Road Rage Videos background: On July 15,
2015 at approximately 7:30 PM my wife and
I were sitting in our backyard talking when we heard what sounded like cars racing through the neighborhood at a very high rate of speed along with the sound of squealing, and screeching tires. We then heard people yelling and arguing loudly. We ran to the front yard and found neighbors
Greg Allen and his son
Ryan Allen (26) arguing with a man in a silver dodge truck.
Quickly, I went inside my house and grabbed my video camera, ran back outside and began to video the altercation.
While my wife was on the phone with the
Albuquerque Police Department (
APD)
911 operator, I videoed what seemed to begin as a road rage altercation that then escalated to a knockout (KO) punch that left
Ryan unconscious on the sidewalk. The KO punch was delivered by the man in the silver
Dodge pick-up truck who I believed to have chased my neighbor Ryan home.
The man in the silver pickup later identifies himself in the video as,
Mike Tull from
Pennsylvania.
The 911 operator asked my wife to stay on the phone till the police arrived as well as provide descriptions of all parties involved and a play-by-play on what was happening during the altercation.
Shortly, after the KO punch was delivered as the man (Mike Tull) in the silver truck drove away as Greg Allen told him, "
Look just go". Just as the man in the silver truck turned the corner at the end of the block APD arrived on scene stopped him, and questioned all parties involved and a few witness.
The APD officer doing the investigation asked to watch the video. As the investigating officer is watching the video at approximately 1:56 in the video as Mike Tull is seen slowly driving away; At which
point the investigating officer asks me, "Why are they (
Greg and Ryan) following after him?" I said, "I don't know maybe they're just wound up". As Mike drives away at 2:18 Greg and Ryan had retreated back to their yard. Then at 2:25 Mike pulls over stops his truck and and begins to gets out. That's when the APD investigating officer says, "There was no need for him (Mike Tull) to get out of his truck."
The APD officer asked for me to provide a copy of the video. When I asked him what was going to happen he said, the victim of the KO Ryan Allen would be going to jail because he blew a
2.1 which is twice the legal limit. When I asked if the man in the silver truck would be getting arrested the APD officer said, "no", because the victim Ryan Allen didn't want to press any charges. I told the officer, "I can't believe that he's not going to press charges." The APD investigating officer said, "I know I can't believe it either."
The APD officer asked me if I saw a gun, or Ryan driving. I said, "No, I didn't see him driving, and I didn't see any gun.
Everything in the video was just about everything I saw."
B/T/W In the video you'll hear Greg Allen say, "That guys a cop." Well,
I am not a cop and never have been a cop. I don't know why Greg (older Man) would say that; other then he may have been scared and trying to get the the man in the silver truck (Mike Tull) to leave his home.
Moving Forward to the next day July
16th, 2015. After Ryan was released from jail he came over to ask for a copy of the video. I told him that I didn't want him to tell me his side of what happened. just in case I was called as a witness. But I did ask Ryan this, "
The police officer told me you didn't want to press charges against the man who hit you; I was just wondering why you wouldn't want to press charges against him?" Ryan said, "He never asked me if I wanted to press charges.
I never told him that!"
I then told Ryan that he really needed to go get checked out medically because he hit his head on the concrete really hard and maybe just didn't remember the cop asking him if he wanted to press charges." It turned out that after visiting a doctor, Ryan had some head trauma that did need medical attention.
Commentary:
I don't know all the facts and I'm not passing judgement on anyone, because obviously there were things that happened that lead up to this; However, I do believe that things should have been handled much differently. The police should have been called to handle the situation.
Hopefully, everyone involved and people watching this video can learn something from this and become better human beings and treat everyone with more love, kindness, and compassion.
