Fool Torches Car at Gas Pump - Caught on Video

A motorist pumping gas at a Kentucky gas station unintentionally set his car on fire on Sunday evening in Versailles, Kentucky, which is near Lexington. The motorist was fortunate to escape uninjured.

No he wasn't smoking and his cell phone did not spark the fire either, but he did enter and exit his vehicle repeatedly while pumping gas. That is all that it takes to set your vehicle and yourself ablaze while pumping gas.

Cops Who Screw Up - Videos

Cops who screw up! One would think there would be so many possible videos on that subject that you could almost post non-stop forever. But this post is going to stick to cops driving their squad car improperly to the point where they end up in very hot water.

Our first vid is about a police car chase that goes wrong, as far too many of them do, it seems. The cop in this first video actually goes through...well, maybe you should just watch it:

If you think a police officer driving his squad car through the brick wall right into a building is bad, this next video isn't any better. This cop runs into a man in a wheelchair while driving his squad car. Watch:



In grammar school in basic first aid class I was taught: do not move someone injured in an accident. The man in the wheelchair could have further injuries to his spinal cord and not know it. So what does John Law do? He picks the man up and returns him to his chair. John Law flunks Rescue 101.

Family Claims Cop Cruiser Needlessly Ran Down Son - Video

Did a Nevada, Iowa, police officer deliberately need to run down a knife-wielding man? Eric Peterson's family is claiming that their son had not threatened police and the deliberate attack on Peterson by a police vehicle was unwarranted.

Eric Peterson is the knife-wielding man you will see in the following video behaving strangely running on top of a police cruiser and then running after the cruiser.

The Nevada police department claims that Peterson was a threat to the officers involved in the incident, which is why they ran him down. The video is from the dashboard video cameras of the two squad cars.

Peterson's family claims that the video clearly shows that the police cruiser deliberately had to veer to the left in order to hit Peterson. It does appear in the video that is precisely what happened.

The family said that "Eric did not attack either officer," and did not threaten them. Officers said when they arrived at the scene that the man began to run toward their squad cars.

"Ultimately, the suspect was hit by one of the police vehicles as the suspect was running towards the officers with the knife," said Police Chief Mike Tupper.

Witness to the incident Teresa Phillips said, "the cop floored it into the parking lot and hit him." It does appear in the video that the squad car sped up as it approached the man.

Peterson's family released a statement to the media saying in part, "Eric did not attack either officer. Eric did not try to get into either police car. He was holding a knife but not brandishing it."

"He did jump on the hood of the first police car and ran onto the roof and over the vehicle but his actions were not an attempt to gain entry to the vehicle."

"As that car drove away, Eric was chasing it on foot, and not likely to be able to catch it. The second police car arrived, and appears to purposefully strike Eric."

The second squad car did have a cracked windshield from its impact with Peterson.

The family's statement continued, "Eric is mentally ill and his actions are not always within his voluntary control."

"Nevada police officers, including the two involved in this incident, are well aware of Eric's mental illness."

"We do not want to place blame at this time, but we want to ensure that all of the facts of the case be distributed on Eric's behalf."

The following video depicts graphic violence. Do not watch if you think you may be offended:



An air ambulance flew Peterson to Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines, and he remains there in critical condition.

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation is investigating the incident.

Elderly Man Dies After Son Leaves Him in Hot Car

A 48-year-old bus driver has been charged with reckless endangerment after leaving his two elderly parents locked in his sweltering car with the windows closed for hours while he drove his bus route. The 85-year-old disabled father died while in the vehicle, apparently from heat stroke.

Theodore Pressman, of Beacon, New York, left his father, Joseph Pressman, and his mother, Joyce, inside a black Suzuki in an office complex parking lot in Peekskill, New York, for about three hours on Monday, June 7th.

The outdoor temperature was in the mid-80s, but WCBS-TV reported that the temperature inside the car rapidly rose past 110 degrees. 75-year-old Joyce left the car and entered a nearby restaurant because the car became too hot. Since both of the elderly Pressmans suffer from dementia, Joyce was unable to find her way back to the car to help her husband.

Detective Sgt. Eric Johansen of the Peekskill police department said, "it appears they did not have the physical or mental capacity to deal with the situation." Aside from the dementia, the police would not discuss any of the couple’s other infirmities, although Joyce weighs only 80 pounds.

Johansen did say that there was no indication that the younger Pressman intended to harm his parents in any way.



Johansen also said that Theodore Pressman often left his parents "at restaurants, delis, McDonald's" while driving a bus. "This was a frequent practice, but as far as we know he had not left them in a car before."

Peekskill police Chief Eugene Tumolo said an autopsy indicated that Joseph Pressman’s death was a homicide and more charges may be added at a later date.

When Theodore Pressman returned to his car after his route his mother was outside the vehicle but the elder Pressman, who was still inside the car, was not responsive. The younger Pressman called 911 but it was too late, and Joseph Pressman was pronounced dead. Joyce Pressman was taken to a hospital, treated for heat exposure and released.

Rick Tocco, the owner of the nearby Atrium restaurant said that the younger Pressman often left his parents in the restaurant for hours at a time and that he often appeared overwhelmed with the responsibility of caring for his parents.

At an appearance in Peekskill City Court when the judge ordered Theodore Pressman to stay away from his mother, Pressman argued with the judge saying "I know what she needs. ... I have to make sure she has food."
