If this vehicle runs over me, you know, i m probably going to die. we can t see it on dash cam, but the driver jerks the car to the right. i remember getting thrown onto the pavement. and then i remember feeling the back tire running over my leg. at that instant, two officers who heard the call on the radio arrive on the scene. i remember two female officers yelling my name. brenda, keep breathing. brenda, stay with me. stay with me. i thought i had heard, you know, don t die. and at that moment, i started kind of wondering if my legs were gone. another officer gives chase and captures it all on his dash
He pulls into a parking lot. the officer thinks the driver may be impaired so she radios for backup. i notice his eyes were really glassy. i knew the driver, i recognized his face. i just couldn t remember his name. then it hits her. wait amin ut. this is armando torres.
6, 2009, in kansas city, missouri. dean mcginnis is a veteran with the kansas city police department. he and his partner start their shift at 3:00. often the officers will ride together. but today they re taking separate cars. after more than ten years working the same beat together, mcginnis and turner rely heavily on one another. we deal with a little bit of everything, disturbances, robberies, stealing, you name it. after a few hours on traffic duty in ruskin heights, a call comes over the radio with few details. all they know is a car has crashed into a tree just a few blocks away. it was a non-injury, vehicular, a car into a tree, which is a pretty nondangerous call. only officer turner is dispatched to check out the scene. mcagainis stays back to continue
he is a known felon and previously assaulted her in 2005. i get into a lot of altercations when i m trying to restrain people. just as it all comes back to her, the officer remembers something else too. i looked back to the rear side window, and i noticed white writing. it had phat tee shirts. and when i saw that, i remembered several hours earlier, a complaintant had tried to report his vehicle stolen. the driver overhears her radio call, and the situation is about to go downhill fast. officer bermudez sees the drover
Running radar. as i drove a little further towards the accident, i saw a hispanic male wearing a white tee shirt, and i slowed down, looked at hull in my rear view mirror, and it crosses my mind, i wonder if he mows anything about the accident or maybe he was involved in it. as officer turner pulls up, there s no driver in skiegt. over the radio, he learns that a latino man was driving the suv. i asked if he would stop the male. coop of shocking that somebody could just walk away from that. responding to his partner s call, mcginnis takes off in search of the man and sees him walking into pa nearby park. there was something odd, something more to what he was doing than just walking away from a vehicular to maybe avoid a ticket. mcginnis radios turner for back up and tells him to meet
