[Illusion]

Vero Beach, FL - Indian River County Sheriff Deryl Loar released the attached dash cam video to the media this afternoon.

Last night, Deputy Christopher Lester stopped Andrew Coffee driving a scooter for having no tag on the vehicle. As Deputy Lester attempted to place Coffee under arrest, he punched Deputy Lester, drew a revolver from his waistband and fired.

Deputy Lester was struck once in the leg and returned fire striking Coffee twice. Deputy Lester is at the Indian River Medical Center in good condition, while Coffee is undergoing surgery at Lawnwood Medical Center.

Should have finished him off.

Glad the deputy is OK. Too bad Coffee survived.

How come nobody is taking the thugs side? Surely there has to be a way of justifying the perps' actions...no?

And, of course, the Trayvon Martin allowed to grow to old's low life Ghetto Trash family made the usual comments, excuses and accusations.

Ha ha hah I'm sure someone will be like, Coffee felt threatened and his life was at risk because it was a white male police officer so he acted in self defense. Hence the sucker punch and immediate action to try and kill the officer when he was on the ground by pulling his weapon out and shooting. Good on the officer to shoot back quickly
