IPD dash cam of suspect shooting at Sgt. Steven Boles, who was on the ground. Officer Barry Huwar was across the street responding in when he saw it happen right in front of him. He thought Sgt. Boles was down and took action. Huwar put four rounds thru his own windshield. He also ran over the suspect who went down from Sgt. Boles putting two rounds in him as well. Huwar also had an 18 YO female ride along that night. She got what she was looking to see and more! Both officers are OK and the suspect just got 30 years.

i have to say that was awsome.... the best part is listening to the girl later on telling her mom what happened......
That's the same training that the parks and wildlife officer used against the 2 cop killers at walmart a few months back...
Brilliant.

The best part is how you can hear the whiny bitch perp whining about getting run over/shot. The worst part about the whole story besides these cops having to live through it is that the asshole didn't get his head exploded by the crown vic differential, and that tax payers will be paying for 3 hots and a cot for him for the next 30 years.
I am a firm believer and big proponent of running bad guys over with our vehicles when the opportunity presents. His decision and actions to engage and attack were awesome. Big kudos!

"Never bring a knife to a car fight." Great response in the comment section of that sweet vid!
That video was great. The girl made me laugh. I'm glad all the officers and the ride-a-long are alright.
I'd run someone down and shoot through my windshield at someone if I had to. That other officer was lucky the other was nearby or things could have been a lot worse.

True, but from the sounds of it, he got two into the guy before he got run over, so I'm pretty sure he would have come out on top even if backup hadn't been there. Quite the epic shooting stance too! Lol....

True, but the guy was still discharging his firearm at the officer. A few bullets in someone doesn't always stop them in their tracks and make them so they are no longer a threat. Either way glad that the situation worked out for the officers involved this time.
I think i would have had to finish him off after i ran him over.
THe only thing that pisses me off about this situation is the dude gets 30 years, but the terrorist who tried to blow up the building in Dallas only got 24. Should be the death penalty IMO

I have made it clear to just about every officer I work with that if their in trouble (deadly force situation) to stay the hell out of the way when I come flying up because if I got a clear shot I'm not hitting the brakes.
I did a police evoc simulator with a active shooter situation and instead of stopping, I rammed the bad guy at 45 mph. The instructor was like.... well that's one way to eliminate the threat...
The funny thing was that when they replayed the senario with the synced audio and video of me, the instructor said i had pure "I will end you" look in my eyes and my transcript of the radio was something along the lines of "shot fired!! Oh fuck you dude" then the sound of engine revving
Must have been pretty realistic for you to get into "kill bad guy now" mode to save your virtual partner.
I wonder if they saved that footage for future training use :lol: ?

Yeah it was... it was one of the sims that used the actual dashboard and driver compartment of a tahoe, 180* of TV screens... all the tactile feetback of actual driving and the only thing missing was the feel of g forces
