New Dashcam Video - St. Patrick's Day, Solon Police Shootout

Cops really do have a tough job in dealing with Crazies like these all the time. It is just sad that so many cops bring their disdain of actual crminals to law abiding ‘civilians’.

Much respect to those good cops who are not given Kudos they deserve
And maintain professionalism in spite of situations like this.

On the night of St. Patrick’s Day, Solon Police Officer Steven Davis pulled over Kevin Bailey for a traffic violation.

Officer Davis reported smelling marijuana in the car and called for backup. As both officers approached the car, Bailey rolls up his window and starts his car.

A short chase ended when Bailey blew out a dire. Davis’s cruiser blocked Bailey’s door, but then Bailey opens fire on police.

Davis, a member of the SWAT team, returned fire through the windshield, killing Bailey with shots to his head and shoulder.
