I have to admit I’m hesitant to even blog about this, because it’s one of the most horrible crimes I’ve ever read about. John Taylor Jr., a 21-year-old man in Oakland, California, was arrested by police after he allegedly threw his 18-month-old daughter in front of a moving car on Fifth Avenue in Oakland, California. Witnesses say that Taylor was standing in the middle of the street, yelling, when he went to the toddler, shook her violently, and then threw her in front of a moving car.
Amazingly, the little girl escaped the ordeal with no major injuries, just some scrapes and engine burns from where the car ran her over. As for Taylor, an off-duty Oakland police officer commandeered a passing car like a cop in a movie and chased him down, pistol-whipping him until uniformed officers could arrive and Taser him into submission. That monster got off lucky; they should’ve just shot him in the spot.
