Video Shows Arizona Officer Using Car to Ram Suspect

An Arizona police department released video Tuesday showing a police officer using a car to ram an armed suspect in February.

The video shows a Marana Police Department cruiser slamming into Mario Valencia, who was allegedly armed with a stolen gun and fired a shot in the air on Feb. 19.

A different police car driven by Officer Michael Rapiejko then roars forward and strikes Valencia sending the man flying into the air.
