Dashboard video of Yellowstone County Deputies Shooting Loren Simpson – YouTube

According to the police, Simpson matched the description of a suspect in an “allegedly stolen vehicle,”
and had pursued him down a dead end road. During the officers’ attempt
to block him in, Simpson veered to his left to avoid the deputies.
However, Robinson, with an AR-15, and Rudolph, with a Shotgun, both
opened fire, dumping 54 rounds within 5 seconds into the SUV and
Simpson.
The rifle caused the fatal shot, striking Simpson through the back of
the head and immediately paralyzing him, according to Thomas Bennett,
associate medical examiner for the Montana and Wyoming, reported the Missoulian.
Likely knowing that they were going to be charged, both men resigned
from the sheriff’s office just days after the shooting — as is standard
protocol for officers attempting to avoid accountability.
For the last year, this story was swept under the rug as it was just another case of some loon attempting to run over cops and getting what he had coming. However, the dashcam of the incident was released this week, and it clearly contradicts that notion.
“I saw the front wheels turn in my direction,” Robinson said in a
statement about the incident. “At that point, I knew he didn’t care he
was going through me and he was going to kill me.” But the dashcam never
shows the wheels coming at Robinson, and, in fact, it shows the exact
opposite.
