“#Video released of DC cops allegedly drag racing, crashing<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Newly-released body camera footage shows part of an April crash that totaled two Washington DC police cars after they were allegedly drag racing.<\/p>\n

The release of the footage this week comes amid an Office of the Attorney General<\/a> probe that could result in charges against the officers involved in the race down a residential street.<\/p>\n

At least one officer has been fired due to the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously those types of things are unacceptable, they\u2019re embarrassing,\u201d Metropolitan Police Department Chief Robert Contee told reporters at a Monday news<\/a> conference, a Fox 5 DC video showed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not something that we tolerate,\u201d Contee added. \u201cIt\u2019s certainly something that I do not tolerate as the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department.\u201d<\/p>\n

There were four cops involved in the crash, two in each vehicle, and the one who was terminated was a probationary employee, according to an announcement from the department accompanying the video.<\/p>\n

The two cars were stopped on Anacostia Avenue near Kenilworth Park at about 5:15 p.m. before they quickly sped away hitting speeds that Fox 5 DC reported hit at least 60 mph. <\/p>\n

The speed limit in the area is 25 mph, the report said.<\/p>\n

All four officers suffered minor injuries, the department said.<\/p>\n

The body camera footage is shot from the perspective of a passenger in one of the vehicles. There\u2019s no sound as the car zooms away, with the second vehicle not visible in the video until just before the collision that activates both the driver and passenger side airbags<\/p>\n

The police department, in its message accompanying the video, said the officer activated their camera at the time of impact. It is at that point that audio kicks in on the footage, with the passenger stepping out of the vehicle, dazed.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh s\u2013t,\u201d he is heard saying.<\/p>\n

Someone asks if he is OK, to which he responds \u201cYeah, I\u2019m good.\u201d<\/p>\n

He drops the F-word before turning to see the damaged vehicles behind him at the end of the footage which lasts less than four minutes in total.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
