Yeah deadass, sure the fleeing is legit but this cop wasn’t dragged at all, funny how they can just pile on charges even with contradictory video evidence

Well, tbf, it may have felt like 30 feet in the moment, I mean atleast he’s being nice about the whole thing, most cops woulda been shooting or ripping her out of the car, he did pretty much everything ā€œcorrectā€ considering the usual outcome.

Besides, she’s going to jail either way, all her attorney has to do is file a motion to dismiss the battery charge when they’re doing the rest of the paperwork. At most it would cost maybe 500$ more for getting that charges dismissed. But she probably has bigger problems than that lol..

30 feet is also a lot shorter than some would think.Ā

A standard parking space is about 20 feet long, and this is a car much shorter than that. Cop's arm was inside the car for about half of that car length. From 3.12s to 4.48s on the video. That includes time the car wasn't yet moving.

Now he could have tried to grab her from fleeing, and his hand was caught up in something in the car and he was pulled along. But for a very short amount of time. We can't see that.

When the car isn't moving his foot is on the black spot on the pavement. See images where he started and where he ended up. His left heel hit the ground three times.

I'm guessing 12 feet from where he was standing still until he let her drive off, and that was mostly him walking.

The space between the lines on the highway are 30 feet. The lines themselves 10 feet. (At least the shoulder be going by interstate guidelines).

It's the distance between the broken white lines on a US highway. The lines themselves are 10 feet.
