coming when I came out of...
Thank God.
The tire.
10-4. I don't believe the 41
was injured, but he did intentionally go
and I did see the bike.
I mean, his vehicle hit the bike tire.
We need to check today.
Find out what's wrong.
The man was charged with
aggravated battery on an officer.
Aggravated battery on an officer with a deadly weapon.
Aggravated battery.
Criminal damage to property.
Resisting, battery, reckless driving,
and attempt to commit a felony.
Move to the next case.
Hey. Hey.
Get on the ground.
Put your hand behind your back.
Put your ******* hand
behind your back.
On May 18, 2021,
an officer spotted
a man displaying erratic behavior
on the road and quickly approached.
Little did he know, this would turn out to be
one of the craziest arrests of his life.
What are you doing?
Who?
Come here.
What are you doing?
Come here.
What are you doing?
Calm down.
What is going on?
No, no, no. Calm down. Calm down.
What are you doing?
You're crazy. You're going crazy here.
Okay.
We are.
What is going on?
Calm down.
What's your name?
Frampolina.
No, no, no.
Come back here a second.
Hey.
No, no, no. Sir, sir.
Come back here, man.
Come on.
Put your hands behind your back.
Stop.
Okay.
Don't.
Don't do that.
The situation quickly spiraled
out of control when the man started
acting even more erratically.
Fortunately, the officer wasn't alone and had
backup and a hero nearby.
Hey.
Get on the ground.
Put your hands behind your back.
Put your ******* hands behind your back.
They're going to kill me.
Nobody's going to kill you.
It ain't working, buddy.
It ain't working.
They want to kill me.
Calm down.
You okay, sir?
We're fine.
You're bleeding.
You good?
We're going to the rescue.
Relax.
Nobody hit you in the face.
Sit up.
You hit me, buddy.
You hit me.
Get up and sit on your butt.
Help me.
You okay?
It's not going to be easy, man.
You okay?
Help me.
Check him.
I got blood all over me.
You don't need me at all.
I broke my brand new glass.
You were trying to my house.
Don't even.
Check your heart.
The officer quickly learned
from witnesses at the scene
what had led to the man's erratic behavior.
What happened?
They started fighting.
Oh, okay.
You're just a witness bystander?
This is his truck and the dog jumped out
so I put the dog back in the truck.
Oh, okay. Can I get...
Yeah, I didn't even mind. I ain't going nowhere.
This is the gentleman that helped me.
That helped me.
They hit him over there in that truck.
Okay.
You good, sir?
Your officer was just
talking to him.
He shoved your officer, tried to run away.
Your officer grabbed his hand.
Your officer...
You got blood?
No, he got turned off in the fight.
He did nothing.
I was sitting at the light.
He was talking to him.
The guy tried to run away.
He grabbed his hand.
Your officer...
You okay there, buddy?
He's not okay.
I would like to see...
I didn't see nothing.
He came out pretty quick out of that truck.
What's up, buddy?
Does he have any probes in him?
He took two cartridges.
I hit him with the second cartridge.
Hi, mama.
Hi, little mama.
Actually, the first shot you fired
was the one in him.
He came out of the car wanting to take it out of you.
Yeah, not bad.
The suspect was eventually charged
with resisting an officer with violence,
battery on a law enforcement officer,
driving with a suspended license,
and careless driving.
