This is why my parents always told me to not play in the street.

Speed bumps, probably some went 'crunch'.

Street racing. It's a known group(which also commits a lot of drive bys) that terrorizes the general area and tries to mob intersections/parking lots in such numbers that police are overwhelmed. This isn't the first time they have attacked police cars(including Tacoma PD cars) and I would be 100% not shocked at all to learn later on in the investigation that a gun or other weapon was displayed at the officer by the group mobbing his car just prior to their impromptu physics lesson.

So, they are pounding on the vehicle and pushing it backwards, overcoming the idle / low power engine torque.  And then ... oh, well.

They chose to fuck around with a 5000 pound vehicle.  They chose to put the officer in that position.  They earned the consequences of fucking with someone who probably never drove a manual transmission, and didn't think to double foot the controls.  Oh, fucking well.

Drive to 3/Yesler in Seattle if you want to relive your youth. You wait 10 minutes and you can snap a photo of 30 crack dealers making hand to hands in front of the county courthouse while an SPD cruiser sits at a red light 10 feet away from them.

I would NOT fuck with Tacoma cops.... lol when there's been bad riots in my town, they normally call in some Tacoma cops to put it down..... Met more than a few, I can totally see some of the guys I have met setting in that cruiser and saying "F this" and hitting the gas. lol Oh I got a call... got to GO......

In the incident you quoted the state patrol had shut down freeway access due to a large preplanned demonstration and the driver that ran over the protestors intentionally entered the freeway via an off ramp and proceeded the wrong way down the already closed off freeway, bypassing multiple traffic control barricades.

FYI in WA it is easier to charge police in self defense killings than it is to charge private citizens, your self defense claim just has to be reasonable. Driving the wrong way onto an exit ramp to access a closed freeway and running down pedestrians isn't reasonable, even if they shouldn't have been there in the first place... you'd still catch a vehicular assault/homicide charge for that if the freeway were in normal operation and you head on'ed with an innocent driver.

The reality is, if you play in the street and try and assault drivers, the morotist should be able to escape of defend themselves.  Now we are moving towards an environment where the police can defend themselves.... sometimes, but you as a citizen can't at all, like Rittenhouse.  We are alowing this.

This could go both ways; more context is needed. There's other videos on Twitter from the scene but they don't capture important things neither besides cars doing donuts and people crowding in the street.

Cop is fucked if he was only there to go after those cars doing donuts, and was not in any threat of harm from those people.

Cop will be ok if he was responding to a more serious emergency than cars doing donuts and the crowd was trying to prevent him from doing so, or if the crowd started to threaten the cop somehow besides just standing around and cheering.

So your solution rather than to drop charges against the citizen driver is to charge the cop?

Brilliant. Can’t imagine why America is going to hell.

I hope they did too, however, I say that because it'll give the defense for the cop much more ammo for court when his defense team claims that his life was in jeopardy due to the actions of the mob.

Used to be in WA you couldn’t really charge the police with manslaughter, because they didn’t have to be reasonable. You just had to prove they weren’t acting in good faith. Easy!

Keep in mind this generation is the same one that started the eating tide pods trend way back in 2013. It should come as no surprise that 8 years later they are not smart enough to get out of the path of a moving vehicle much less their ability to understand the consequences if someone doesn’t move.

The washington state patrol changed policy after this incident. They now will not allow freeways to be taken over. Mass arrests if they try.

It doesn't matter why the officer showed up. The officer had a legitimate fear when mobbed.
