A shocking video of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) police in a helicopter firing on a moving car in a populous slum has sparked a probe. Footage emerged of the high-octane chase a year after it happened, raising concerns over the excessive use of police force
“Obviously we’re allowed to use some force in an arrest,” Halifax told The Associated Press. “But there’s a line we can’t cross, and it was crossed in this incident.”
Reinsberg used his personal cell phone to gain access to county law enforcement databases and web resources to search for and find the woman’s home address, according to officials.
Reinsberg arrived at the victim’s home the same night. Once there, Reinsberg was allowed entry by the victim’s roommate, who left him alone with the woman in her bedroom.
Price loaned his 2011 Dodge Nitro to a Delaware County woman and was expecting her to return it by 7 p.m. Tuesday.
When the woman, a 24-year-old from Collingdale, did not show up, Price “obtained a ride from Delaware County to Allentown to retrieve his vehicle,” which he found in the 700 block of South Fifth Street shortly after 10 p.m.
“The defendant approached the (vehicle) while holding his Ruger pistol and demanded all occupants exit the vehicle,” Detective Thomas Anderson, wrote in the affidavit.
Identified as Price’s girlfriend in the affidavit, the Collingdale woman was with two other people in the car when, she told police, Price appeared “out of nowhere” and allegedly yelled, “Get the (expletive) out of the car!”
She said Price pushed his pistol through an open passenger side window, pointed it at her and threatened to shoot her if she did not exit the vehicle.
The woman told police Price fired three shots from behind the car as she attempted to drive away.
