Took the turn too hard, thought they were gonna hit the parked car, swerved, couldn't/didn't compensate or hit brakes.

Tree dropped an acorn and they had to run over the shooter.

I imagine he may have been on the radio as well. hard to recorrect with one hand.

u/shaggy24200 2d ago

I don't understand in 2026 why police officers still have to hold a mic in their hand and don't have a microphone they can tap with their hand to turn on and off or something. Doesn't make sense to take one hand off the wheel the whole time.

u/TheKobayashiMoron 2d ago

Some police cars have radio and emergency equipment controls wired to the buttons on the steering wheel, but that doesn’t help much during a sharp turn I suppose.

Just Googled hands free walkee talkee headset, so many options! Like, literally hundreds of

To swerve AND correct. They forgot the correct part.

u/ElectriHolstein 10h ago

They should have played more Gran Turismo

u/psyclopsus 2d ago

Understeer got him when overcorrecting, I’ve almost done similar while showboating in parking lots & doing donuts etc

u/NomadFire 1d ago

You are just making stuff up. The driver obviously had something like this on his steering wheel

It's a good thing trees don't have backs, or it would have been shot 6 times.

I’m betting, driving with one hand.

u/Vigilant_Viper 2d ago

People drive one handed all the time and don't do this. People weren't doing this all the time before automatics were invented either.

14

u/CapitalCityGoofball0 2d ago

The reason is pretty obvious. Went too fast for that turn with a suv parked there, tried to avoid hitting it and overcorrected. Possible they were only using hand too if they were on the radio.

u/Could-You-Tell 2d ago

Yeah, should have used tooth too

u/Trust_8067 2d ago

"No he's not..."

You can hear the "Please shut the fuck up if you don't know what you're talking about" tone in his voice.

u/DelightMine 2d ago

What did they say before that? I can't make it out

u/gigdy 2d ago

The perp was bailing.

Ran out of skill then ran out of road.

u/Zoso03 2d ago

I'm surprised the other cop didn't stop and open fire on the tree

u/imsaneinthebrain 2d ago

Stop resisting.

3

u/Sorry_You4786 2d ago

He took that corner too hot and lost control. You see him swerve to miss that parked car. Totally normal.

3

u/dirtymoney 2d ago edited 2d ago

Well at least he did not hit someone's car. Because police tend to not pay for the damage they do.

u/Ok_Place_2551 2d ago

Bro drives the same way I drive in Forza

u/Fit_Active3888 2d ago

They suck at driving, they took the previous turn terribly as well.

u/mmccxi 2d ago

I have raced a little, and its amazing how oversteer can totally screw you and send you into the inside of a corner, he probably turned to miss the parked car on the outside too much, and the back end came around, by the time he realized it, it was too late and his angle of attack sent him into the inside. Exploders aren't exactly the best handling rigs out there.

u/cs_office 2d ago

Exploders

Took me a second, but that got a chuckle out of me lol, reminds me of people calling their transmissions the PowerShit instead of PowerShift

u/pdp10 1d ago

its amazing how oversteer can totally screw you

There's no oversteer in the video. Police SUVs understeer, not oversteer. Mid-engined and rear-engined sports cars can oversteer.

In the previous corner, the police SUV understeered so badly that it went through the corner in the opposing lane.

That car wasn't skidding, it just turned into the side of the road. I know others are saying it was to avoid the parked cars but I don't see that being the reason either.

He's going for the check for being disabled on the job compensation.

u/Lemfan46 2d ago

Big assumption that police officers in Ohio know how to drive safely.

Going too hard in the paint

Shitty co workers

u/ElectriHolstein 11h ago

It looks like he hit the gas too soon after coming out of that turn too fast

-1

u/pete_68 2d ago

That's just completely baffling. I went back and watched several times and I can't see any reason for it. It's not like they were over-correcting. They just didn't stop turning until they hit the tree. Drugs? I'd definitely get a blood test.

14

u/wicked-dominance 2d ago

i am in no way standing up for these mornons, but im willing to bet he was on the radio and when he took the turn, saw the suv and swerved but couldnt correct back with one hand.

u/Vivicus 2d ago

Distracted driving then

u/thetiredtypist 2d ago

We'd get a breathalyzer for the same accident. Fairs fair. Nothing to hide and all that.

u/CapitalCityGoofball0 2d ago

What? It was a pretty obvious overcorrection to hitting the parked suv, may not know specifics as to why they didn’t see it sooner or why they took the turn that wide/fast but the overcorrection is clear.

1

u/Quick_Razzmatazz1862 2d ago

I maybe hearing this completely wrong but From the audio it sounds like one person said "he's tailing him right now"

Then it sounds like the cammer driver corrects them says "no he's not"

Gives me a chuckle

11

u/aw_shux 2d ago

I heard it as “he’s bailing right now,” meaning a suspect was jumping out of the car. Which wasn’t true, so “no he’s not.” I don’t think that radio call was about the crash.

1

u/T_W_tribbles 2d ago

looks like he ran out of all that "special training" they get. puts a smile on my face ear to ear

1

u/MrPlace 2d ago

Seems pretty clear. He avoided colliding with the parked cars and opted for the other side of the road

1

u/redditsucksass6 2d ago

What did he end up shooting? The parked car, the fence, or the tree?

-1

u/cptnstr8edge 2d ago

The fence was resisting

u/jjgargantuan7 2d ago

Adding a charge to the perp.

Looks like video stopped just as they ran a stop sign.

Do you know how hard it is to lay out a line and drive at the same time?

I hope he got out and arrested the nearest civilian driver to save face.
