Michigan State Police trooper pulls unconscious driver out of burning vehicle on I-94

Dashcam footage shows a Michigan State Police trooper pulling an unconscious driver out of a burning pickup truck on eastbound I-94 Tuesday morning.

Officers were dispatched to the area of I-94 and Haggerty Road near Belleville in Wayne County at around 6:15 a.m. for a car and attached boat engulfed in flames, according to officials.

Troopers found the driver, a 63-year-old male, slumped over the steering wheel unconscious. An officer attempted to break the passenger side window using his baton, having to then use his hands to push the window in due to tints on the front windows, sustaining cuts to his arms and hands, according to officials said.

You support and fund the jobs the cops should be doing, move funding from SWAT to social services, stop giving cops military surplus hardware, ban choke holds, more accountability and f**k the thin blue line bee ess.

Cops do not hold back a flood of chaos and anarchy, they should be there to respond to accidents, natural disasters, search and rescue, and of course responding to crimes.

And, that it is the job we want our police doing?

I only ask because you responded...

“True, but”..

“But” typically indicates an area where there is divergence or disagreement.
