Gee, she signaled nearly every turn.

Well... until the trooper with the Tahoe took out her rear lights.

Hell Hath No Fury...

Bummer about all the damage to all those high $$$ police vehicles.

I like how she eventually crashed into a "Speed 25 MPH" sign.

What did this moron think was going to happen? The police would have just said, Oh Okay, you're going to work.....Go ahead....
And I'm surprised she didn't accuse them of stopping her because she's black, and she fled because she feared getting shot.

Shame on all of you for jumping to conclusions. I'm sure she is a brain surgeon on her way to the hospital to save a child. Clearly she knows what she is doing.

Amazing that the police did not shoot when she came close to running them over.
Can someone explain this running from the police? It seems more and more common.

“WEWS - A woman in Ohio went to great lengths last week to avoid getting pulled over by troopers.

Video shows Imani Edwards smash into multiple police cars, nearly hit several officers in the process and sped through an intersection with a red light.


Even with the back end of her USV smashed in, she still didn’t stop.

The reason for the chase? She said she was late for work.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol was chasing Edwards after she fled a traffic stop over window tint and a registration violation.

Newburgh Heights police joined in the chase.

At one point, law enforcement thought they had her boxed in on the interstate.

Even as an officer stood right outside her driver’s side window with his gun drawn, Edwards hit the gas, nearly running down police and ramming two Newburgh Heights police cruisers.

"The officers with their weapons drawn, they held very good restraint in my opinion because their lives were at stake. She almost ran them over. That's a 2,000-pound weapon coming at you that they jumped out of the way just in the nick of time to save their own lives,” Newburgh Heights Police Chief John Majoy said.

After the chase left the interstate, Edwards continued on the residential streets of Cleveland.

Troopers finally stopped her by forcing her vehicle onto a curb and into a pole.

She was arrested and told police she was on her way to work.

Edwards has been charged with felonious assault and failure to comply.”

It seems that she’s a very dedicated employee.

Very good restraint my ass. Send those guys back to police academy 101 and give them some real training.

(Sorry to armchair quarterback here. I know, I wasn't there )

At the risk of making the leap into politics, I’ll do so only because it is relevant. Obama preached that police were bad and resisting them is ok. That resistance comes in different forms for different types of folks. People like this woman think they have a right to ignore or disobey the law. I’ve seen this kind of behavior personally during, say, searches after probable cause. Stupid shit like “you can’t do that without a warrant!”.

With that type of dedication, I bet her reviews at work are amazing.

Once can only hope she'll show the same dedication to making it to her new job in the prison laundry room on time.

$50 window tint ticket to attempted murder, impressive.

Not only politicians telling people that. Community leaders an entertainment influencers are teaching it too. They use urban myth and distortion of events to de-legitimize the cops. With that basis they claim resistence is social justice like a perversion of civil disobedience. It becomes a culture of disobedience that gets people killed which perpetuates the myth and legends. It is all a lie happily disseminated and willfully believed to advance an agenda beneficial to the Left. Was this the case here? I'd be willing to bet yes. To some degree the driver was demonstrating civil rebellion. She should never again have a license to drive.

Then she'll drive without a license. No insurance either, naturally.

What the realistic amount of jail time she'll do?

My money is on "zero".

A funny from over here a couple of years back, when a tricked-out black BMW with HUGE wheels and blacked-out windows was pulled over in the local big city by the police on suspicion of drug cruising - later proven to be the case when he was found to be carrying a bali-song knife, £3500 in cash and in possession of upwards of £40K-worth of Class A drugs.

The black driver just got out the words 'you only pulled me over 'cos I'm black' when he noticed that the two police officers were also black.

...and when he got to police station, so was the reception sergeant.

the reception sergeant is a good shooting buddy - he had a good laff about it.

Tacfoley - guess this is a rhetorical question, how can you tell someone is black through tinted windows? Don’t we ALL look black....?

I don’t know either...
