Fuck the police

The cop runs like when I try to run in my dreams

Unfortunately when this cop retires, he'll likely be replaced by someone trigger happy

I think the cop pepper sprayed himself so shooting would be a risky endeavor

They’re delicious and cheap, I don’t care if they have horse meat in them.

Well at least the cop didn’t shoot him.

He escaped by jogging lightly! Great job, Officer Stumbly!

The fighting Uruk-hai!

At least he didn't get shot

Thanks for taking the time to share a direct watch video instead of linking to YouTube. Most shared content still points to YouTube (for valid reasons but still).

Looks like the cop was trying to pepper spray him while he was fleeing.

I used to only assume defendants were innocent during jury duty. Now I assume the police are usually on the side of evil. They've never investigated any crimes I've reported and only ever given people I see a hard time. Less than worthless.

Yeah i wasnt trying to say that word kiting was old, but for sure the action is old. Im there are predator animals that do it with poison or exhausting their prey before going in for the kill.

The thing is they're still a high financial drain. The military doesn't give them the ones that are in good enough condition to still be useful, and they're a maintenance nightmare.

I worked for a city that accepted one, and it broke down while transporting it to the city the day we took possession and ended up costing the city 200 grand on its first day.

As the kids say, "absolute cinema".

You have just made me realise that I am an incompetent runner in my dreams. Like I'm trying to run through jelly. Not saying I'm a good runner by any means, but not as bad as I am in my dreams.

Yes

It's a common experience

Now you see why they shoot in the back. Fat fucks can't keep up.

Lemmy, sometimes I just wanna.....makes strangling motion, you're a good kid.

So wait....I was joking, but you're literally saying that "kiting" before video games is just from actual kites. Lol like no shit, why did I get downvoted?

I once told somebody about a recurring dream I have where I can’t control the speed of my car. Apparently your brain is fully aware that your legs aren’t responding to commands and it translates into your dreams.

In your case, not being able to run because your sleep cycle is deliberately paralysing your legs

Because the term is from video games, meaning to lead an enemy around as if they were a kite that you are holding. Nobody is saying kites are older. And yes, you can say "let's go kiting" and mean playing with toy kites in a field, but that is not the definition of the word that is being discussed here. The guy kited the cop in the way that your marine would kite a zergling, not the way a kid would fly a kite at the park.

Look, we've gotten to the point where without backstory and evidence, police in the United States don't deserve the benefit of the doubt, so until I find out otherwise, I'm not even remotely disappointed that the guy defeated the police officer.

Well, he had pepper sprayed in his general direction. Given the lack of reaction, I'd say it missed.

Looks like the cyclist is white, so the cop might have faced consequences for murdering him.

No, for sure. It was clear what you meant.

Apologies if my comment came across as "um ackshually". I just meant it in a "TIL/interestingly enough" sorta way.

Oh, I know! It’s the equivalent of you or I being given a Peterbilt 579 and they we try using as a daily commuter.

To be fair, biking uses different muscles from running so if the cop is not a cyclist (and doesn't use stairs for training since stairs are a very similar set of muscles to cycling) the suspect just has to stay out of reach for about half a mile, which for anyone who cycles regularly should be pretty easy to do

More like taser, no?

I can't steer the car in my dreams because I can't lift my head up to see over the dash and I can't peel my eyes open more than slightly to see where I'm going

This has got to be the dumbest thread I've ever been a part of lol

I used to have dreams where driving was very difficult because the pedals would be positioned awkwardly close. It pretty much defied spatial geometry because it wasn't like there was space behind them for my legs, they were just really close with the wall right behind them but it was only hard to access and manipulate the pedals; I still somehow fit fine into that position.

Or he was able to power through it. Depending on spice tolerance, some might see it as more of an unpleasant condiment than a weapon. He might have biked a couple blocks away and found a place to cry in peace once the adrenaline wore off.

congratulations... I guess...

He's lumbering around like a sci fi monster from the 50s.

Almost as if we don't have the whole story!

Agreed!

Once you get into the "groove” of the language (and Frankenstein is a good place to start) it's worth it to check out some of the other novels Mary Shelley wrote. Like The Last Man for example.

In the country where I live, cops retire when they get old.

This is my favorite example of that.

Whole story? the fuck are you talking about? Cop partners haven't been the norm since the 70s primarily due to cost cutting.

Dude, you don't eat spicy food with your eyes.

My cat doesn’t seem to be able to catch anything in her dreams either from the way she moves and the noises she makes. Happens to the best of us, I guess.

Good on that police officer for not using deadly force.

Didn’t Larisa ÖRGÛLŸK play Alex Mack?

Found the only good cop. Too slow to catch you but still doesn't shoot.

Wtf is going on :))
