These run-ins with police escalated to dramatic heights.

1. 1. Man fatally shot in the back as he ran away from Utah police

   A man was shot dead by police after running away from the arresting officers in Utah. Three shots were fired into 50-year-old Patrick Harmon’s back, killing him. While Salt Lake City’s district attorney deemed the deadly force “justified,” the NAACP is looking into the death.

2. 2. Lying cop doesn't know Uber driver was actually a lawyer

   When defense attorney Jesse Bright was pulled over in North Carolina while moonlighting as an Uber driver, he began filming the encounter. Allegedly, he had been pulled over for picking up a passenger from a known ‘drug house,’ but that didn’t stop Bright from continuing to film, despite the police officers incorrectly telling him that it was illegal to do so.

    

3. 3. Relentless man kicks and drags a deputy before being shot down

   An unarmed man in Florida was shot dead after he appeared to attack two Broward County deputies. Newly released bodycam footage from Dec. 6, 2017, shows the tense moments leading up to Jean Pedro Pierre’s death. His family says the 42-year-old father of five suffered from mental illness.

4. 4. 'I got two overdoses and two babies in the back': officer

   Two young mothers in Florida were found passed out in a parked SUV after apparently overdosing on $60 worth of heroin. First responders found the women’s infant children, one just 2 months old, in the back seat. Kristen O’Conner, 27, and June Scheinhart, 28, were both charged with child neglect.

5. 5. Orlando cops pull over Florida's only black state attorney in controversial stop

   Accusations of racial profiling are being leveled against Orlando police officers who pulled over Aramis Ayala, Florida’s first and only black state attorney. The cops claimed they pulled her over after running her plates and not getting results, which prompted Ayala to ask why her plates had even been run in the first place.
