Dramatic footage recently released by police in Iowa shows an officer clinging to the hood of a car after the driver decided to take off during a traffic stop in March 2021. The officer seriously injured his back in the incident. The suspect was sentenced to up to five years in prison earlier this month.

That was just the new Lethal Weapon trailer coming to theaters, looks pretty good actually.
Then what?? Link??
I'm guessing that's not within department policy
The officer certainly made a poor choice and deviated from correct procedure by jumping on the hood of the car.
Dennis Guider Jr was convicted in this case of causing serious injury by vehicle, a felony. He pleaded out of another felony for eluding. Dennis Guider Jr also had at that time an Illinois warrant for probation for forgery. He has felony convictions in Illinois for forgery, passing forged documents, residential burglary, burglary and ID theft related to that crime, and is reported to have stolen a vehicle after the March 2021 crime. Dennis Guider Jr appears to have made many poor choices.
Dennis Guider Jr was sentenced in Illinois to five years in prison in 2015, six years in prison in 2016, and two years in prison in 2022, but seemingly did not serve his complete sentence for any of these incarcerations. Possibly the Illinois DOC made some poor choices.
I want to know how he got into that position to start with? Can we roll back the body cam a couples minutes? Because if he climbed onto the hood voluntarily then he needs to be fired.
you can count on a suspect to act recklessly, an officer however never should act so recklessly. the suspect didn't make him jump on the hood of that car, the officer willing did so.. and put his life at jeopardy. not a smart move, hope he is alright and has learned a lesson.. that was incredibly dumb..
Just shoot the darn tires and radiator.
Why don't they ever just shoot the tires out???
If it was black driver thou instantly headshot ๐ฅ
I would of got off the car before he started speeding up getting on the hood was a mistake this is not a movie
IF YOU GOING TO JUMP ON A CAR TRYING TO BE A HERO ๐ I DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR YOU WHITE COPS DO TO MUCH
I see why it cuts off he falls off and breaks his back def should of not been ontop of it or jumped off quickly and returned to chase in a fellow car
Hilarious!!!!!!!!! My dad showed me this to make me laugh! Only in America ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ flipping dangerous!
Can you imagine what would happen to a black driver?????
The officer should have shot. The car was used as a deadly weapon.
Down boy! Down! Bad cop! Bad cop! Woof woof!
So…why did he get on top of the hood?
I read a lot of dred judges that the cop should have just killed the driver……An unarmed driver who didn't want to surrender….he had to kill him and handcuffed him! ! !…..ฮ
We have unfortunately seen many policemen killing unarmed citizens and then handcuffing their dead bodies…..Absolutely ridiculous….If that's the case we don't need police officers with intelligence and training….
Otherwise, we can get a plumber, an electrician….put him in a uniform….give him a gun….and tell him..Anyone who doesn't surrender regardless of whether he has a gun….kill him and Handcuff him! ! !…..Very simply, the police must be properly trained to be able to arrest unarmed citizens alive and take them to court…. and not dead.
In short….the Police wants Training and Smart people!
Needless to say, this untrained policeman was idiot who jump on the car.
The cop is an absolute tool !
The cop is an absolute tool !
The Officer should have just unloaded his gun.
Cop made a bad decision…u never climb on top of a fleeing person's car.
that Cop has Balls! wow!!!
One minute of pure America.
why would officer put himself in such a dangerous position? rookie or just gung ho and not too sharp
โดAny other officer in another city or state would of shot, but now a days officers will be jailed if they try to stop people who pose danger to them indirectly, so I could relate to that officer not firing the gun, thinking about his life ending not by the crazy person but by the justice system taking his job away and his life legally. Sad in many ways, sometimes cops do need protection, bad apples ruin it for the good ones. It hurts to see this.
For that officer's safety, he never should've jumped on the car.
Honest to God, this is literally the cops ๐ฎ๐ปโโ๏ธ fault itโs not police protocol to jump on a hood of a moving car ๐
