Police bodycam shows what it's like to be a cop who's hit by a car

Police bodycam videos have been eye-opening, allowing us to witness the good and the bad of law enforcement. The POV nature of the cams lets us walk in a cop's shoes. In this case, we get to see, in a small sense, what it's like to be hit by a car.

Fair warning — this is difficult to watch.

Atlanta police Officer Steven Randerson is working a post-rush-hour morning accident on the shoulder of I-75. At first, the traffic looks light in the video. But the officer turns his back to oncoming traffic — and is struck before he can make his way to a safer spot ahead of the police vehicles. The entire operation is bordered on one side by a concrete wall.
