‘Shots Fired! Shots Fired!’ Dash-Cam Rolls as Man Opens Fire on Police

Police in Tomah, WI have been cleared after they shot and killed a man who opened fire on them during a wild police chase at the end of April. One of the officers was hurt in the incident, which was all captured on a police cruiser’s dash-cam:

The Toma Journal reports the man was suspected of double-digit drive-by shootings in Wisconsin and Illinois:

The Monroe County District Attorney has determined four Tomah police officers acted appropriately last month when they killed a man who shot at them during a traffic stop. District Attorney Dan Cary said Tuesday the officers acted with “tremendous courage in the face of life-threatening gunfire” April 22 when they fatally shot 28-year-old Seth M. McCloskey of Ohio.

On administrative leave since the shooting, the officers have been cleared to return to work as early as Thursday.

McCloskey was a suspect in an earlier drive-by shooting in Tomah in which no one was hurt. Police have said he may be linked to as many as 10 other seemingly random drive-by shootings across Wisconsin and Illinois.

Authorities held a press conference Tuesday where they released squad car video footage of the Tomah shooting that shows McCloskey calmly exit his truck, point a handgun directly at police and open fire moments after being pulled over on Saratoga Street.

Something has to change we are letting our streets become war zones what is next we are going to have daily body counts it is just getting worse and worse. England police do not even carry guns and they have a 10th of the crime we have here. It is like dirty harry everyday.

      @nomercy63, unfortunately this is the way it is, when you have the likes of van jones getting into schools and teaching kids that they don’t have to respect their parents,and that they don’t have to trust the police, they have been taught that the police are out to get them no matter what they might have done, just watch cops pov and you will see how the police were called to a crime scene where a young black man had been gun down, then the whole apartment comply tried to destroy the scene by running through it, all the while calling the police names threating to kill them and the police were asking them to get back ,so they could preserve the scene and help find out who killed this young man, but the crowd still did not want to leave aftre a while they did but the damage had been done, this is what they are being taught, no respect ,so we can all thank the left and the likes of van jones and the parents of these kids.

    The Police do act stupidly, case and point, punching a woman in the face in an IHOP.

    Executing Oscar Grant in public.

    Beating Rodney King within an inch of his life.

    The POTUS Acts stupidly too, and thinks WE’RE stupid too, because he says that, then turns around and gives the stupid police MY tax dollars in stimulus to “create or save” their jobs in the interest of “public safety”.

    They will never be able to make the public safe. The streets are a mess, and they always claim they need more money more money more money to make us safe…even basically safe. The police increasingly exist for state and city revenue enhancement, nothing more. They will soon be replaced with automated panopticon cameras watching your every move, UAVS, and perhaps androids.

    9-11 was an inside job.

      Sinista – your IHOP example doesn’t hold water. There was no brutality involved there, and no rights were violated either. That officer responded as he should have. He was in the process of trying to arrest a woman who was resisting. The dumb second woman decided to involve herself, assulted the officer, nearly scratching his eye out and he responded to the threat by taking her down. You do not interfere with a police officer period, much less assult one.

      Rule number 1 for officers, if you have to go hands on, win. Be able to go home at the end of your shift. Once a threat is minimized, the force level is diminished.

      You will see examples of bad police officers online, but hey, that’s a biased viewpoint. People love to show bad things online, but what you will not see is the thousands of interactions officers have everyday that are professional and cordial. Not all cops are bad or act unprofessionally. Officers deal with the worst of society, those who commit crimes or have intentions on hurting others. To say that all officers are bad because of a few bad examples is ignorant. They have one of the toughest jobs to do dealing with idiots who commit crimes and question the very authority of the officers duties. Officers know your rights better than you, they have to, because they have less rights than regular citizens. Most officers are the most professional and responsible members their profession, and the bad apples rub them wrong too. The good officers would love nothing more than to expunge the bad officers from their ranks, because the bad ones make their job tougher because of the perceptions that get cast upon them all.

      Just remember, you want to have a good experience in dealing with the police?? Be respectful and courteous, you will find the officers will inkind do the same.

      In regards to the IHOP incident, that’s your opinion. It’s valid.

      I have a different opinion, equally valid.

      I know what my eyes saw, and you can’t change that.

      “You will see examples of bad police officers online, but hey, that’s a biased viewpoint.”

      Um..the camera isn’t biased. And it doesn’t lie.

      “People love to show bad things online, but what you will not see is the thousands of interactions officers have everyday that are professional and cordial.”

      The police and government makes the argument to disarm us and violate everyone’s rights at the terminal, and put a camera on everybody because some people speed, and take away an officer’s burden of proof in speeding tickets…based on what some bad people do, and it doesn’t yield to the same logic. They forge right on ahead with their Police State Panopticon.

      Tsa crotch groping, coming to a train station and street near you.

      Don’t hand me you “cops are awesome and they protect us and put their lives on the line everyday” garbage. They don’t risk themselves any more than any civilian who gets up and goes to work daily and pays their taxes. And they agree to get paid what they get paid to dodge bullets, so I have no sympathy for them. It doesn’t make them better than me, or deserve any extra deference than me, it makes them stupid in my opinion. It doesn’t make them brave or courageous or any of that garbage.

      Well, my opinion, based on the multitude of examples freely available for public viewing just on the internet, not even counting the numerous incidents that go unreported, is that the police as an institution have a contempt and hostility towards the general public.

      Just because you are a video producer doesn’t mean that you can change what my eyes saw.

      You say don’t speed, but don’t acknowledge the fact that the cameras are fallible, inaccurate, and are in the interest of the city/state to be that way to increase citations. Humans are also fallible, but that didn’t stop the Supreme Court from giving them the right to write tickets out the wazoo based on visual observation. You also don’t acknowledge the fact that officers are assuming new powers without any legislation, such as having no burden of proof in speeding cases, just because the corrupt Supreme Court rules that they don’t have a burden of proof, totally contrary to established law.

      “Case law” is destroying this country, and subjecting civilians to the law of man, instead of the law of the land.

      “The police can‘t do anything that the politicians don’t allow them to do. They only enforce the laws and ordinances passed by the politicians.”

      Which usually means “selective enforcement” and “probable cause”, a deliberately ambiguous grey area in which police consistently violate citizen’s rights legally at their discretion. Politicians and police are corrupt. They complement each other.

      I’m sorry, police have one job. What it entails is their responsibility, and they have never demonstrated a competence at doing it. The streets are a mess. They don’t deserve any more deference than the average worker who goes to work daily and pays their taxes. They work for us. We don’t work for them. They provide a service for pay.

      I have more respect for the average citizen than the police. The average citizen aren’t preying on me for revenue and sitting under ther billboard preying on other motorists with my tax dollars.

      Moving on…your opinion that the streets are a mess may be valid where you are, where I am at, the police do a pretty decent job. I will also acknowledge that where “the streets” are bad is also where you find the pervasive street culture, where fractured families are, the low income woe is me crowd who don’t look to themselves to improve their lives, but look to goverment to improve their status. The neighborhoods where “snitches get stitches”.
      You are right in the sense that a more armed and responsible society would help reduce crimes. I will say that a more proactive and forthcoming society will help the police clean up the streets. But it is what it is as long as people feel they are above the law and take matters in their own hands, and hold the sworn officials in contempt.

      The police state that they can do the job, but can NEVER do the job, and are always crying for more taxpayer money and expansion of powers to help them do their job that they’re supposed to be professional at.

      “the low income woe is me crowd who don’t look to themselves to improve their lives” is exactly where the police are needed most based on their logic, and there’s their real challenge, but they have MISERABLY FAILED at that challenge. It’s easy to sit under a billboard in a high income suburb and eat donuts all damn day and write tickets. Lord forbid that the cops ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO SOME COP WORK…

      NOBODY trusts the Police, except you, other police, and their family members and friends. That’s not because of me, it’s because of THEM and THEIR HISTORY. As long as the police feel they are above the law, and that they ARE the law, and take matters into their own hands such as executing Oscar Grant, tackling a bike rider, dogwalking and beating a man for having an unzipped jacket, holding a contempt and hostility for the public, people will continue not to trust them.

      Now I see a bit more about your distrust of the police. Are your biases rooted in the fact you are on the left coast? I will concede that there have been a lot of issues out there… and I won’t speak to those. I will concede to you that from what I skimmed over, the Oscar Grant case was entirely a bad situation. As I understand that case, he was shot by a TRANSIT cop (glorified security guard), not an actual POLICE officer. BIG difference there. Different training involved there. You have a beef with officers doing traffic enforcement (their job) writing tickets instead of doing what? You do know that most felony arrests happen because of traffic stops? Criminals drive too.

      As institutions, there can be a healthy level of distrust of members of the institution, but not the institution as a whole. And it is hard for segments or departments to earn back trust, probably rightfully so when things happen to tarnish them. I don’t give 100% trust to anyone or anything, unless it has been proven to me that it or they deserve it.

      Look, I’ve done this, maybe you should too. If you are able to, go to your local police department and ask to do a ride along with an officer. It’s definitely an educational experience. What they deal with everyday is real life, not scripted “reality TV”, or cop dramas or movies. You’ll actually see the constraints they have in their jobs and hear for yourself their opinions on what regard they hold the citizens they serve.

      “he was shot by a TRANSIT cop (glorified security guard), not an actual POLICE officer.”

      Civilians don’t make that distinction, they perform the same powers as if they are on the force, in Cleveland they write the same tickets on the same paper that CPD does, civilians don’t make that distinction.

      That’s a problem, if they are getting more felony arrests from traffic stops then actually going out in the neighborhood and seeking and arresting criminals, then they aren’t doing their jobs, and there‘s more felonies occurring elsewhere that they are missing because they’re preying on motorists.

      So… you want officers to be more proactive and patrol in areas looking for criminals….. they do indeed patrol, and are dispatched when someone calls for them…. but I would tend to think that if officers were constantly flooding neighborhoods, the residents would be howling “profiling” or harrassment.

      My point is they cannot do the job they are tasked with doing. Unable. Too many civilians. They would need one cop for each civilian, or a Panopticon Police State.

      “It’s not like they wear signs that say “I’m a criminal, arrest me!”

      Well, if they are incapable of performing their duties without profiling, harassment, brutality, and violation of civil rights…then…maybe they ought to flip burgers or something, struggle to find a real job like the rest of America instead of lobbying my legislators for more power to write tickets and more public contributions to their pensions, and stop trying to play Superman.

      You despise the KKK as an institution?

      Can I despise the police as an institution?

      “I am sure a lot has changed in the 20 to 30 years since he left.”

      I understand where sinsta mace is coming from. I don’t hate the police either, I just have no use for their methods. You folks seem to think that cops are always in the right. Truth is that a majority of the time they are in the wrong and work within a corrupt system that allows them to unquestionably violate your Rights guaranteed under the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

      Example: Driving home at 2:30AM from the hospital after sitting with a sick child. I get pulled over, for no apparent reason. First thing the cop says is “Sir, have you beed drinking tonight?” Of course I hadn’t. I then do the whole “show us your papers” Gestapo routine. I answer the 20 questions including where am I going, where have I been, if I have a job. Then the “do you mind if I look through your car, Sir”. At that point resistance is futile. If you say “No” the cop is not going to just say “very well Sir, have a nice evening”. I allowed the search, I was never informed why I was stopped. I didn‘t push the issue either because I didn’t care to be peppersprayed and beaten.

      Cops are not corrupt, but they work within a Facist system, and they love the power it gives them to violate your rights and treat you like less than a citizen.

      With that said, The cops did nothing wrong shooting this guy. But I assure you that if an armed citizen had defended himself from this gun wielding kook, he would have been facing manslaughter charges.

      I think anytime police are involved in any incident is a good time to discuss their abuse of power. As I said, in this case the police did nothing wrong. My point was that a free people do not need or deserve a police force that has carte blanche to violate the rights of common, law abidding citizens. They do it everyday during the normal conduct of their day-to-day activities. Funny thing, I always assumed that it was Conservatives that were concerned with violations of Constitutional matters and it was the Liberals that were concerned with things that struck them as emotional issues that they viewed as wrong. I am beginning to realize that neither of them REALLY care about the simple everyday, God given Rights afforded us.

      @TYR: I disagree completely that any story that mentions a police officer in any way is an appropriate forum to discuss police brutality. An appropriate place would be a story that illustrates such an act, or where the behavior was at least in question. Pulling over a reported stolen vehicle is not a violation of anything.

      @SINISTARD: I do not rely on the police to “protect me”. I have the equipment and ability to protect myself and my family. Except in rare cases, the police arrive AFTER the crime has been committed and they begin the important work of attempting to stop the criminal before he/she perpetrates another crime. Like in the story above for instance. I suppose you are too ignorant to see the value in that. I saw your original post which was deleted where you snidely commented that “next time they (the police) will get shot in their little piglet face.” You are like the racists who pin the crimes of the very few upon the very many.

      To think that by wearing a gun that voilence mysterioulsy subsides is such a misnomer. There is a reason they called it the “Wild West”. Lawlessness was very much a part of life back then and wearing guns was predominant. If, by wearing guns, people are disuaded from doing harm then why isn’t that period in American History called “The Calm West”.

      I am all for American citizens being able to own firearms but I am quite happy with the police being the primary source of holding law and order. You are blowing the incidents that have happened way out of proportion. My experience has been that those that “protect and serve” are very upstanding individuals. Sadly there are a small percentage that are not. The system weeds out those that are “bad apples” eventually.

      “Except in rare cases, the police arrive AFTER the crime has been committed and they begin the important work of attempting to stop the criminal before he/she perpetrates another crime.”

      …Which would be less likely to happen if more citizens were exercizing their right to bear arms openly. The citizens can respond faster than the police.

      I never said ““next time they (the police) will get shot in their little piglet face.”

      I said SOMETIMES they do.

      “You are like the racists who pin the crimes of the very few upon the very many.”

      No, you see, the police are not a race, they are an institution, and should be judged by the history of that institution, which, whether you like it or not, shows an overwhelming contempt and hostility towards the general public.

      Pajamash, you said:

      “To think that by wearing a gun that voilence mysterioulsy subsides is such a misnomer.”

      I didn’t say that at all, but the police sure thinks that the brandishing of their weapons and their presence does exactly that, and apparently, so do you.

      So what would an entire populace of armed citizens openly carrying create? More security, or less? Are you assuming that the populace in general are violent criminals who aren’t capable of being responsible with a firearm in public?

      Your argument falls apart.

      The Wild West was called that because it was largely unsettled – hence wild and was called variously the Old West, Far West, and Wild West – and was being exploited and settled by those believing in Manifest Destiny, driving the indians from their land and settling it.

      Well whadayaknow, here we are in 2011, and we’re still going around the world sparking wars and nation building, setting up bases.

      “I am all for American citizens being able to own firearms but I am quite happy with the police being the primary source of holding law and order.”

      Good for you. I’m not willing, nor have I agreed, to delegate that authority to the police. The Law is order. They are Law Enforcement. We as citizens also have a duty to uphold the law and the right to bear arms. Therefor we are Law Enforcement also. We all have the power to arrest.

      “My experience has been that those that “protect and serve” are very upstanding individuals. Sadly there are a small percentage that are not. The system weeds out those that are “bad apples” eventually.”

      Well, that’s your personal experience. I think there is a large percentage of those who violate citizens’ rights regularly, based on the multitude of incidents over the history of the institution. My observation is that in terms of law enforcement in general, from federal down to local, they have a history of SEEKING and PROMOTING the most violent individuals and celebrate it as tough-cop-ness.
