Cops At Work

This video was taped just eight months after Constable Darrell Lunsford was shot and killed while on a traffic stop in Garrison. During the stop, Constable Lunsford found marijuana in the trunk of the suspect’s vehicle. The three suspects then jumped Constable Lunsford and shot and killed him with his own service weapon. The entire incident was videotaped by the video camera in Constable Lunsford’s patrol car. Because of the video tape, the three suspects were arrested, tried and convicted of his murder.

This situation is very similar to Lunsford’s fatal encounter. But the trooper was saved because of the actions he learned from watching Lunsford’s dashcam tape. One of the suspects pulled out a gun to kill the trooper but was shot in the process. After another attempt to kill the trooper, he was once again shot repeatedly but after this, he died from his wounds at the scene. The other two suspects escaped that night, but the next day they were found and arrested.

Officer Matt Fey of the North Las Vegas Police Department conducts a routine traffic stop on a vehicle that ran a stop sign. Officer Fey becomes suspicious of the occupants due to their nervous behavior during questioning. When the defiant driver repeatedly ignores an order to keep his hands on the steering wheel, Officer Fey is forced to spray him with mace. Surprisingly, the desperate driver escapes the officer’s grasp and takes off in the vehicle. The suspects lead several units into a desert area where the driver bails out of the vehicle. He’s eventually captured in some nearby brush by a swarm of officers. When asked why he ran, the driver says that he was recently released from prison and did not have a license. He’s charged with felony evading, resisting arrest and possible drug possession. The passenger admits to steering the vehicle for the blind driver for fear of his life. He’s charged with obstructing and evading.

The suspense music made me think that the guy coppers were fighting is going to turn into zombie.
