I get the cop injured himself, but the article says the person ignored the officers directions and took off? That’s still an entire issue on its own.

Yes, but the cop outright lied by claiming he was hit.

The driver should get their $200 fine, but the cop essentially attempted to frame another person.

They cover that part at the end of the news video in the link. It’s a misdemeanor with a max fine of $200 plus court costs.

The driver heads west on S. Millbend Dr. in a white Honda Civic, ignoring McLaughlin’s signal to stay put.

And here’s the win for the driver: The video shows his car never hit the constable, and it also shows McLaughlin kicks the car and then falls to the ground.

Terribly written article, should have been mentioned right there. They talk about the fine after they talk about ring doorbells….
