Yo, this is a pretty wild video out of Charleston County, South Carolina, and it tells you a whole lot about what police officers are faced with on a daily basis.
This may seem like your everyday traffic stop — the car being pulled over for swerving — however, the man in the passenger seat is a convicted felon, and officers spoke with him for about five minutes before asking him to get out of the vehicle.
Here's what happened when they did that (I'm going to warn you that while you don't see blood, the perp gets smoked in this video).
[Warning: Graphic and very loud video incoming]
VIDEO AT LINK..................
Man, those two officers are lucky to be alive.
The speed at which they were both able to take cover is just beyond comprehension.
That training sure paid off.
The incident happened in Ravenel shortly before 4:00 p.m. when Deputies Evan Cubbage and Alexander Hodge conducted a traffic stop on a black Crown Victoria…
The suspect, identified as James Pierce (28) of Walterboro, was hit and died at the scene.
Deputy Cubbage was also shot three times.
Always sad to see a life go like that, even if it is a bad guy.
The Charleston County Sheriff's Office shared the full video on Facebook:
Notice how when asked if there were any firearms in the vehicle the answer was "no."
Seriously, the police deal with a lot more than we think they do.
So next time you see a protest break out over a man who's been shot by police, I want you to ask some serious questions about how it happened and what led up to the shooting.
Because it's not always as simple as what they tell you on CNN.
[T]he deputies involved in the shooting are on paid administrative leave, per protocol. While the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is investigating the deputy-involved shooting, the sheriff's office said it conducts an internal investigation into all shootings involving its deputies.
I don't disagree with this rule.
Probably a good rule.
Keep up the good work, boys in blue.
No it's not.
It all happens quick. second guessing these things is unrealistic.
Curly Bill said it best......................
Remember that when it's a citizen acting in self defense or defense of others.
The negro perp got whacked. A good day.
A police officer is 40 times more likely to be killed by a black person than vice versa.
You wouldn’t know that from the George Floyd et al demagoguery.
It was 16 times more likely before FJB (AKA Obama in an earpiece) greenlit the police.
I watch many videos on youtube from police departments featuring dashcam/bodycam videos of gun fights. Many of them are damn scary and spooky.

I have a few questions..
1) If they pulled over the car for swerving, why did they approach on the passenger side?
2) Why were they not speaking to the driver, if the vehicle was pulled over for swerving.
3) What prompted the roadside interrogation?
4) What action prompted the officer asking the perp to step out of the vehicle?
Non of these legitimate questions were addressed in the article.
Seeing the perp killed does not bother me in the least. Quite the opposite.
Unrelated but involving cops. Yesterday the a Deputy headed East at high speed,
five minuets later Highway Patrol headed West at higher speed,
10 minutes later another Deputy headed East at high speed,
an hour after that two Deputies headed East at high speed. Later in the evening an ambulance headed East at high speed.
Not normal goings on for our little state highway. Maybe see something in the police blotter but we usually don’t when it is serious stuff.
Just odd. Increasing violence where it was not before fueled by the pot growers.
You don’t rise to the level of the situation. You fall to the level of your training.
(the perp gets smoked in this video)
Brought back memories of the 1960s when blacks were often called “Smoked meat!”
I never referred to them as that but some of the Southern boys in the military did.
Aren’t the majority of the illegal dope grows in California manned by Mexican or Chinese nationals?
Went to the link, this is what I got. Someone does not want us looking at that video.

And the LORD said, “Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead?”
... may happen more often that we imagine.
I live across the street from our county EMS HQ.
They are coming and going 24/7...................
Yep. Me too.
Not the Bee via other means didn’t work either.
Same here.
