Woman Run Over by Her Car As Crazed Cop Drags Her Out at Gunpoint for No Reason

Free Thought Project – by Matt Agorist

Lee County, FL — Lee County Deputy Raymond Gallagher is a bad cop. It is cops like him that add to the fear people feel when they see those red and blue lights in their rearview mirrors as they are targeted for extortion for some arbitrary traffic violation. However, thanks to the power of video and a cop watching citizen, Deputy Raymond Gallagher is a cop no more.  

In October, Gallagher pulled a woman over for speeding. It was a routine stop and it appeared that the woman wanted to get off the road, so she pulled into a parking lot at a nearby shopping mall. Never did the woman try to flee or resist or otherwise pose any threat to Gallagher. However, that did not stop him from creating the violent scene that unfolded next.

For pulling over into a parking lot — for a minor speeding violation — Gallagher rushed her vehicle with his weapon drawn and proceeded to drag her from the car. Clearly in shock and frightened as a crazed screaming man is running toward her with a weapon pointed at her head, the woman either forgot or did not have time to put the vehicle in park. However, it was not moving at all — until Gallagher dragged her out of the car.

In the officer’s dashcam video, we see him rush the car and proceed to drag the woman from the car. As she falls to the concrete with her seatbelt still attached, her foot slips off the brake causing the car to start rolling forward. Because the crazed cop didn’t allow her to remove her seatbelt — or put the car in park — she was dragged along the side of her moving vehicle.

Luckily, she was not run directly over by the back tire and killed. But she was hurt.

After the stop, Gallagher arrested the woman and fabricated an entire story to back up his reasons for the use of force and never once mentioned that she was pulled from the vehicle and dragged.

As NBC 2 reports, an internal affairs investigation also discovered Gallagher lied on the arrest report, stating the female tried to avoid him when he first made contact with her, something the video proved never occurred.

Instead of the truth, contained within the officer’s fictional report was a statement about how he “helped” the woman from her vehicle. In their investigation, the department used the Merriam-Webster dictionary to define ‘help’.

Merriam-Webster defines the work help as follow(s): to give assistance or support to; to make more pleasant or bearable; to be of use to, to change for the better. In the video, Deputy Gallagher did not appear to assist, support, please, be of use to, or change the situation for the better.

The investigation substantiated the following four charges:

• Improper Conduct- Excessive or Unnecessary Force
• Improper Conduct- Untruthfulness in Proceedings or Reports
• Job Knowledge and Performance- Knowledge of Rules and Procedures
• Improper Conduct- Conduct Unbecoming Officer/Member

“Mr. Gallagher fell far short of our expectations, training, and policy, and we dealt with him swiftly and surely,” Sheriff Mike Scott said. “I will not tolerate behavior like that.”

Thankfully, a vigilant citizen decided to stick around and act as a witness after he suspected Gallagher was going to escalate the situation or this cop may have never been exposed. The Witness, Kevin Noell then called the Lee County Sheriff’s Office to report Gallagher.

Now, nearly 5 months after the incident, Gallagher is no longer a cop, and, hopefully, it stays that way.

Below is the dramatic video showing this deputy’s aggressive and dangerous behavior.

  1. Crazy cop for sure!

    C’mon, where is the integrity in journalism? The title clearly states, “Woman Run Over by Her Car…” yet, the article content states, … “she was dragged along the side of her moving vehicle.”
    “Luckily, she was not run directly over by the back tire and killed. But she was hurt.”

  2. So lets see…if the same thing happened to me and I decided to defend myself against illegal arrest (with my firearm of course) would I have the same amount of legal representation that the officer has? No. The only thing that I would have on my side is the video evidence, no matter how heinous HIS crime was. In a court of law, his word is freaking GOLD. My word against his, and his word might as well be scripture from the pulpit. The idea that “cops can do no wrong” has to be throw in the shitter where it belongs.

  3. “In their investigation, the department used the Merriam-Webster dictionary to define ‘help’.”

    Ok, when you have to use a dictionary to define the word “help”, you clearly know the people in power haven’t passed the 3rd grade and it doesn’t help (for lack of a better word) to support their case and only further humiliates them and shows their lack of intelligence. That is, unless that’s what they were going for.

    Let it be known, that this police department is so dumb that they don’t know what the word “help” means. Truly they are the “finest”. The “finest” pack of imbeciles, that is.

    1. And that right there is the crux of the problem.

      It’s bad enough that the pigs protect each other from accountability, but even the “justice system” stubbornly refuses to grant any real justice to the victims of police barbarism. And this is as that same “justice system” vigorously prosecutes private citizens for harmless acts such as gambling or selling pot to an adult friend.

      They are forcing our hand. They’re putting us in the position where citizens whose loved ones are harmed by the police state MUST get justice through extrajudicial revenge.

  4. Another day, more outrageous pig behavior. What was his excuse for such behavior? “I was scared and feared for my life, yup, that’s it. That woman coulda kilt me!” Hero cop nabs dangerous woman! He will be awarded the Medal of Merit for outstanding bravery in the face a woman.

  5. As pattern observer, my primary question is do we have any real stats on each of these incidents that show us the origin of this kind of violent behavior on the part of public servants? For example is the officer a former soldier off a foreign grist mill. Or is he a exceedingly young individual with an overly inflated ego accentuated by a badge and power? These are things we need to know because if turns out that the vast majority of these incidents are caused by very young men, then do not hire individuals below X age; if it is due to military training (they alter the thinking of their personnel in boot camp and via combat experience), then it can be said hiring former military is a irresponsible policy. This kind of information could result in the disciplining of hiring policies of whole police departments causing an internal systemic clean up or even the ability of victims to more easily sue departments that refuse to adjust their strucutres or hiring practices for the greater good.

  6. Ya know…
    There was an article.
    …here locally about a previous Elko police Captain getting out early for good behavior after doing 4 years. After child molesting one or more probably innocent members of his family.
    I would suspect that being predominately LDS up here .. he would be LDS.
    Considering the DMV and courthouses in Elko are run by them here.
