  • I didn't see the cop car get rammed. It looked to me like the cop spun out for no reason other than bad driving.

  • Thats the windshield coating melting....fire is on exterior coming from hood apparently.

  • Now that's a camera I gotta get me one of thoes

  • What kind of camera is that?!

  • well i assume the police officer stayed in the car with his sirene on and lights because he was hoping for a slot in the 2012 COPS TV SHOW.sob i have better sense than to stay in a burning car.

  • @VortecBlazer Yeah.

  • @francispounds if your car was on fire would you take the time and stay inside it to turn off your radio???

  • Why would you leave the siren on?
