Nightmare Scenario: Outnumbered Officer Hit in Shooting Hand and Unable to Call for Backup, Video Shows the Moment He Turns the Tables

Nightmare Scenario: Outnumbered Officer Hit in Shooting Hand and Unable to Call for Backup, Video Shows the Moment He Turns the Tables: For a cop, there is no such thing as a “routine traffic stop.” An interaction with a suspect can turn deadly in an instant, as it did for San Antonio, Texas, police Officer Tyler Sauvage on a late morning traffic stop on the west side of San Antonio on April 16. A San Antonio Police Department policy went into effect in December that requires the department to release body camera footage from all officer involved shootings within 60 days. According to a KSAT-TV report and the accompanying police department video, Officer Sauvage pulled over a blue pickup truck and approached the vehicle. The driver and front-seat passenger were both men. A woman was seated in the back.
