According to the uploader:

Byron, Georgia — On Friday July 15, 2022 Byron Police officers were given a look out on a SUV driving reckless on GA Hwy 42 coming into town. The caller said the vehicle was driving into the other lane almost hitting oncoming traffic. When the vehicle got to the intersection of Hwy 42 and Hwy 49 witnesses blocked the vehicle in. Byron Police officers arrived on scene and attempts were made to talk to the driver and she was uncooperative and would not talk to officers or respond to commands. Officers placed Stop Sticks under her tires to deflate the tires if she drove off. After several minutes the driver backed into a car stopped behind her and then pulled forward hitting a Byron Police officer and a Byron Police car.

The driver then backed up again and pulled forward hitting two witnesses and another Byron Police car and drove going north on Hwy 49 with one flat tire from the Stop Sticks. Officers attempted to block the car and she backed into a third Byron Police Car then drove forward hitting a Byron Police car for the second time causing serious damage to the car. The suspect continued on Hwy 49 for a short distance where Byron Officers were able to block her in and take her into custody. The driver was identified as 24-year-old Sierra Hibbert of Warner Robins, GA. She also had a small child with her that was not hurt in the incident. No officers or citizens were injured seriously in the incident. The Peach County Sheriffs assisted during the incident and is handling the investigation and criminal charges against Hibbert.

    What the fuck is wrong with the us? In the rest of the world you would have to be a mafia drug lord to run from the police, nobody does this.

      I definitely would not have blamed them for being rough with her, but shooting could have hit the kid as well.

        There was a police officer early in the video who had a shot at the driver from behind to the left of her, any strays would go through the windshield, no danger to the child. That officer should’ve taken that shot, after seeing her try to kill at least 2 people in an attempt to get away.

    why dont they shoot the tires first? i wonder to myself each time i see such video… also how much taxpayer money is wasted on such pursuit ? cop trying to break the glass window with his own bare hand lol…car pursuits in the us seem to be too staged…probably lobbied for by Big car…everything in the us has that Avengers vibe to it: alot of stuff are needlessly extreme…also mom is probably that ‘live,love,laugh’ type of woman :/

        a car moving that aggressively need to be contained quickly…chasing it is just wasteful…plus the risk of damaging public and private property in the long run…

        shooting a tire is like close range, how a baby would be hurt (unless emotionally speaking) ? u would have to be blind to miss the shot. also black women always overreacting, they start ramming stuff whenever they panic (too retarded tbh), white ? maybe…thats a reason i could get behind…but she also fat so she doesn’t necessarily hav a grasp over her cognitive abilities

              inert ammunition is literally a piece of plastic meant to test your weapon with, so i don’t really know what you’re asking.
