Florida cop dragged by car during traffic stop

Shocking video of a Florida traffic stop shows a driver speeding off and an officer springing into action.

The Fort Myers officer jumped into the moving car through the
driver-side door, and while the officer escaped uninjured, the driver is
now in the Lee County Jail.
"One of the officers is reaching in an attempt to extract the driver
he's caught in the vehicle and he has a choice to make - take a chance
of getting run over by the vehicle or get inside the vehicle he chose to
get in the vehicle and attempt to stop it," explains Fort Myers Police
Department Captain Dennis Eads.
Police say the altercation continued for an entire block before ending.


"He's in the vehicle with the driver in the driver compartment and
eventually he's able to turn the steering wheel and get the keys," said
Eads.
He wrestled the keys from the driver, Keith White.


White was arrested for aggravated battery on an officer and resisting arrest.


"This individual has a warrant for driving on a suspended driver's
license, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and carrying a
concealed firearm," said Eads.
Both the officers escaped without injury.


"Had the officer became disengaged and pulled underneath the vehicle,
he would have been run over and quite possibly dragged," said Eads.By Kevin Held

  • The cop should've simply shot the stupid bastard. Now we have to pay the room and board for this waste of oxygen.

    • @staxman 2 cops sitting there... one should have his taser ready, especially if the guy lied about his information as they say in the front of the video intro.

      Taze him.. or simply shoot out his tire.... so much safer. This was horrible executed by the cops.... piss poor training and judgement.

    • @qwerty4242 Shoot out his tire? Safer? Been watching too much tv or something.

      I'm guessing you believe in "shooting to wound" too.

  • Real smart jumping into a moving car dumbass

    reminds me of that other pig video where he jumps on the hood of the car as it's moving then fires bullets into the driver for driving off. Shouldn't have jumped in the car in the first place dip shit

  • Would be good for a flashlight commercial/presentation. Hard to tell if it was the larger maglite type or if it was like a surefire.

    Hmmmmmmm....

  • Cops in Florida can be complete assholes. They lie and cheat to get common joes in jail to pay their wages any ways they can, sometimes.

    What I see here? They invade the vehicle, very unslick like, without driver approval or warrant, so the case will get thrown out in the drivers favor.

    And if he did run over the cop.... that was the cops retarded choice to run TOWARDS THE PATH OF A MOVING VEHICLE. They will always try to flip it around and call the guy a wannabe cop killer, when all he did wa More..
