Police State USAHEBRON, KY — Police charged into a darkened field trying to arrest teenagers for consuming alcohol without government permission, and killed a young woman in the process.
The deadly raid occurred in the early morning hours of Saturday, April 26th, 2014. After witnessing “cars full of juveniles” and “hear[ing] loud music and people screaming,” Boone County Sheriff’s Deputy Tyler Brockman radioed for “several patrol cars for assistance, as it seem[ed] like a large party with underage drinking was going on,” according to an official report.
Deputies responded in force and attempted to surround the party, which was taking place on a rural road in Hebron, Kentucky.
As red and blue lights approached, the teens scrambled to escape the government agents. One girl, 19-year-old Samantha Ramsey, got behind the wheel of her 2001 white Subaru, along with 3 of her friends.
Dashcam video from a police cruiser depicted the moment Ms. Ramsey, who worked as a preschool teacher, tried to escape. As her car pulled onto the street, the teen passed Boone County Sheriff’s Deputy Tyler Brockman, who can be seen clearly standing to the side of her vehicle on the driver’s side. He was shining a flashlight at her and barking orders to stop.
Intent on imprisoning the girl for her beverage consumption, Deputy Brockman confronted Ms. Ramsey and tried to position himself in the forward trajectory of the vehicle.
The vehicle slid out of view just as the deputy closed in on the driver’s window; Ms. Ramsey had not stopped her vehicle. There is some dispute about events that followed, but the confrontation ended when Deputy Brockman fired four shots through the windshield, fatally striking the teen.
The shooting itself occurred off-camera, but several of the young partygoers were filmed reacting hysterically to bloody encounter; flailing arms and crying. The victim’s car ended up in a ditch and a cloud of smoke billowed forth, along with a passenger who stumbled out and collapsed onto the road.
The incident occurred at 2:13 a.m., according to the timestamp on the video. Watch it below:
The shooting was viewed by multiple witnesses, who disputed the officer’s report, according to LEX-18 News:
“She stopped for a second, but then she kept moving and then after she kept moving is when the cop jumped on top of the car and he just opened fire,” said Ibrahim Komate, a witness to the shooting.
“She wasn’t even going fast she was just easing along and like he jumped on top of the car,” said witness Isiah Edwards.
“We were leaving the party and the cop approached right here. As he approached the girl was trying to leave the party, and she was trying to make a turn and leave the party, and he jumped on the car. Then pulled his gun out, shot four times through the window and hit the girl,” said Josh Pitts, who also witnessed the incident.
Ms. Ramsey was struck by four bullets to the chest, ripping through her liver, spleen, and heart, as well as both of her arms as she clutched the steering wheel.
The three passengers in the car managed to survive, although Ms. Ramsey, a recent high school graduate and aspiring teacher, did not.

FOLLOW-UP:
Deputy Tyler Brockman will not face any consequences for killing Samantha Ramsey. In November 2014, a grand jury issued him a “no bill” and effectively cleared him from legal responsibility for his actions.
Brockman claimed that Ms. Ramsey tried to run him over and that he was the victim. According to his version of events, he clung to the hood of Ms. Ramsey’s car in an attempt to enforce the law upon the fleeing suspect. In doing so, he feared for his life and had to open fire with his pistol.
“The shots were fired not only to save his life, but also the pedestrians walking on the road and the officers currently just down the road initiating other arrests,” the police report stated.
Although Deputy Brockman asserted that he “had no choice” but to kill the girl, it is evident that she would be alive had the police not arrived at the party in the first place. Samantha Ramsey’s untimely death was needless; her life was taken as collateral damage in the government’s overbearing control over a beverage. Fatalities like this are guaranteed when the law encourages armed enforcers to interject themselves incessantly into the lives of citizens.

I believe a very special place in hell awaits Deputy Tyler Brockman and all those like him. What a sad state of affairs this country has enterd into.
Once upon a time it would have been sufficient for police to just break up the party and tell the kids to go home. Now, however,it seems arrests for these minor infractions are more important than a young persons life. The system is terribly and cruelly broken and citizens only recourse will wind up being vigilante justice. Sad.
I f this was my child that he Killed he would face the same. ALL my children are grown and gone from home. I have lived a fairly good life with really no regrets. Nothing is harder than losing a child (so I hear) and hope to never have experience such. I have made my pledge to my wife and family that if they are killed intentionally either by another person or especially Police that person will face the same fate.
100 heads life and casualty insurance co.
Really?? He feared for his life?? Get off the damn hood of the car!! No he chooses to shoot and kill a young woman. All he had to do was GET OFF the car! She hadn’t robbed a bank or murdered someone ~ she was at a party! If he felt the need he could have easily taken her plate number and followed up with a citation of some sort or if he felt like he needed to respond with some sort of aggression then shoot out her tires AFTER he GOT OFF the F’ing hood of the car!! What is going on with cops lately?!?!?!? The Grand Jury didn’t see the other options he had and this was clearly excessive force?? Come on folks!
This was a hit, cold blooded hit. I watched the video, I saw a cop laid in wait for this girl, He let the first car go and knew her car and did the hit.
There’s a connection between this girl and the cop!!
I think you’re right.
It’s pretty clear now that citizens of the U.S. fear for our lives when a cop stops them. If they shoot to kill because of tht and get off, what is our recourse?…..smell what I’m fartin’ ?
I lived in that area for sometime. And grand jury’s or jury’s are hand picked by the courts. Sometime it will be friends with the judge or people that worked in the court the year before or firemen or police officers wife and family. Seen it happen over and over there. That pig should be in jail for 45 to life! The last Hebron cop I know lived in a $800k home over looking the Ohio river, he did drug interdiction on 275 and 75 not sure how he paid for that house?
