TEXAS (WABC) -- A quick-thinking police officer's split-second decision may have saved a woman's life, and it was all caught on video.


The Lubbock, Texas, officer was investigating an accident when an out-of-control driver hit his police cruiser.

The impact was caught by the officer's DashCam.





The officer pushed a woman involved in the first accident out of the way.

The driver that hit the police car was charged with drinking and driving.

Good job, gentlemen. And here's hoping that the driver of that 'other vehicle' acci-purposely commits suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head eleventeen times.

Not another 6 page thread... Oh wait, this is positive press for the police. Yea, not many comments in this instance.

I was a bit surprised at the lack of comment as well. I just wanted to be fair. In every instance there are the good, and the bad. Both deserve recognition.

Surly you guys can find something the cop did wrong.
It didn't look like he had his flashing lights on. That's pretty bone head move to park his car in a travel lane without lights.

They were probably doing some DWI check point and the offending driver just didn't want his rights violated.

Come on people, get it together.

Not one wearing a hat. Looked like he attacked the poor lady, and then the car crashed coincidentally at the same time. This is a thinly disguised attack on a poor citizen they were sworn to protect.

I bet this was a form 4 checkpoint anyway, and they had no jurisdiction to ask for papers.

Pure profiling by the cop...There is NO justification for assaulting a citizen like that. He should be charged, period. If he hadn't left his blinky lights on the other driver would not have been distracted and run into his car anyhow.

ps he was parked illegally.

Nuff Said

Thats true about the driver. Not trying to be a smart ass, but police usually don't do DWI check points. Police usually do DL check points.

WTF??? Not that I am complaining...But while you dont go out of your way to start the average Snipershide cop thread (and by average, I mean some keyboard commando looking for attention with an ax to grind on LEOs) but you really stepped out of character on this one. Good post though.

I am really amused that a thread like this really does show the true colors of other members. I am not gonna mention Ch'e, DaveD, HeathenRiflemen, or Opshin556, but if this were one of the 'other' kinds of cop posts, you know, to "keep members informed" (I never get tired of that one), you could be damned sure they, and a few others, would have a go at it.

Saw that the other day in email. My guess is sooner or later someone will use it to say a cop screwed up, but fast thinking when it's needed IS what the good guys are known for and well respected for

Fast thinking, maybe two lives saved? MM

I never got past the ad in the original link. I have this thing about not wasting my time watching ads first. YMMV.
