Video Shows Missouri Cop Run Over Fleeing Suspect With Car Then Tackle Him As He Screams

Video from the doorbell camera of a private home shows an officer in an unmarked Florissant, Missouri police car driving into the yard and running over a fleeing suspect at speed. As the suspect screams in pain as he tries to limp away from the car, the officer tells him to “get on the fucking ground” as he tackles him.
The video was first sent in to the Instagram account for RealSTLMedia, and was later picked up by TMZ. Warning: the noise of the impact is graphic:
{snip the video}
The local Florissant Police Department confirmed that the officer in the video was not wearing a body-camera at the time. The St. Louis County Prosecutor removed itself from the case due to a conflict of interest in its office, and there are now three separate investigations being conducted by the St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney, St. Louis County police department, and the FBI.
