The prosecutor’s office in Berrien County, Michigan, has released a highly dramatic dashcam video from a police cruiser that hit a female pedestrian crossing the street. The police car was speeding, and had neither lights nor siren activated, witnesses said.
“I need an emergency unit to my location. I think I hit a person,” Benton Township patrol officer Eugene Anderson informs radio dispatchers on the video just moments after the sound of smashing glass and a loud bang is heard as his police cruiser hits a woman.
Based on a squad car video, witness reports and a physical investigation of the scene, Anderson, who was responding to a domestic violence call, was traveling at 64 mph in a 35 mph zone when his car struck the woman, the Herald Palladium reported.
Kimberly Bedford, 48, who was crossing the road at 9 p.m. Sunday, died at the scene. The incident took place in September.
Anderson’s lawyer, Martin Kirk, called witnesses, who testified that Bedford was seriously drunk and was allegedly walking in the road with no regard for traffic. The lawyer argued that there was no reliable evidence proving that the patrol officer was traveling at 60 mph.
Berrien County Prosecutor Michael Sepic ruled that while Bedford did violate pedestrian rules by stepping into traffic, Anderson was still to blame.
must be a rookie cop………he called it in
“I think I hit a person”
That tells me right there that the pig was driving so fast that he doesn’t know what happened. And of course it’s all the pedestrians fault. Where does she get off crossing the street like that.
Pig should have a Crown Vic dropped on his crown.
Cop:” I think I hit a Person”

SPRINGVILLE, Calif. (AP) — A sheriff’s deputy and a civilian pilot helping with the arrest of a man in Central California were killed when their single-engine plane crashed near Springville in Tulare County, authorities said.
sorry to hear the pilot died , but the ‘ol lay down with dogs thing comes to mind too
I’m not sorry about the pilot. Any “civilian” who works with the pigs or deliberately enables them might as well be a pig himself in my opinion.
yup ..like i said he layed down with the dogs
SAN JOSE — The former San Jose police officer accused of raping a woman in her hotel room chose the perfect victim, prosecutor Carlos Vega argued Wednesday on the last day of Geoffrey Graves’ trial. The woman was drunk, unsophisticated, in the country illegally, spoke limited English and had asked to be removed from a family argument and taken to a nearby hotel where she’d worked as a maid, Vega said. Graves spent three minutes driving her to the Towne Place Marriott Suites where he dropped her off, only to appear about 15-20 minutes later at the door of her room with the intention of sexually assaulting her
‘I think I hit a person’…. but I’m so goddamn drunk I can’t be sure.
