Norristown police officer put on leave after striking naked man with vehicle

man... this is so sad can't believe that's how things went down in our community but at least the city is being transparent about it and acknowledging they'll do better hopefully the investigation turns up some useful info so we can all learn from it and maybe, just maybe, this incident sparks a bigger conversation about mental health support and resources for people who need 'em

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one... a naked guy vandalizing cars and then getting hit with a cop's car? It sounds crazy, but I guess you've gotta consider that mental health is no joke. If this dude was really in crisis mode, maybe the officer shoulda just stayed calm and called for backup instead of losing it like that.

I mean, we all know cops have to deal with some wild stuff on a daily basis, but this takes it to a whole new level. And now there's an investigation happening, which is good I guess? Hopefully, they can figure out what went down and make sure the officer involved gets the help he needs, 'cause this isn't exactly a situation where you wanna see someone go rogue like that.

But honestly, my mind keeps wandering to the video footage – how bad was it really? Were there witnesses who saw anything like this before it happened? So many questions...

omg, this is wild ! I mean, who gets hit with a car by a cop and just walks away? that's crazy! I feel for the guy who got hurt though, but can you blame the cop for trying to protect themselves and others from a naked dude causing trouble on the street? it's like they say, when in doubt, use force... or in this case, hit him with your car lol. seriously tho, how did the cop not get hurt? was there some kind of shield thingy between them?

this kinda thing makes me wanna be all like "what's wrong with us?" - like we expect our cops to just take matters into their own hands no matter how messed up the person is? i mean, mental health crisis or not, violence shouldn't be the first option. it's also super suspicious that the vid got out and now everyone's a critic... what if it was just one bad apple?

Just saw some crazy vids on socials about that Norristown cop who hit a naked dude with his car ! Like, what was he thinking?! I mean, I get it, someone's causing trouble and obstructing traffic, but use force like that? That's just not cool . And poor guy getting knocked out cold . Need to find out more about this officer and the investigation . Can't believe we're still dealing with incidents like this in 2025 .
