Body Cam Theater! Today’s Episode: “Don’t Bring a Car to a Gunfight”

As you all know I’ve been on a hiatus lately. My absence leaves me with the feeling that I’ve deprived you all with a lack of gore. So I did my due diligence and found a pretty good body cam to satisfy your lust for seeing bad guys put down. Actually, there’s not a whole lot of gore to be seen here, but it is satisfying to see a police officer fire multiple rounds through an animal’s windshield, striking him in the face, as he tried to run him over, and watch the car slowly careen into a telephone pole as the driver expires.

Now let me say this. I may or may not have tried to run over someone in my youth. In a controlled environment it’s not as easy as it seems. I may or may not have chased this meth head around a parking lot in my vehicle, hoping to strike him with said car. In close quarters, that’s hard to do. You can dodge left or right quicker than a car can trap you. But what this dickhead tried to do, which is to run over a police officer, and he DELIBERATELY tried to do, as you will see, is another situation entirely.

Criminal tries to run over cop. Cop shoots him in the face case closed in my opinion.

The Waukegan Police Department released graphic footage Wednesday of an officer-involved shooting that left a 35-year-old man dead on Super Bowl Sunday of last year.

Three videos — two from the body cameras of Waukegan officers, and one from the cell phone of an independent witness — clearly show the moments before and after an officer fired three fatal shots through the windshield of Asuncion J. Gomez-Guerrero’s car on Feb. 3, 2019.
Released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request by the News-Sun, the footage comes in the wake of two lawsuits filed against the city of Waukegan and its officers in connection with the incident, which took place on the street outside the Gomez-Guerrero family home in Waukegan.

In the body camera footage, Waukegan Police Officer Rolando Villafuerte can be seen parking and exiting his cruiser in front of a silver sedan parked on the side of the street.

The videos then show Villafuerte approaching the hood of the silver car as Gomez-Guerrero, who was behind the wheel, backed the car up several feet. While the car backed up, Villafuerte appears to continue moving toward the hood of the car, and can be heard yelling, “Hey, hey, turn it off, turn it off, don’t, you know … hey, (expletive)!”

Yeah, that expletive was ‘motherfucker.’ An appropriate description of the scum bag. And so why didn’t this thug obey? Personally, if I was him, I would have put in park and shut down the car. I’m guessing he did what he did out of stupidity but I’m open to other thoughts.

Then, Gomez-Guerrero appears to turn the wheels of the car left, and accelerates forward. At the same time, Villafuerte puts his left hand on the hood of the car, moves to his right, pulls out a firearm with his right hand, and fires three shots through the windshield.

The videos then show Villafuerte, weapon drawn, standing by the side of Gomez-Guerrero’s car as it rolls slowly down the street, where authorities say it eventually crashed into a telephone pole a block away. Views of the incident are more obscure in the third video, taken from a bystander’s cell phone at a location far down the street.

HAHAHAHA! I absolutely love seeing a car being driven by a dead man hit stuff. I may or may not have seen this before too. Let’s watch the video. 🙂

Following an investigation into the incident by the Illinois State Police last year, Lake County State’s Attorney Michael Nerheim released a report in August stating that Villafuerte acted “reasonably and appropriately” in using deadly force during the incident.

The lawsuits, however, claim that Gomez-Guerrero was “no threat” as he tried to turn his car away from officers, and that Villafuerte “continued to insert himself in front of the moving vehicle.”

Yes, a cop trying to prevent a dickhead from escaping, and is about to get run over, defended himself.

Even if the accusations were true against this cop, which they are not, why was the suspect trying to run? Could it possibly be because he was a bad guy?

”Any reasonably trained police officer would understand (Gomez-Guerrero’s) actions to mean he was attempting to turn his car away from the police officer,” according to one complaint.

I have no clue what you are looking at, shithead. What I saw was a thug trying to kill a cop by means of motor vehicle. The officer acted in self defense. Someone tries to kill me with a car, I’d shoot them in the face too.

Go fuck yourself, ambulance chaser. We’re all better off now that Gomez Guerrero is stiff.
