(Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only)
Georgetown County, South Carolina Attorneys representing the family of a man fatally shot in February by a Hemingway police officer released the dashcam footage from the shooting. Dashboard camera video shows former Hemingway police officer Cassandra Dollard, 52, slipped and fell before fatally shooting Robert Junior Langley, 46. On Feb. 6, Dollard saw a silver car traveling west on Andrews Street in Hemingway and failed to stop for a stop sign, according to a police report. Dollard wrote that she activated her lights but Langley continued to drive away, failing to stop for a red light at the intersection of West Broad Street and North Main Street.
The video, shows the vehicle chase coming to an end after Langleys vehicle ran off the road and crashed into what appears to be a utility pole. After some attempted communication, it shows officer Dollard approaching the vehicle and ultimately shooting Langley as he tried to exit through a passenger door. The video also shows her attempt CPR on Langley as she tells him EMS is en route. Officer Dollard, 52, was taken into custody Feb. 9 on the manslaughter charge after an investigation conducted by SLED. She was released from jail the following day on $150,000 bail.

Maybe wouldn't have slipped and fell and felt she had to shoot the driver who was obviously in distress and struggling from the auto accident.
Fired twice already? How is she still on a police force.

She went waaay too close to the other vejicle after it crashed out. Look how close she was as she crossed behind the car prior to falling down. So close that when she falls and he comes out of the passenger side, she HAS PUT HERSELF in harms way!!!
IDIOT!!!

(53,475 posts)4. Yep, shouldn't have been still on a police force.
Her poor judgment caused her to make error after error after error which resulted in a man's death.

Like, seriously overweight and winded after 30 seconds of running.
