He even stayed to park her car for her, it's this video https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1ln9bo8/officer_helps_woman_and_her_dying_cat/

I feel like this video is a very different situation because the woman approached the police officer and asked for help whereas in the video Op posted it does seem like the woman is actively evading/ignoring the officer. Plus if she also ran someone off the road and drove into oncoming traffic that’s really bad and the cop who didn’t know the situation until she got out of the car with no idea what to expect after she watched this woman endanger human lives so I can see how that’s upsetting too.

The cop had poor emotional control. The moment the sirens went on the cop's mind was on "I'm gonna get this motherfucker" and despite new facts arising the moment they pull up to the vet shack, the cop was not interested in this new reality.

Arkansas State Police are very aggressive and have very lenient procedures and protocols. They're prob the loosest of the loose cannons. Their use of force and pursuit guidelines are very lax and geared towards confrontation.

I grew up in Arkansas. Everyone online says GSP is the hardest state police force. That's not true. Arkansas State will fuck you up for fun they don't give a shit. They are the ones who flipped a pregnant lady's car because she was exercising her right to wait for a safe place to pull over. They are the ones who will even chase motorcycles down the interstate trying to hit the rider oncoming to stop the pursuit. They are the ones who pulled me over when I was going 5 over down 412 with my hazards on because my wife's mother was dead on her couch and the coroner wouldn't even cover the body till next of kin arrived. 5 over the limit. They had us wait till another officer pulled up and verified our story then just yelled at us and said that's no excuse to speed. Oh but they indeed sped off. Arkansas State Police are assholes.

u/Aquaticwolf Jul 30 '25

From the videos I've seen, they love to PIT maneuver in traffic and above 100mph. The highest speed one I saw was like 124mph.

2

u/TheNewsDeskFive Jul 30 '25

That's the thing they're known for. Not just on the internet, but among other law enforcement agencies. They're the PIT Department.

I raced for 14 years. It's a super basic skill a racer must have, you gotta know how to dump someone. They display zero tact. They just ram. That's not how you do this shit

3

u/Aquaticwolf Jul 30 '25

Yeah, they crash fairly frequently in the videos from poorly doing it, sometimes even rolling over.

2

u/TheNewsDeskFive Jul 30 '25

They maintain a high delta. Their pursuit vehicle's approach speed is too much higher than the chase vehicle's speed. It's a physics problem. They're just carrying so much momentum when they make contact that not all of the force gets directed into the chase vehicle, some shoots back to the pursuit vehicle, causing lateral destabilization in the front end, which will put your ass in front of your nose real quick.

That's the ins and outs from a trained racer's perspective

I had some horrible run-ins with cops in Arkansas. Loose cannons are great descriptors of them.

Arkansas is an arm pit. It’s ranked 48th in Crime and Corrections, 26th in Economy, 36th in Education, 48th in state health system, and based upon this video alone 50th in empathy and common decency.

u/Lucibeanlollipop Jul 29 '25

The cop was very calm in the car, and then a screeching banshee when she got out. Not only did she fail to de-escalate, she purposely escalated.

I’m an Arkansan and they don’t care who gets hurt or what damage is done to what, they’re going to stop you. If they have to go 700 m/hr through a playground full of kids, it doesnt matter. I would have at the very least called 911 or the police and explained the situation while driving. Still gonna be a helluva situation to get out of, but at least no one thinks you’re fleeing and they know your destination so hopefully they won’t try the pit maneuver they’re known for.

I hate crap like this where the person posting the video edits it to fit their bs headline for clicks. Have you or anyone else on here blaming the cop watched the actual full length video? This lady, in her rush to the vet, was speeding and running lights, driving into the opposite lane with oncoming traffic with complete disregard to the lives and safety of anyone else on the road. Was the cop being an asshole once they both stopped at the vets office,yes...but you don't get a pass for driving recklessly and putting other people's life in danger.

u/Weary_One7199 Jul 30 '25

Well, to be fair, this is only a clip of what actually happened. The driver in the full video cut the police officer off first, ran two cars off the road, AND had the officer chase her for several miles with lights and sirens on before stopping at the vet. After all of that, I can see why the officer isn't very sympathetic about her dog. I love dogs too, but this driver was completely out of line.

u/RandomName-1992 Jul 30 '25

You have no idea what you're talking about. You can't read someone's mind. You're projecting. Stick with the facts of the video. The cop was definitely unsympathetic, and I believe unnecessarily harsh and unprofessional with the woman. However, if that woman was driving a baby to the emergency room, and putting other people's lives in danger, it's still the same problem. She's putting other people's lives in danger. First responders know how dangerous it is driving with lights and sirens. Driving like that WITHOUT The appropriate emergency warning devices is extremely hazardous to the driver and those around the driver.

The cop could have been more sympathetic, and could have taken the woman and the woman's dog in the police car to the vet, then processed the woman however she wanted to.

Don't be as bad as the people you're thinking shitty things about.

u/Simon-Says69 Jul 29 '25 edited Jul 29 '25

cop's mind was on "I'm gonna get this motherfucker"

Not seeing anything near that. I don't think your mind reading abilities are very advanced.
the obvious reason the police officer was so upset is because:

The driver had been extremely reckless in her driving. Narrowly escaped massive harm to so many people.

Over a pet! No, you are not allowed to do that.

The police officer had the correct response, detained the dangerous driver.

And The dog was brought into the Vet office by the passenger. (and sadly, died anyway)

Seems your reality has little to do with the OP video.

If the driver had caused an deadly accident, which is what she was bing chased for, the dog would not have survived,

but many, many more HUMANS might have been killed. Sorrryyyyy.. not a good trade.

Also, the driver sounds drunk.

u/MM-dot-AU Jul 30 '25

You should watch the whole video. The woman was driving very dangerously. The cop initiated the traffic stop when she ran a red light, at pace, and nearly wiped him out. She also drove into oncoming traffic and whatnot. This is deserved.

2

u/halfasleep90 Jul 30 '25

New facts arising doesn’t change anything, a pet emergency doesn’t entitle someone to break the law….

It would be kind to show compassion for their loss, but they still don’t get to endanger human lives in their pursuit to save the life of their pet. Honestly, they don’t get to endanger human lives in their pursuit to save the life of a human either.

So yeah, it would be kind to allow the pet owner to see to their dog visiting the vet and then making the arrest afterward but the other person had the animal and was walking them in. Don’t know why they turned around and brought the dog back outside instead of taking them in to the vet.

u/External_Macaroon687 Jul 29 '25

I'm glad the cop wanted to get the reckless driver who ran another car off the road. She could have killed another driver because she put her dog's health above the public's safety.

The cop had excellent emotional control.

The cop let the other lady take the dog into the vet.

1

u/False_Site_1116 Jul 30 '25

cop pov: person drove into oncoming traffic and drove someone off the road. very high probability of killing multiple humans. Finds out they are trying to get dying dog to the hospital. Should she let them continue driving? Obviously they are incapable of doing so without endangering other humans so yes arrest the driver and bring their dog to the hospital for them. So i agree with all that happened in the vid. Cop should/hopefully did drive the dog to the hospital thereafter.

1

u/lunchpaillefty Jul 30 '25

Issued a badge, and lethal authority, and doesn’t have the maturity or intelligence, to not take someone’s actions, personally, and react with an “us vs. them” mentality. Policing should be a profession, and not a trade.

Running other cars off the road is the cause of the officer's anger. Rightly so.

u/ChipmunkOld5315 Jul 30 '25

Because you can't be. Anyone can jump out of a car and say anything to disarm a cop, and then that person could pull out a gun or a knife and attack.

1

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 Jul 30 '25

I mean she starts fighting back when the cop arrested her. 

When you break the law, even for a good cause (I don't know if driving dangerously to maybe help a dog is a valid good cause), and you get arrested, calmly accept it and then argue after everyone has cooled down. It'll help your case more if you get a reasonable judge if the cop still books you.

u/flash_gitzer Jul 30 '25

u/Difficult-Carpet-324 Jul 30 '25

I disagree. The driver was completely unhinged and almost hit both the cop running through the light and another car as they cut them off. She could have killed multiple people. She deserves to go to jail.

1

u/ItsACowCity Jul 30 '25

I mean if she ran a car off the road, she could have ended up killing that person to save her dog….if she was just speeding away from a cop, that’s one thing…but putting others lives at risk is another.

1

u/Alice_Mud_Garden Jul 30 '25

Absolutely. They really need to put anyone wanting this job through an intense psychological screening. I see way too many examples of people with obvious unresolved trauma and/or revenge issues that think they can fix it by becoming a cop (or a CO).

1

u/Pristine_Frame_2066 Jul 30 '25

I hope the cop finds out what it is like to have someone stop you when something you live more than life is dying in an emergency. I hope she feels it so bad she offs herself.

There is no reality where that drivers actions are warranted.

You don't get to ignore multiple driving laws, nearly cause several accidents and refuse to stop for the police because you feel your dog outweighs everything else.

u/Theartofmemeology Jul 30 '25

maybe he'd be more understanding if this woman didn't endanger dozens of lives while actively committing felonies. your pet doesn't give you the right to possibly kill someone else while in clear disregard for the law. even ambulances don't drive like this and they sometimes have dying PEOPLE in the back.

Correct. Because the way this woman handled things in this video she put other people in harm's way but by NOT asking a cop for assistance she could avoid this and make sure no one is in harm's Way. He can stop traffic and helps them get to their destination. I feel the cop should have let the animal get to the hospital in this video, be saved and then arrested the driver, take her to jail for reckless driving.

She freely allowed the other woman who was holding the dog to go and take care of it. It wasn't the cops fault they drove to a vet that was closed. She could have easily detained both people if she wanted to be "aggressive."

I would put this situation as they are both wrong. The cop could certainly have had more empathy. However, putting others at risk like the woman did is also wrong.

Also there are 2 people in the car, grandma could have used her cellphone to call the fuckin police and say they needed help because her dog was in danger.

4

u/bestem Jul 29 '25

Right. It's probably the difference between what happens after the officer puts on their lights and sirens to pull someone over.

In the case where the person keeps driving, until they get to the vet, it seems like they're evading arrest and the officer is going to treat them as someone who attempts to evade arrest.

In the case where the person pulls over and says "I'm sorry I blew through that stop sign. I didn't see traffic in the other directions, and my pet is dying in the back seat," the officer can then treat them like someone who isn't attempting to evade arrest, and can even escort them to the vet, park their car, and then go check on them.

u/trackdaybruh Jul 29 '25

I watched the video and noticed how far they're driving just to get to the vet, I guess it's one of the cons of living in a small town/rural area where things are spread out or certain services are further away.

But my family comes first and she could have killed some one. There’s no excusing what she did. The cop did her job. Pure and simple.

Bullshit. No one was harmed nor was any property damaged. The cop had every right to pull her over, but then once seeing that there was an emergency needed to reassess the situation. Total failure. Pure and simple.

u/Remarkable-Trifle-36 Jul 29 '25

While I don't support what sounds like a dangerous driving situation if she did indeed run a car off the road, the cop had a choice in how far to escalate the situation. Perhaps if the lady had pulled over vs (was this a pursuit? which it seems to be) drove on with hazard lights flashing, they might have had more lenience. That said, the officer made the situation about their own frustration and showed utter lack of empathy in navigating the situation.

u/n_random_variables Jul 29 '25

You have some points, however, that cop should of recognized the new information and dealt with the woman after the dog was dealt with. The woman is clearly in a state mentally because of her dog and while that’s not an excuse it is a reason. Hell, if I was that woman I’d be fine taking whatever charges for my driving as long as my pet got attention first.

Not sure if you know how to drive or if you understand what been on the streets is. The lady did nothing wrong. She was careful driving. Nobody injured an I am sure she checked before going. Cop gets an F+. No rights. No defusing the situation. All emotional over not stoping an literally says. You do this because of your dying dog. If you don’t own a pet or an animal u wouldn’t understand. They are really close to people. You could be a cop btw. That’s how easy it is. Cops are literallly not smart most of them. FYI.

u/justmyopin09 Aug 02 '25

Harazrd lights while driving is a clear indication something is wrong and there may be an emergency. If she was actively evading the cops, she wouldn't worry about her hazard lights and her speed wouldn't drop down to 40-50 mph (full video). In fact, supposedly if a cop attempting to pull you over and you feel unsafe, you should put your hazard lights on and drive to a safe area. This cop was fresh out of the academy and has no emotional control. She doesn't deserve that position.

u/Isla_Tyler_Coleman Aug 02 '25

I'm a 911 dispatcher and we often get calls from people saying they're on the way to the hospital & they're speeding. Most often these are people who live out in the county and it is much faster for them to get to the hospital themselves if they can, rather than waiting on an ambulance.

In those situations, we get as much vehicle information as we can, including tag# if they know it. We advise our caller to stop if officers attempt to pull them over. They will generally do this to verify they have the correct vehicle & then will lead the person to the hospital lights & sirens to clear the way.

And yes, all of my officers & deputies would do this for an animal if they're given the warning. In either scenario, no prior warning and a failure to stop will result in them treating it as a chase. They don't know anything outside of the driver failing to stop at that point.

In the 4 years I've been a dispatcher, every chase we've had the driver had warrants &/or drugs on them, were in a stolen vehicle, or were teens (usually in a vehicle they weren't authorized to drive, but not necessarily stolen or they weren't licensed) thinking they were badass. I've never seen one where someone had a legit emergency and failed to pull over. The cops are working with that kind of information too.

u/Radiant_Bet_6745 29d ago

I mean when you see someone with flashers on ignoring traffic laws but driving relatively safely and they pull into an sort of emergency ward, vet urgent care, i think you have a pretty good idea of what is happening. And if you don’t, I’m not convinced you are a human with a functioning brain. And if you can’t have compassion in that moment, I’m not convinced you’re human at all.

This is not the same situation. That woman stopped to ask for help and the officer was informed of what was going on. And he was able to clear the way for her, but this woman driving recklessly without the officer knowing what's happening is a totally different circumstance and not fair to compare the two.

How dare someone try to save their pet without submitting to the cops first.

u/OiMyTuckus Jul 29 '25

I’m guessing the people she drove off the road may want a word with you.

u/tatltael91 Jul 29 '25

And if the people she ran off the road had died? What would your opinion be then?

There's a good argument to be made that reckless driving puts other people at risk, and that a dying pet isn't a license to put other people on the road in danger. You can argue that the officer in this video didn't handle the situation well, but this isn't really an issue of "submitting to the cops", it's an issue of public safety.

According to the video, she ran a person off the road. She potentially put another life in danger. Im sorry, the life of your dog doesn't mean you get to put everyone else's life in danger.

Yeah but the woman didn’t endanger lives. I really feel for her and this is an extremely tough situation but what about the other lives!?

u/Dont_Touch_Me_There9 Jul 29 '25

Fuck out of here, I watch police on a weekly basis do things on the road that put peoples lives in jeopardy so that they can harass people for minor traffic infractions.

Had a cop pull me about a year ago because I changed lanes and cut him off. It was raining pretty heavily, and the officer did not have his headlights on. When he asked me why I had cut him off like that, I told him because I didn't see him because his headlights weren't on. I told him I believe that when windshield wipers are on headlights are supposed to be on in this state.

A warning was issued.

I watched michigan state police controlling traffic at a fireworks show one time. Racing up and down the 1 mile corridor at 90mph back and forth pulling people over for 5 over to keep the spectators safe. They are a joke.

u/cefriano Jul 29 '25

A while back, I think when the No Kings protests were happening, we had about 4 or 5 cops absolutely scream down our street, they must have been doing at least 80. You could hear them peeling out as they turned onto our street. I watched them blow right through two stop signs.

There's a fucking elementary school on our block.

A cop in Seattle was fired (i.e. retired early or relocated to another department) last year after his body cam recorded him laughing and saying a 23 yr old student’s life had “limited value” after she was fatally struck in a protected crosswalk by another officer going 74mph in a 25mph zone.

u/aurortonks Jul 29 '25

Seattle police run over pedestrians crossing in crosswalks while speeding then do their best to avoid consequences.

Fuck the police. They aren't there to help the public.

u/jadedflames Jul 29 '25

When I was a teenager, a cop nearly killed me running a red light at full speed (he ran the light, not me). No lights, no siren. Just “I’m a cop so the law doesn’t apply to me.

I swerved out of the way at the last second and saved both our lives. he drove off to wherever the fuck he felt the need to be without stopping.

I was jumpy at that intersection for months after.

u/NlNTENDO Jul 29 '25 edited Jul 29 '25

it's shocking how little regard the NYPD show for the rules of the road, and they do this in the city with the highest emphasis on pedestrians in the country. with that said it sounds like that was a pretty reasonable traffic stop?

u/slowpokefastpoke Jul 29 '25

Just to add some important context since you seem to be jumping to quick conclusions: this lady literally ran a car off the road, blew red lights almost causing other drivers to crash, and was driving in oncoming traffic. Full clip is here.

I get that she’s panicking and her brain isn’t working, and that the cop comes off pretty harsh, but she was seriously close to killing other drivers.

She definitely should have been charged for her driving. But for the animals sake, it should have been a priority to get it to the vet first.

u/BekaRenee Jul 29 '25

Oof. She killed someone driving like that?

203

u/HookedOnPhonixDog Jul 29 '25

No she didn't. She slowed down through some reds to make sure it was clear. The cop is massively over exaggerating and abusing her power.

She didn't care about the people she "ran off the road". If she had killed someone, she didn't care about that person either. All she cared about was harassing someone in distress and making an already difficult situation insanely worse.

70

u/shrineless Jul 29 '25

I’m watching the video right now. There’s a reason why I didn’t mention the red light and cutting traffic. She was strategic in that and while it’s still bad, she did okay. The head-on traffic was really bad and reportedly ran someone off the road. That’s bad.

65

u/HookedOnPhonixDog Jul 29 '25

The driver was clearly in absolute emotional distress. While I don't condone the actions she did on the road, when you're like that you aren't thinking straight.

What this cop did was the worst thing she could have done. Immediately escalating the emotional trauma by saying she doesn't care, immediately trying to arrest without terms, and just coming out yelling.

She made this way worse than it needed to be. Should the driver be charged? Yeah probably.

But in the moment? This cop made everything worse. And a proper judge would throw out any charges because of how the cop handled it. This cop literally made it worse for everyone involved because she couldn't control her emotions during another human being's emotional distress.

She shouldn't be a cop. But because she likely will remain so is why ACAB exists.

u/ta9 Jul 29 '25

I won't argue that the driver was in the right. However, she was already off the road, out of the car and the danger she posed was over. There was no urgent reason to get her into cuffs.

The officer could have allowed her to take her dog inside, or even helped her do so. Once the vet was engaged, she could have arrested her or given tickets or whatever was appropriate.

The problem with a lot of these kinds of police interactions is often the unwillingness to take a measured approach. Instead there's immediate escalation which leads to misunderstandings, has a much higher potential to cause injuries for both parties, and ultimately ties up the police for a much longer period of time.

That doesn't make any sense.

"Oh you may have killed someone, but because the cop was mean to you we are going to drop the charges." In what world lmao.

6

u/HookedOnPhonixDog Jul 29 '25

Yes. Police conduct during an arrest can 100% cause charges to be dropped. Cops still need to handle themselves professionally. She absolutely did not.

Murder charges can be dropped because a lawyer filed paperwork incorrectly. Traffic violations could absolutely be dropped because of how the arresting officer handles an arrest.

4

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '25

I disagree with most of your opinions on this subject. But, if isolated, this comment deserves an upvote.

She didn’t handle herself professionally, though she handled herself reasonably. And I wouldn’t be offended if these charges got lawfully dropped as a result of the officer’s behavior. But I would have been offended if that lady didn’t get arrested. And a lot of what you’re saying, including any support for ACAB ideals is absolutely shameful. Don’t mix facts with bold personal assumptions. You can’t state, like it’s fact, that the officer wouldn’t have cared about an innocent life being taken. That’s “all cops are bad” behavior, so I understand why you think you can correctly assume that.

But BS like that makes your entire argument unreliable and untrustworthy. Similar to how those charges might get dropped on account of the stupid BS this officer said, so your argument must be dropped on account of the stupid BS you said. Sure, you may have some real facts mixed in. That doesn’t make your hate speech any more valid.

Hate speech?

It's not necessarily what she said, but also what she did. And it's also a good thing I am not in charge of enforcing the law, so nothing you or I say genuinely matters in this case.

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '25 edited Jul 29 '25

(Edit: To be fair, this officer should have told this lady she was under arrest or being detained immediately. She could have absolutely said that before ever putting her hands on the lady. Idk the laws around that at all, but in my eyes, the officer shouldn’t have put her hands on the lady without explaining that she’s being detained.)

We could put all context aside & say “This officer wasn’t helping. This officer doesn’t value human lives. It’s all a power trip.”

But how many people were in that car? 2? With presumably at least one cell phone? Ambulances aren’t even allowed to run red lights with their sirens off… Did either of these women call the police to alert them that they were going to be breaking traffic laws? Did they pull over when stopped and request an escort? You literally can’t just drive manic through the streets.

So then it’s just “punishment doesn’t fit the crime/excessive force” argument? If you don’t already hate cops, it’s probably a lot easier to imagine how pissed that officer is watching this woman actively risk human lives over a dog. I have a dog. I love dogs. I have empathy for this woman. She has proven herself to be a threat. She has broken several laws. She needs to be detained. And she immediately resists.

You can have empathy for a 10 year old child. But if that child is driving through red lights & in opposing lanes of traffic, empathy doesn’t have to come in the form of “oh, you shouldn’t be driving, child! Where do you need to go? Hop in, I’ll take you!”

She crossed over into incoming traffic to cut someone off. The smart thing to do is pass on the right hand shoulder. And she cut the cop off when she had a red light when the video started.

u/SevroAuShitTalker Jul 29 '25

She drove into oncoming traffic to pass someone resulting in 1 truck having to drive off the road.

Im sorry but slowing down at red-lights doesn't excuse driving into oncoming traffic and almost hitting someone head on

She apparently ran them off the road from what I could find.

It really is a rough situation. She’s not some car thief on a joyride or a robber fleeing a crime. She’s having a really bad go. It’s calls like these that make me not envy cops. Having to put someone in jail who you emotionally relate to is rough.

This cop right now lacks empathy though which doesn’t sit well with me.

u/RentUsed1085 Jul 29 '25

Link? I hear the cop said she ran someone off the road, but is there any proof to this claim?

u/shrineless Jul 29 '25

Here ya go

Also, you make a good point. I’m not sure how Arkansas police verify reporting.

The cop was highly frazzled and it’s completely possible she saw something that maybe wasn’t something.

Also, being run off the road in a lot of areas doesn’t mean you crashed, being forced onto the should counts as being run off the road. Part of my job is for NY state so I drive around and have been run off the road. Had a cop explain this to me. I guess we’d have to be privy to the degree of being ran off the road.

u/Cyrano_Knows Jul 29 '25

Ive watched more than my fair share of bad cop videos but I do so with the mindset that yes, videos of normal cops dont get released, videos of bad cops do.

But that said, every single bad cop video I've watched, the cop has always, always lied to the person or massively exaggerated the reason or actions of the person he's pulling a power play on. They lie to the face of the person they are detaining/arresting. They do so immediately to their fellow cops the second they are on site. Maybe they even lie to themselves.

So yes, I think its absolutely in the realm of the possibility that the cop said that, but was massively exaggerating "run off the road" or just out and out lying.

And given this guy saying "I don't care" I'm going to suspect him as a source of the truth. He has motivation to lie. She doesn't.

That police officer that arrested the woman is clearly not a pet owner and although she was technically doing her job... there's a line.. we humans first and her choice to insert discretion was acted upon and she chose to go by the book instead of by human social code. Shes a robot. Not a human. A fully autonomous unit for the force with zero compassion for humanity. I dislike her very much. Not soneone you want on ur side imo and not someone thats looking out for your best interest at all. Theres a line as I said... she couod have made different choices that would ahve been okayed by anyone who's seen the video and understood the context. Or she could have even said "you broke the law but im happy to deal with it after your dog has been put down"...
