Dash Cam Video Shows New Mexico State Cop Opening Fire on Minivan Full of Children

New Mexico State trooper fires at least three rounds
at minivan full of children.
By Davy V.

The power of video, this time from a New Mexico State Trooper's dash cam, captures what at first seems like a routine traffic stop on the side of a road near the Town of Taos, on October 28th.

However, as the video unfolds, it captures a very disturbing scene.

A trooper shooting at least three times at a minivan with 5 children inside, including one as young as 6 years old.

Trooper strikes van with his baton.
After the driver of the vehicle, Oriana Ferrell, whom police say was pulled over for speeding, drives off, she is pulled over once again,

At that point, a New Mexico State trooper begins yelling at Ferrell, then attempts to physically pull Ferrell out of the vehicle.

Ferrell's 14-year old son, then does what any child would do in defending their parent as they are being physically assaulted by a stranger.

New Mexico State trooper fires at least three rounds
at minivan full of children.
A struggle ensues and Ferrell and her 14-year old son get back inside the minivan, as the trooper starts to repeatedly strike the side of the minivan with his baton, as more troopers arrive.

Then, as the minivan pulls off, a trooper opens fire on the vehicle, even though there was absolutely no threat whatsoever and nothing warranting use of deadly force.

After a short chase, Ferrell pulls over and she and her 14-year old son are arrested.



NOTE: Those who  follow my work, know that I NEVER recommend doing what the mother did in this case, or what the son did.

I always tell people that they should always cooperate with law enforcement during a traffic stop, regardless of the situation.

I also always encourage people to video record the stop, so as to document the incident, for your protection.

But again, ALWAYS cooperate!

DO NOT ever give a trigger-happy cop ANY excuse to shoot you or your loved one!
