No-Holds-Barred Beatdown | |
| World's Wildest Police Videos / int_25524784 | comment |
No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: A routine traffic stop quickly turns into one of these for officer Michelle Jeter, with the suspect subjecting her to a brutal beating before fleeing the scene. The beating is so severe, in fact, that it can't be shown on screen, and it is only thanks to the intervention of a nearby driver that her superiors are able to send an ambulance, thus allowing her to survive her ordeal. The man is later caught and charged for her assault. | |

Would Hurt a Child | |
| World's Wildest Police Videos / int_479d4e5a | comment |
Would Hurt a Child: Some of the most intense situations officers must face involve criminals who are willing to put children in harm's way. In Season 5 Episode 12, a drugged-up man in the Philippines takes an 11 year old girl hostage at knifepoint. After several failed attempts to resolve the situation peacefully, police are forced to take drastic measures and shoot the man from behind, with the man subsequently dying from his wounds while the girl escapes relatively unharmed. | |

Get into Jail Free | |
| World's Wildest Police Videos / int_4d92da97 | comment |
Get into Jail Free: One of the videos has a guy who was already in jail, but was going to be released soon. He suddenly jumps up and decks an officer that was casually walking by and was carted back to his cell on new charges. Apparently, his gang thought he was a snitch, and he was afraid that they would kill him on the outside. | |

I Did What I Had to Do | |
| World's Wildest Police Videos / int_b17f6a27 | comment |
I Did What I Had to Do: On the rare occasion where lethal force is employed, Sheriff Bunnell makes it very clear it is only to be used as a last resort, when all other options have failed. This is demonstrated in a clip where a group of officers are facing down an Ax-Crazy gunman who most certainly would have killed them all along with nearby civilians had they not intervened. | |

The Mentally Disturbed | |
| World's Wildest Police Videos / int_c866231c | comment |
The Mentally Disturbed: Quite a number of clips involve police facing suspects with severe mental illness. In one such video, a man in Seattle suffering from paranoid schizophrenia begins threatening nearby passersby with a samurai sword, believing himself to be possessed by demons, with the sword being his method of slaying said demons. Using various non-lethal weapons including a high-powered water cannon, the police are eventually able to subdue the man and he is subsequently taken to a nearby mental hospital, where Sheriff Bunnell notes he will be able to face his inner demons with a doctor instead of a sword. | |

Drives Like Crazy | |
| World's Wildest Police Videos / int_f96f188c | comment |
Drives Like Crazy: Unsurprisingly given the nature of the series, a lot of criminals involved in vehicular pursuits drive pretty recklessly, with some being worse than others. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished | |
| World's Wildest Police Videos / int_fe614133 | comment |
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Usually averted but played straight with officer Michelle Jeter, who finds herself on the receiving end of a brutal No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from a fleeing suspect. Apart from being fitted with a metal plate to replace the damaged parts of her skull, her injuries heal pretty well and within five months of the incident she looks as good as new. Lampshaded by Jeter herself in the interview, who notes that a lot of her colleagues at the time of the recording expected her to be covered in stitches a la Frankenstein's Monster and were instead surprised by how clean she appeared. | |
