DAYTIME COLOR DASHCAM WITH AUDIO, COPS IN HOT PURSUIT OF CAR, GUY GETS OUT ON FOOT AND COPS CHASE HIM, CAN’T HIT HIM WITH CAR, THEY GET OUT AND CHASE HIM ON FOOT AS WELL
Officer Jim Simoni is in the lead as more than two dozen officers pursue a suspect through the darkened streets of Cleveland. The massive response is due to the fact that the suspect allegedly attacked a state trooper, rammed a cruiser and dragged a cop down the road. To make things worse, he's carrying a large gun while he drives. Officer Simoni has IDed the suspect and it appears he's heading home. The suspect drives slowly, but tensions are high as the suspect approaches his house. The suspect pulls into his driveway. As officers approach, he jumps out of the car pointing a .357 Magnum at them. He's hit with pepper spray, but refuses to drop the gun. When it looks like he's about to open fire, the officers are left with no other option but to open fire. The suspect and Officer Simoni go down in the volley of bullets. Both men are placed in cruisers and rushed to the hospital. The suspect is seriously injured, but Officer Simoni is a lot better off, thanks to his body armor. In fact, he gets to go home after a few hours of treatment.
