Lunacy as Cop Pursues Fire Chief - Tickets Him for Responding to an Actual Emergency

Rincon Fire Chief Corey Rahn was on his way to an actual emergency on April 10 when he was aggressively pursued by police. Naturally, he believed they were en route to the same incident. A series of videos have been released documenting the absurd actions of the officer. The chief was out running errands when he was alerted that a garbage truck had rear-ended a gas truck that was carrying 9,000 gallons of gas, 15 miles away from where he was. Understanding the severity of the situation, Rahn jumped in his personal vehicle and put a mini row of red emergency lights up so that he could rush to the scene and help. As the fire chief was rushing to the scene, he became an unknowing suspect in a car chase. Despite his emergency lights, an officer began recklessly attempting to pull him over. However, as there was an extraordinarily dangerous situation, with a person trapped, Rahn assumed the officer was just on his way to the scene as well. Apparently, the Central Dispatch was reportedly "too busy" to check if it was someone who was responding to an incident. So, the chase continued until eventually the officer used his PA system to demand that the fire chief stop. Rahn heroically ignored the orders and continued to where he was needed, only then learning that he was being chased. The Port Wentworth police let Rahn finish working the wreck and he was allowed to pick up his citations at the Port Wentworth police department. Rahn was given three citations , including reckless driving, failure to exercise due care and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. Rahn can be heard on an interview video telling Port Wentworth police he was trying to get to an accident involving a gasoline spill and assist with the removal of a person trapped in a vehicle. There are THREE videos in the story: - the police chase - the confrontation between the officer and his targets - police interview

K-9 unit rips face apart from unarmed man with hands up

Older incident video just released West Jordan, UT - Graphic bodycam footage of a Utah resident being mauled by a K-9 during a police invasion of his home was released at a press conference Thursday, leaving reporters in horror and a mother in tears. Martin Lee Hoogveldt,33, was sitting on his couch with his hands in the air when police unleashed the dog, allowing him to viciously attack the terrified man's face. The body cam footage belonged to that of West Jordan Police Officer Ian Adams, one of at least four officers involved in the attack. The incident occurred March 24th of 2013 when police responded to an arson call when Hoogvelt was reportedly burning a Christmas tree in a metal can in his backyard. After pulling the K-9, ironically named "Pyro" out of the vehicle, you can hear Adams seek confirmation it's an arson call as the officers approach the residence. Upon reaching the front porch, Adams can be heard saying "I can see him, so he's gonna bout to get kicked. " The officers then yell, guns drawn, for Hoogvelt to come to the door, giving him 20 seconds before kicking in the door and sending in the K-9, commanding, "Go get him." As Adams's enters the living room with the dog, Hoogveldt is sitting on his couch with his arms folded behind his head. Adams commands him to raise his hands above his head, which he does. Seconds later, the K-9 is unleashed onto Hoogveldt, latching onto his face, dragging him to the ground and chewing on his chin. The K-9 let go of his face after being pulled off by the invaders so they could flip him onto his stomach to restrain the injured man. The K-9 then attacked Hoogveldt's buttocks when police tased him, claiming he was resisting arrest, according to authorities. He was being viciously chewed apart by an animal trained to kill. That may cause someone to move around just a bit. To make matters worse, the officers knocked a chair onto Hoogveldt's face while examining his wounds, splitting open his forehead. Hoogveldt seemed barely conscious at that point, mumbling through his mangled mouth, "That hurt a lot," while the officers took pictures of his injuries. As the officers were walking to their vehicles, Adams can be heard saying "I had to look away, when he had him...on his mouth. I was like 'oh my f**k'" He looked away while his K-9 was attacking a man sitting on his couch, in his living room, with his hands above his head. Later, at the emergency room, Adams lectures Hoogveldt, saying he wasn't being a man, strangely suggesting they could be friends, and then joking that he should "get hazard pay." Two years later, Hoogveldt is still traumatized by the event, saying, he has undergone about $60,000 worth of reconstructive surgery since the incident. According to the police narrative, Hoogvelt had set his neighbor's trashcan on fire and had earlier been waving a knife. Hoogveldt's lawyer, Bob Sykes, points out that does not justify the actions police took. "You can only use the amount of force necessary at the time it's necessary. His prior encounters don't count. He could have had all kinds of problems. That doesn't justify the police kicking his door in two months later. That's not the way the law works. The force has to be appropriate when it's used. You don't count up prior encounters," he said. "The fact that he had prior police encounters, we believe, is irrelevant to all of that." He goes on, "This particular violation of rights is one of the most egregious I've seen in my career. Turning a dog loose on somebody who has his hands up," said Sykes, adding that his client had his hands up for four or five seconds before officers allowed "that dog (to) chew on somebody's face." Sykes has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Adams and the West Jordan Police Department, accusing the officers of using excessive force on him, illegally searching his home and unlawfully entering without just cause. Sykes is determined to get justice for Martin Lee Hoogveldt, stating, "I believe in constitutional rights. You have to have attorneys willing to take these cases. This is not crying wolf. This is a very, very legitimate cause of action." Police officers siccing their K-9 units on non-threatening and non-resisting individuals is a disturbing trend within law enforcement. "It's hard to watch. This ruined my whole life....I've always been very cordial and very respectful to any officer. I was just in shock the whole time. I did nothing but try to make it easy for them.I thought I would not be a threat sitting down."
