- The Coweta County Sheriff's Office released this 31-minute video recorded on a deputy's bodycam showing a chase involving a U-Haul truck on Oct. 11, 2020. Investigators said Jackie Harris was shot three times at the end of the chase near Interstate 85 near the Bullsboro Blvd. exit. He suffered a spinal cord injury. The GBI investigated the use of force and turned over its findings to the district attorney. Prosecutors determined the use of force was justified. This is the full video released by the Coweta County Sheriff's Office on Oct. 5, 2021. Some may find this video disturbing to watch.

Why would you start a chase in a u haul or any rental car? you're gonna lose your deposit bro
Plus all that extra mileage and repairs.
He was counting on the cops having governors on their cruisers set at 45. That way he’d have that all important 10mph edge during the chase.
That's gonna be the least of your worries in a chase lol
He bought the extra coverage, so not his problem :-D

@@glorybelieve9010 I have. I compassion for people who cause themselves to be shot especially while committing a crime. You bleeding heart liberals perpetuate crime by being lenient on it.
I love the body cams these officers are wearing. All departments should have this type. You see exactly what the officer is seeing and leaves little to nothing for interpretation.
Those bodycams point the same direction but do not see exactly what the human eye does.
@@Topgun0252 My department is interesting. They give Officers two body cameras each from axon.
One is the regular one you see on chest level, the other is a head level camera that goes either on their shoulder, on the brim of a hat, or on their ear,
They also give each new Officer a car that is less than 5-6 years old.
Until it gets knocked off in a fight or muted for a “private discussion”

Gun mounted camera. 👍
Your seeing one perspective though. 90% of the time the officer will be behind cover and the angle your seeing would be blocked. There’s multiple places to put a bodycam. They all have blind spots depending on what’s going on.
this officer was one step ahead the entire time, he had great calls
so him shooting the person was a good choice "i had no choice" he said to when he could have shot the tiers and the uhual isnt heavy enough to break the rails long as it didnt go head on into it that was a "good call"

I would love to know what the uhaul driver was thinking when he was being shot at. Something like "wait. They are actually shooting at me"

"ouch, ouch, ouch"
"Ow, ow, ow"
he was thinking “_____________”
Probably “Why can’t I brake or use my feet anymore? What’s wrong with my legs? Why can’t I feel anything from the chest down? It immediately caused a spinal cord injury.
Maybe you'll find out one day when you don't stop quickly enough and they decide to shoot you too.
never mind the shots, can we talk about how huge this officer his? Hes like 3 heads taller than his patrol vehicle!
Facts
Lol
@Faze King123 So true. There should be police procedures firing into a moving car if his life wasn't in danger
@Faze King123 did you not listen to him? The suspect was attempting to hit other drivers, and in a truck that big, could have easily have killed innocent drivers. Police authorized deadly force to stop him. Amazing you're willing to defend a criminal running from the police and attempting to hurt innocent people.
@Faze King123 😂 He has already been FULLY cleared of any wrong doing. Now what? Oh just so you know, you sound ignorant!
This department is so well organized. The officer we're watching called out and made it clear that he shot, and not the driver. Then, when they were trying to get the driver out, one other officer yelled out "one voice!" I assume, as not to confuse the driver and keep the officers from giving conflicting commands. Plus, taking the entirety of the public into consideration with taking this guy out. Awesome job.
This man swerved right after being spike stripped, not tried to kill innocent civilians, making deadly force unjustified. Why would a fleeing suspect try to hit vehicles intentionally and risk slowing down to be caught?
@@adambpm He literally tried ramming the Sheriff's Deputies numerous times. And crashed into a truck and then proceeded to get into the opposite lane of traffic and turned off their headlights. I saw two instances where the truck barely missed hitting into two cars because of how slow the u-haul turns.
@@mrpoliceemsfire1 That he did not do, not even once. The eye will see what it wants to see. Most people (including fleeing felons) want to live not die.
@@adambpm You miss the part where he SLAMMED into a car and then keeps goin.?. JUSTIFIED..
@@rippen1982 You expect a fleeing felon to stop and get arrested after hitting a car? And that somehow it's intentional just because he's trying to get away?
If you are using a vehicle as a weapon, than the shooting was definitely justified.
He wasn't tryna ram them or anything tho when he shot

The professionalism by these coos is great... Didnt scream at the guy, did their job and got him help, never a overly aggressive/personal tone... Good on ya...

Crashing, leaving the people in the other vehicle to die, flee the scene, flee from Police, using truck as a deadly weapon against law enforcement, driving wrong side of road with no headlights. This was justified absolutely.
Agreed!
I mean that was the closest thing to drive by could of shot the tires out. But I also fast forward to the shooting part so I have no idea
@@dailyyydangles8094 One must consider, when shooting, where the bullet goes after the shot if one misses (not hard to do from a moving vehicle when firing a pistol). If you miss a tire, the bullet may ricochet off the hard surface of pavement and go quite a distance beyond. Who lives out there? Flat tires do not necessarily stop a vehicle. People are harder to kill with a pistol than most people think, especially if the bullet has to travel through a metal door first. I would have chosen to disable the engine - bigger target stops the bullet even when it does no damage, lots of systems to damage which might bring the truck to a controllable stop.
@@jameswolfe7485 that's right, shoot the cooling system or the oil pan, that way the vehicle will overheat, cause the vehicle to catch fire and burn the occupants alive. Also, the engine block will cause ricochet just like concrete. Also, engine will require more shots to disable. Each additional shot is another liability.
Agreed.
Taking that shot, at those speeds, and getting a hit, without crashing, is absolutely badass
Without a doubt one of the coolest POLICE moves I have ever seen❗️
Really he thinks he's a cowboy
@@brianowens6797 The only "cowboy" is the idiot driving the U haul truck.
It's a legal murder if the guy died. Cops didn't make any money for the city, sadly... Nobody is getting promoted unless money is made...
@@brianowens6797 You must have been in the eluding driver position many times,
For everyone who is confused on this one.
"It started on Oct. 11, 2020, around 9:16 p.m. The Coweta County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were dispatched to the BP gas station along US-27 after reports of two people breaking into tractor-trailers. Deputies said those two were found at the nearby Pilot Travel Center where they were caught in the act of trying to breaking into a tractor-trailer.........Deputies also unsuccessfully tried to box in the box truck, but were met with the broadside of the vehicle each time. And using the PIT maneuver was out of the question."We’re not PIT-ing this one, it’s a big one," the deputy said.
As the chase progressed, deputies were looking for ways to end the chase safely.
But it was when the driver of the U-Haul began to aim at the cars parked along the side of the interstate that the stakes became higher.
Officer over the radio: "We got motorists pulling over, he's trying to hit them as well.""Still going down 27, it just tried to ram a car head-on," one deputy could be heard radioing dispatch."Officer advising he's got no lights on and is going southbound. It will be two males and advising he is driving in the wrong lane of traffic. We need to get stop sticks out..." the deputy told dispatch."
Deputy: "Be advised, we're at 'deadly force' in this situation, guys. If we get the chance, I'm not going to let him hurt somebody else."
"Given the circumstances and the risk to everyone on the roadway, one deputy with supervisory authority determined it was necessary to utilize deadly force."
👍💪👮
Thank you! Why can't these channels bother to include this info?!?
@@alannahayter8491 some of them do, some of them don't. It's not their obligation to.
The shots were definitely necessary. Im usually not one for cops just shooting at suspects when they're not "armed" .. but in this circumstance, that big a** uhaul could of caused a major, deadly accident. Dumba**es probably thought if they turned out the lights and drove on the wrong side of the road, that they would call off the chase. Lol, guess again... hold on to these bullets instead.
Damn that was a better report than this news channel… too bad they would never hire you because they don’t like telling the whole story.
I bet the driver of that U-Haul was like WTF!! when he heard and felt them bullets hitting! He didn't know they can do that!!😵
He knows now
I agree. He thought if he made it more dangerous for everyone else, they’d let him go.
Bo & Luke Duke got into the pursuit

I didnt know they could do that either lmao. When it happened I was thinking I missed something, like the suspect shooting at them
Loved how clear he was on the fact that the driver was not seen with a weapon to make sure the cops acted accordingly mad props!
When you hear over the radio “there’s a trooper comin up” that’s when you know it’s getting heated
This officer had a itchy trigger finger he didn't know if there was a child in the cab of the truck didn't know anything about the interior of the cab .he couldn't wait to pul his gun out to fire at random inside the cab. &it was one way traffic I don't agree with this at all.why did they turn there body cameras voice recording off fishy to me.
@@rickrangel7419 the guy is driving a 5 ton truck down the wrong lane, trying to hit people. You get hit by a truck like that, doesn't matter what you're driving, you're not walking away. The truck is being used as a weapon, the use of force is justified.

Bodycams are the best thing to happen to law enforcement in their entire history. There is nothing that can restore the public's faith in them more than this, its forcing them to be honest, and its given us years of incredible footage.
It’s just this wonderful universal win that we so rarely see in society. This was almost as elegant an idea as Euler’s number.
Only when they don't mute or turn them off while colluding with one another.
Maybe radios?
I think the officer made the right choice, tough call, but couldn't risk this maniac hurting innocents. Good job officer, sleep well.
I thought they should have done it sooner myself.
Once the guy started shooting out of the truck, the officers immediately realized that this guy is an imminent threat to society and would do anything to not get caught. Anybody, even the judge, jury, and lawyer would agree
@@houstonharrell1138 the guy in the u haul never shot
@@houstonharrell1138 Yeah the guy in the u-haul never shot and didn't even have a gun.. the cop shot him because he was threatening his truck as a weapon and the officer couldn't risk letting him hurt someone
@@houstonharrell1138 He never fired a shot. And if course the pig patrol said it was oK>
Should be the standard with suspects fleeing in a vehicle. If the suspect strikes another vehicle, a pedestrian; or causes another vehicle to crash; deadly force should be immediately authorized. A lot of countries already have that policy in place.
so that they can kill MORE uninvolved drivers/ pedestrians ?
@@cajunrandy2143 Notice there were no other cars when he took the shots. Waiting and hoping this 15,000 lb truck doesn't go where a lot of people are and crash into them would be a thousand times more dangerous than shooting the criminal all on his lonesome where if he crashes, nobody gets hurt but him. Do you lack the ability to think? lol
Yea the problem with that is, they are already legally allowed to use deadly force to stop him if he's posing deadly risk to the public which he has demonstrated several times. Its probably against department policy to shoot at or from moving vehicles to avoid the potential for increased risk for the average everyday road user. He was trying to wait for permission it just didn't come in time so he had to make the choice on his own. Personally I think he made the correct one.
@@cajunrandy2143 or just put a tracker on the car and completely disengage until the vehicle comes to a complete stop

Thank God you took this creep out. Tired of seeing family's taken out because of these horrible "let them flee rules". The family he saved could have been yours. And that's got to be the best placement of a body cam ever.
The let them flee rules are their to save lives because the officers can only escalate the situation so much to try to end the assault without risking more lives as the offenders are willing to do anything to get away we’ve all seen it… so when there are less innocent bystanders around they can apply more force to apprehend assailants… The flee rules are there for a good reason.

I’ve watched many police chase videos in my day. Between this and the NM (I think) guy in the pickup from a few months back, these are the wildest I’ve ever seen. To shoot out of a moving vehicle, through an open window, at a high rate of speed in a high stress situation- I don’t care who you are, that isn’t easy. And to hit your target twice no less, that is something else.
Also, I’d imagine we were viewing a supervisors camera? If he isn’t, promote him immediately. He safely managed an entire crew of men, under an amazing amount of stress with no one getting hurt but the driver. It’s clear he’s worthy of a supervisory role.
AND he was driving the vehicle! Dudes a beast!!
He hit him three times! That’s 50% accuracy shooting a moving vehicle while driving, one handed. That’s insane
I work at U-Haul, and this right here is why we govern the trucks to 75 mph. Imagine that going over 100

I agree. This cop definitely is experienced and extremely professional. Controlling the situation while driving in a stressful situation. This video should be used as a training aid. Would be hard not to get tunnel vision with all that adrenaline and stress.
So shooting into the vehicle cause you're frustrated that they won't stop is professional to you?😂

@@MrPerry-tb6zu The bottom line is that the shooting was ruled justified, dummy. The court completely cleared this deputy.
I don’t know the specifics of how it was argued in court, however, it was likely ruled justified under existing case law Graham v. Connor and Tennessee v. Garner.
Under Tennessee v. Garner, law enforcement can use deadly force to prevent the escape of a suspect, so long as his or her escape poses a significant threat of death or serious bodily injury to the public. Playing chicken in a U-haul could cause death or serious injury to others.
Graham v. Connor created the objective reasonableness standard pertaining to the use of deadly force, based on the totality of the circumstances. Essentially, did the officer act reasonably in his use of deadly force based on the totality of the circumstances? The court said yes, it was reasonable to shoot someone trying to kill other motorists. What if the driver had gone head on with a family and killed everyone in the other car?
You asked for answers, I delivered them, dummy.

@@ivanhernandez2157 I never had to shoot anybody, although there were a few close calls over the years. However, I retired 14 years ago, when the police were still respected to a certain degree.
@@bryansimmons4550 I agree with you. I have friends in law enforcement and they have told me so many things they see and I've asked them how they go about it.. It's not easy for some & others get use to it after coming back from war seeing worse scenarios.. I personally wouldn't handle a job as a police officer. Too much stuff going on.
That's why most of the time they just mag dump, if they have a 15-round magazine then that's how many times
Shooting at a moving target while driving at high speed himself...and hitting the target. Nice shooting by the cop. I don't need a law degree to know that this is 100% justified.
High speed?
@@jimwantsjustice3465 I'd say so.
@@jimwantsjustice3465 that was high speed.
100% justified.. He was Fleeing, he caused a serious personal injury accident & left the scene, repetitively tried to hit oncoming traffic head on, turned off his headlights, wrong side of the road, repetitively tried to ram police cars off the road.... The Sheriff was calm & keeping great radio communication to other officers & dispatch, kept dispatch advised how to instruct officer from another district that weren't on their radio channel what to be cautious of & warned them of upcoming strategy.... He was clear to explain before he shot that they met the criteria for deadly force....& warned other officer of intent to shoot & where to avoid being so they're not in the line of fire.... he rolled his window down & didn't damage his own police vehicle trying to shoot thru a window.... kept his patrol vehicle under control & and fired well aimed controlled shots... effectively stopping it & avoiding anyone else police or civilian from getting hit or injured..... Excellent job by the sheriff!
Agreed, fabulous professionalism.
And he did not swerve one inch on the road while doing all of this. Thank you sir. My deepest respect.
Yup attempted man slaughter via uhaul
If a Deputy arrests a U-Haul driver, did the Deputy bust a move? 🤔
Great comment
I love it 😀
That.... was amazing :)
I spit out my drink reading that!
💀💀💀💀💀😂😂😂
Even despite the title, I sure wasn't expecting the DIRTY HARRY action. That was epic.
Officer fires three shots From a moving vehicle at a moving vehicle. And scores three hits. Damn good shooting
Not true. He fired six shots in total- 3 shorts initially, retreated, pull along side again and fired 3 more. Still, not bad shooting. This guy did pose a threat to the public, although not a huge threat because of the time and very light traffic conditions. Nonetheless, he definitely needed to be stopped. I really don't think shooting from a moving vehicle at a moving vehicle is a great practice, yet in this case I approve. There was little chance a stray round might strike an innocent bystander. The reward outweighed the risk given all factors.
@@misterdeeds2172 he was literally driving the wrong way for the beginning we don’t wait for tragic to happen prevention is the key
@@ahmedalanbagi1416 : Prevention is the key. That much you got right. However, your 'prevention' is clearly being considered quite narrowly. High-speed pursuits are a risky undertaking. That is why many jurisdictions either prohibit them or greatly limit them. It is proven an individual intent upon getting away is likely to engage in increasingly dangerous attempts to accomplish his goals. Thus, increasing the risk to the public. Those pursing are also often creating increased risk for the public as they, too, must match or exceed what the suspect is doing in order to accomplish their goal of ending the pursuit. Every year innocent people are harmed and even killed as a result of high-speed pursuits. Sometimes prevention of a tragedy means terminating the pursuit or backing off.
Furthermore, I find it most beneficial that I consider the entirety of information presented me before forming a conclusion. You should try it sometime, rather than fixating on a single point, that, by the way, you have clearly misinterpreted. We actually agree regarding how this particular pursuit was ended. We just got there via a different route.
Finally, I offer the link below in support of my position of the need to balance the risks associated with police pursuits. I believe you will find this is an instance in which prevention of a tragedy failed miserably on the part of the pursuer, i.e, the cop.

Mind you, I'm not saying that is the case, but not precluding the possibility, either. I'm just using that as an example of individual entitlements. Only you know if it applies.
The officer did a very right action. In order to stop the situation, the faster the better. No time to harm other innocent lives.
This officer giving the situation was justified in his actions him saying it’s a blessing that nobody got hit head on is well said! That officer making the decision to shoot the driver of that truck saved someone’s life from being taken in a head on crash and that kills everyone in the car! Props to this officer for making this decision it saved many lives!
I completely disagree! This entire situation did not call for deadly force. Minimal traffic here. Multiple cruisers yet none can stop a uhaul?! If He can accurately shoot at the driver. He can also shoot tires. A high speed pursuit does not justify an execution. Using your logic.. How do you justify an officer in route at high speeds that can easily have human or mechanical failure and cause the same result? Should we get out our guns and shoot them too?
@@ricklodestein1101 He was showing active signs of endangering the public using a deadly weapon (the vehicle). At this point, lethal force is authorized.
It is more dangerous to shoot at tires and is also illegal / against government SOP's.
Your correct, A high-speed pursuit does not justify an execution. The officer did not attempt to "execute" the subject, but to stop the threat.
@@pixelg.9208 okay maybe? But you mean to tell me that all those cars couldn't pit him or box him in? In the 60's & 70's. The cop in front would have slowed down as the 2 on each side would come over pining the vehicle in its place. Or pit maneuver as the cars were bigger and usually tougher than today's cars. I'd shoot the engine or tires unless I'm being fired upon. But that's me.. be safe
@@ricklodestein1101 It depends on the department, I know most departments nowadays don't really do rolling roadblocks to block the vehicle anymore due to the price to repair the police vehicles, but I can see that they did try to slow the vehicle down to a safe speed to set spikes up so that was a nice tactic to see preformed.
Lol I don't know but that box truck looks to big to be able to pit, I feel like it would be difficult to make that thing turn, but I've never seen it done before so I cant say.
@@ricklodestein1101 he had already hit someone . he was aiming for people . if he woulda hit your family and killed all of them you would have wished he shot thek
His control of his adrenaline is freakin awesome and to know someone else needed to take control
Amazing to me how cops can be in these pursuits and not have eye issues. I would go crazy having to stare at bright LED’s while trying to also do my job and stay focused.
Camera picks up a lot of glare they probably don’t notice in person
You really don’t see it much when you’re driving. The camera picks up more glare as mentioned before.
They still blind the hell outta you from experience.
Dam the job, if your life is on the line you’ll find a way that’s for dam sure.
Makes you really appreciate law enforcement officers and the incredibly difficult job they've got. It's a long way from selling real estate or cleaning office buildings or something like that. I honestly don't think I could handle that much stress in a healthy way.
A bad officer is an absolute menace, a good officer is worth their weight in gold, a great officer is an inspiration.
Well said.
How about coal mining?
100% justified. I only wish they had acted sooner when he was going head-on. One of the few times I'd say tire-shots and lethal force were definitely justified almost immediately.
Since when do police do drive by shootings? They should let him go, the chase and drive by shooting is not in the interest of public safety.
Shooting out of patrol cars is permitted in specific circumstances (such as this one) by most departments. The officers in this specific video could have technically used lethal force from the point where the driver starts trying to hit innocent civilians who are pulled over to the side of the road, not to mention every instance when the driver almost rammed the patrol car on his rear right side. The reason chases like this drag on for so long and pose such a great risk to the public is because (as mentioned by Shadow Wolf) with the restrictions imposed on police departments regarding use of force (largely thanks to people with ignorant opinions such as yours putting ever increasing pressure on already under-funded/equipped/trained police departments) it is becoming increasingly harder to handle these kinds of situations in an efficient and safe manner. Sure a bullet isn't the cleanest way to solve the world's problems but it sure is the fastest. And when the lives of civilians are at hand thats kinda what you need💁♂️
Does that help shed some light on the issue?
The problem with acting sooner is the approximate population of the area when making the decision to fire on a moving vehicle while you yourself are shooting. @Andrew Campbell above made a very good point. One heck of a shoot! One must consider where any shots that miss, may go. Into oncoming cars, off the road houses etc,. As an ex-LEO (and sadly and ex-con), I believe that he picked the best reasonable location to make the stop.
@@mikeicee That was not a drive by shooting by any means and I resent the use of the term. He was defending the public against someone attempting to use a "truck" as a deadly weapon. It was clear that the driver had no intention of stopping and was willing to risk the lives of others to get away. Sure let him go. Until he runs into you or your family Mr Mike. (accident pun not intended). After he hurts or kills you or someone else, would you have wanted to Police to have done their job hours ago? He chose not to man up and accept that he was caught miles and potential victims ago. No telling what he would have done once out of Police observation. He must then, accept the consequences of those actions. No one else deserves to be accountable to them. Good shoot; no question.
@@mikeicee If they let him go, which they probably couldn't have done at the time, they're leaving it to chance he won't just drive recklessly down the road anyway. It's happened. Even after police end the pursuit due to speed or whatever, they still sometimes drive really fast, blow through lights and swerve all over the place.
A deadly threat calls for deadly force, well done officer.
They could just let him go. The police endangered the public with that chase over what?
@@mikeicee - You recommend that they let someone who has actively shown willingness to use deadly force towards members of the public go free...?
I have to disagree with you.
If they let him go and he went head-on into a car at 60 miles per hour a mile down the road and killed someone, then what...?
@@mikeicee Let him go..? he has a 13,000 pound vehicle being used as deadly force, there was no other option
@Mike Icee Yeah let's just let every criminal get away the second they hop in a car.
@@mikeicee You make videos about cars.
You know nothing about police work or how guns work.
I’ve been watching officer involved shootings back to back for like two days. This officer has handled this better than any officer that I have seen so far. If all officers was like this one we would not have nowhere near the amount of trouble. I really applaud this officer.
As long as liberals are in charge there will be trouble
@@taylorsebring998 trouble begins at every turn of disagreement, not because of a political side, everyone is to blame. and regardless of how good the police force is, there will always trouble. its non debatable, just the way of the human race
@@Bureza true in the sense there will always be evil in the world but you let pro power pro government people rule RINOS included there will always be a measurable increase in officer involved shootings, crime, trigger happy cops, repeat offenders, more imprisonment, more poverty more dependence of government, more drug abuse.

Pro American exceptionalism, pro job, pro nation, and of course pro non broken wishy washy Immigration system makes a direct impact and difference on crime and OIS
Also a true america first conservative wouldn’t poke around in other countries getting involved in wars and other countries issues. All of them are liberals as well. Wars over seas with absolutely nothing for American citizens to majorly profit off of is globalism in my eyes
@@taylorsebring998 I disagree. People are in charge and the training police and others in authority get results in many different outcomes. In this case, the officers showed pretty darn good training and situational awareness. The driver of the U-Haul endangered other people (just like a person who is drunk driving) which meant the police had to try to stop him from driving any more. The driver tried numerous times to hit a police vehicle as well as civilian vehicles all who had people inside.
That U-Haul is a 13000 pound method of death and destruction being driven like that on a public roadway, the officer did the right thing by putting a stop to it before that maniac murdered someone on the highway. Good job
So glad you approve,drama queen.
@@mikechecka292 what the heck is drama queen supposed to mean, had that maniac taken out one of your loved ones I bet you wouldn’t have such an obtuse comment.
Anyone who DOESN'T think that U-Haul IS a weapon, needs help. It's horrible to have to take the shot, but when you give a man no choice he will HAVE to stop the threat.
Of course it can be a weapon, however at no point in the video does driver try to "hit" civilians as the officer falsely claims. Why would a suspect fleeing risk being slowed down by collision? Clearly any swerving occurred due to spike strip, making deadly force 100000% unjustified when claiming he tried to kill people.
@@adambpm are you dumb? He tried to Ram officers cars, DID Ram a civilian car and was driving wrong side of the road nearly hitting others… your not very bright
@@adambpm 1:22, the suspect swerves out of his lane and intentionally strikes a silver SUV head on. Deadly force was justified due to these actions under Tennessee V Garner, which is why the GBI cleared this deputy of any wrongdoing months ago.
You are either stupid, blind or both. Go be a poster child for abortion somewhere else.
@@adambpm The fact that you would even attempt to rationalize the behavior of the U-Haul driver, and nitpick the officers shooting tells me all I need to know of you. It's great you are voicing "your" opinions(received opinion) and always continue to speak "truth" to power.
@@reaper215 When did I ever "rationalize" criminal behavior??
Finally a police officer that knows how to stop a chase !! GREAT JOB 👍
That cop is an absolute gangster for pulling that shot off. My arm would be absolute jello from adrenaline and trying to stay on the road lmao.
A statement released Tuesday by the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office reads in part:
"During this chase, Mr. Harris fled from law enforcement at speeds that exceeded the speed limit by more than 20 mph, and in traffic conditions which placed the general public at risk of receiving serious injuries. Mr. Harris was therefore committing the felony crime of Fleeing or Attempting to Elude Police Officer, OCGA 40-6-395. Harris also intentionally drove the U-Haul toward other people, including the pursuing officers, thereby committing the felony offense of Aggravated Assault, OCGA 16-5-21.
"Given that the nature of Mr. Harris’s driving made him a suspected felon, officers were permitted to use deadly force to apprehend him because it was reasonable to believe that Mr. Harris posed an immediate threat of physical violence to every other person on the road. Additionally, a vehicle, like Mr. Harris’ vehicle, is an object which when used offensively is likely to result in serious bodily injury, which means the Deputy was also permitted to use deadly force to protect others from Mr. Harris’s commission of the offense of Aggravated Assault. While Georgia law does not require officers to try to use less than lethal force in these situations prior to using deadly force, the fact that deputies tried and failed to bring the U-Haul to a stop with spike strips further demonstrates the danger Mr. Harris’s driving presented during this chase.
"Following a thorough review of the facts of this case and the relevant law, the District Attorney finds that the deputy who used deadly force against Mr. Harris was justified in doing so and did not violate the laws of the State of Georgia. Therefore, the District Attorney’s Office declines to prosecute the deputy for shooting Mr. Harris. The District Attorney’s Office has spoken with Mr. Harris’ family to explain our analysis of this matter and we sympathize with Mr. Harris’ resulting medical condition. The District Attorney’s Office considers the review of this deputy’s use of force closed."
Whats the condition of that suspect?
So if cops think you're a danger on an empty road, they can kill you... noted.
@@I_Am_Warden, that was clearly not an empty road! I mean, the U-Haul driver already struck one vehicle head-on as he was speeding out of the gas station and could have potentially killed the occupant(s) of that car! Plus he was weaving in and out of lanes and even drove on the opposite side of the road onto oncoming traffic with his lights off, so I have no sympathy for him getting shot because he clearly broke the law and many traffic violations and put innocent people’s lives in danger!
@@thunderbear0 Spinal cord injury.
@@I_Am_Warden Yes, driving 20 mph over the speed limit on a relatively empty road grants them the right to empty a clip into you .🙄. I support the police, but this is what we don't want, I just don't think the shooting was justified by the crimes of Mr.Harris, etc. I wish we had more information.
I saw those gas prices in the beginning and i was like “no way”. Checked the date the footage is from, “oh”.
Well done, he obviously didn’t care to have his life anyway and I’m really surprised he didn’t kill any one, he was definitely trying to. Mad respect to the officer. Thank you Sir
Them boys ain't playing around no more.
@@adisrael.4537 Fact check = FALSE Look it up. Studies show a reluctance to shoot a certain protected group. This group should not be named because of their protected status.
You sir protected a family from that driver. Think of the children or mother he was trying to kill. He was clearly trying to use that truck as a deadly weapon and you did what you had to do. It’s a shame that you have to live with doing the right thing but question nothing. Thank you for your service and many years to come. Stay safe
Give that deputy a medal, and a raise!
This should be a standard practice when someone uses a deadly weapon such as a vehicle like this. This removes chances of innocent people being harmed by an idiot driving the deadly weapon. Too many times, chases like this continues till they wreck into a someone innocent
Good shot and all but are we all going to ignore the fact that this officer is taller than his Tahoe??? Dude is an absolute unit.
he really is wtf
I feel bad for that cop, you can tell he feels really bad about having to shoot someone, i hope he got counselling afterwards.
I could see in how he was pacing, he was upset. He had no choice shooting was justified
@spidy9237 What no it wasnt.... But the cop still did the right thing wtf are you talking about?
@Faze King123 so running from the police and slamming into innocent people with a uhaul does not meet your criteria to be shot?
Cop/cops were 100% in the right in this case. They tried every means possible to them to get the guy to stop to no avail. Sorry the cop had to go through this. He certainly handled the entire situation well...kept very calm throughout most of the pursuit and understandably seem to lose his emotions after shooting suspect.
Why would he need counseling? He’s not a snowflake.
Great job Officers!
update; The extremely foolish driver is now paralyzed from his dangerous actions! More important though, the innocent drivers he hit was not seriously injured and the Officer that fired his weapon at the truck was not charged. Fantastic work!
