ST. LOUIS COUNTY — Police on Tuesday released surveillance footage of a police pursuit in February that ended when the suspect ran away, fired at officers and was hit by a police car.
The department's investigation into the officers' use of force is ongoing.
Police said on Feb. 21 they saw 42-year-old Taiwansley Jackson driving recklessly on Jennings Station Road and Halls Ferry. Officers tried to pull him over but he sped away, weaving in and out of traffic.
In the video, Jackson hits light poles near McLaren Avenue and Goodfellow Boulevard in Jennings before jumping out of the vehicle, holding a pistol, while the car is still moving.
As he is running away in a parking lot from several marked and unmarked police cars, he begins shooting at officers. A police car then hits Jackson from behind, and he goes flying in the air before landing on the concrete and being run over by another police vehicle.
Jackson was the only one hurt in the incident. His injuries were non-life threatening and officers did not fire their guns, the police department said.
Police can be heard on dispatch audio, also released Tuesday, asking officers to check on residents who live in the direction of where Jackson fired the gun.
Jackson is charged with first-degree assault, armed criminal action resisting arrest by fleeing and unlawful possession of a firearm. Jackson was in jail Tuesday on a $500,000 cash-only bond, police said.
The video was released as part of the department's transparency efforts, where they aim to release relevant footage within 45 days of when an officer uses force.

I don’t see any police misconduct here, personally, and I’m not afraid to call it out when I see it.
Play GTA IRL? Don’t be afraid when you get GTA’d.

If anything, this website has helped me better appreciate the constant unpredictable type of danger that police have to constantly be on their guard for. Police violence is definitely a huge problem, but this is a legitimately scary profession.

The “Police Activity” channel on YouTube is a good one to watch. You get far more “good police” vids but I suspect that’s more because they greatly outnumber the “shitty police” videos. That said, they don’t shy away from vids that show shitty policing.

Plus they don't really censor anything. Hence why they're completely and permanently demonetized lmao

I wonder why they blurred out only some of the cop cars.
Edit: I bet it was because they were unmarked.

Usa should have killed all black ppl like the risk of having a problem with them is very high wich already is there from one part is the same usa the guilty like b ppl didnt hsd rights even til few years ago but todsy Being black is a privilege in usa at the same time you basically poor but i dont care b ppl is ugly and uncivilized for me theres no other explasnation of why all countries black population is the poorest and less civilezed like bruh but id true lower iq but highiest physical advantage racism is real like all aniamals are humans arent the difference, you can tell how is a dog by its breed the same with Humans just look at it. Why b ppl are moslty in sports and porn or robbing theres non in math competitions but who fulls that? Asians but he is not in porn and sports? Asians... And whites? Well whites are very mixed so this doesnt Apply except with like clearly pure whites like germans British russians anf nordics the are in everything Sports math and porn. You can call me racist but France usa is the example
