Good Samaritans Help Police Officer During Traffic Stop

Police outside of Cleveland, Ohio, are praising a group of citizens who helped an officer. A police officer pulled over 64-year-old David Koubeck during a routine traffic stop. He stepped out of the vehicle and continued to refuse the officer’s orders, which led to a physical struggle. Good Samaritans, including Stacia Metucci, ran to help the officer. A second police officer arrived and they were able to put the driver in handcuffs.

[@hope2bhelpful95]

I agree the gentle wasn’t following verbal commands but instead of giving him time to process what he was being told she physically shoved him hard and expected him not to return it. One thing everyone fails to understand is that when a person is physically attack the natural fight/ flight instinct takes over. Many, not all Cops do this, all the time either because of fear or abuse of power . They approach people aggressively and expect them not to defend themselves because they wear a badge. Most police officers seem to lack basic people skills and treat their position as one of authority and not one of service paid for by the taxes of the people who live in their cities . When their attitudes change maybe you won’t have these kinds of incidents. Natural instinctive response is get your hands off me!!!

Am I the only one seeing how aggressive the officer was? She pushed him off of the curb, he had the right to defend himself. He hadn’t posed a threat until she pushed him.

[@johnmartin9137]

I disagree, he posed a threat when he exited his vehicle and opened the back door without being told to do so. She had no idea of what he was reaching for, yet she let him do all that. Had that guy been black she would have dropped his ass immediately and said she feared for her safety. This is not a racial statement, this is a fact!

[@kita0407]

Yes she was very aggressive in a situation that got out of hand quickly. One female officer against the male suspect that was obviously already angry and combated. And never once did she draw a weapon and when she pushed him he was about to handle her ass because she crossed the line, she should have drawn a weapon she should have tased him the moment he refused to hit the ground. She should have tased his ass but better than that when she called for backup she should have just held her weapon on him and dared him to move and waited on the backup why escalate the situation knowing she was alone?

@@johnmartin9137 I honestly didn't want to play the black card, but there's a much higher possibility that this would have gone down a different path if the man was black, heck even if the good Samaritans were black (for the 2nd police man showing up)....I'm happy though that the folks helped instead of taking out their phones like almost everyone nowadays.

[@Kedatgahbelu12]

@@anthonyani1631 what is your objections about those people who filmed cops criminal action on the people they were suppose "to protect and serve"? If it wasn't for those people Oscar Grant, Eric Garner, George Floyd's death would've been sweeped under the rags. The issue is not about white and black, it is about cops being criminals themselves(white, black, latino or asian) trying to enforce the law. It is akin to Tony Soprano enforcing traffic tickets.

It was going to happen no matter what. He was a douche from the beginning. He jumps from the vehicle and then refuses to cooperate right away. There's no way he was going to be compliant to anyone. All because he can't drive the speed limit.

The fault for the escalation is 100% on the moron who resented being stopped and immediately exited to vehicle to start something. He is a waste of oxygen. I wonder what other skirmishes he's been in. No one that angry and aggressive is a first-timer.
