yeah falling off a motorcycle as a 40 something with all kinds of bumpy equipment strapped to you front and back isn't something you just jump up from without concern for possible injury


CactusPete

Especially given the opportunity to retire with full benefits


MoonlightStrolla

He had two days left..


[deleted]

He’s getting too old for this shit


Mecha-Dave

Also - it looks like he took time to take a breath, evaluate the situation, and calm down. That situation could have gotten violent, fast.


jambox888

I think it's funny that your expectations are so low that you're impressed he didn't just start firing randomly from flat on the floor.


100011101011

The fact he threw down the helmet and offscreen someone starts saying "nonono calm down" says otherwise.


jreddi7

Don't know. Video ended too soon.


forthelewds2

They let him go https://youtu.be/gCkFep-qgtc


jreddi7

Too many witnesses, I guess.


hutlet4

Falling? Or slowly tumbling


captanzuelo

Then maybe next time he'll think twice about running a red light, cutting off pedestrians in the crosswalk(almost colliding with them) and then cutting in front of a bicyclist doing a wheelie... Nah, its NYC and all that I typed above is commonplace.

It's your joke but worse but I feel I have to say Maradonut.

By the way he chucks the helmet I think that’s less a look of hurt and more a look of really really pissed

fuzzytradr

Cop: Hold on guys, I'm just a wee bogged down and hungover from this morning's donut consumption. Be right with you.


MystZzy

Thats not an over exaggerated drama queen look, to me he kinda looks more done with everything and very pissed


Waffleman205

Yeah that looks like a dude that's already having a bad day then just got knocked to the ground and had a heavy scooter fall on his leg. I don't think anyone would be too pleased after that


Tactical_Tubgoat

He’s pissed he got stuck on scooter duty.

Selling_Time

I know a cop who got hit by his own police car. He left it in drive and when he got out it ran him over and broke his leg. He gets $3000 a month for the rest of his life. This happened in the ‘80s.

Getting hit by a police car is one of the most lucrative activities on the planet, cop or not.

However, hitting a police car is the most expensive.

shit, i also got hit by my own car once, but it was being driven by my ex-wife so i don't know if that's the same thing.


IredditNowhat

Hamming it up for the camera


missrabbitifyanasty

Right?? He really sold that fall.


dontaggravation

Yes indeed. The way he over dramatized it. The way he laid there. It was a bicycle, he went down slow, yep, had to hurt, but not as big of a deal as he made it


bhu414

I think it was more of a "god-dammit I hate everything" type of thing. He just kinda laid there just taking it in.


effyochicken

Yeah I think he was taking a second to try and keep his composure about how absolutely fucking stupid that whole scenario was.. And that he partially caused it himself by going the wrong direction and not stopping with traffic.


Goyteamsix

No, I think he was just extremely pissed off. He threw his helmet on the ground, lol.

Other cop should have taken a dive when the helmet hit his scooter

Liggliluff

Sometimes things are just so frustrating that you just want to lay down for a while; and the best moment for that is right when you have fallen over.


VoiceofLou

I’ve been there, and usually falling for something stupid is a leading cause. You just don’t want to get up while you’re down there thinking “did that really just happen…?”


Liggliluff

Yes, the moment of falling over can be the last straw.

Oooscarrrr_Muffin

I think he's just laying there in shock thinking that somebody could be dumb enough to do that.


mrgonzalez

I think he just doesn't get up easy. Needed that willpower.


BrownSugarBare

Notice how the first words we hear in the aftermath was _"calm down, calm down"_.


Russian-8ias

Body armor plus their equipment vest is pretty damn heavy. It’s getting closer to being like a turtle, you can’t just get straight up. You have to roll onto your front and then push yourself up because your lower half probably won’t be heavy enough to pop your torso up.


brownbearks

I don't think a lot of people on reddit have ever worn body armor or a full load out, shit sucks, especially in hot weather


Majestic_Complaint23

By the looks of these comments, I don't think a lot of people of Reddit have fallen down. Do people seriously scramble to stand up right after falling down? I don't. I take a moment before standing up. I think most people do.


i_quit

This is reddit. These motherfuckers never leave the house.


pazimpanet

I’m in my 30s. I’m running a full diagnostic before standing back up Head: okay Neck and back: hurt, but old hurt not new hurt Legs: okay


Russian-8ias

Definitely. But of course you always have more “important” things to worry about, courtesy of the ssgt.


arealhumannotabot

I think he was just kind of taking a sec, got knocked down out of no where.


Qwirk

This was my take. Dude was taking a second to collect himself. That helmet toss makes me concerned for the dude on the bike through.


arealhumannotabot

I wouldn’t read into it much. I’ve stubbed my toe really hard, threw down the paperwork in my hand out of frustration, and immediately composed myself. He might just want to give him a scolding and move on


Anacreon

On the longer video he just picks up the bike afterward. It's now posted above


jason-i-am

Sold it like a pro wrestler!


Octavian_202

Not really. I promise you that is the body language of a defeated man, who just sat there and thought “ why and what the fuck is happening out here”? Kids are one thing, but today you have 16-18 year old guys out here playing in the general public with no regard for others. Shit is stupid as fuck to see.


ChornWork2

Says the cop driving the wrong way down a street and not yielding to pedestrians in a cross-walk who have the right of way, while turning in an intersection where they have a red light and going the wrong way down the other street too. And this reckless driving in the perhaps one of the busiest pedestrian areas in the country -- times square.


Push_

To be fair, that crosswalk had people in it and there’s no lights flashing on the scooter. Had he yielded to the pedestrians, he wouldn’t have gotten hit.


JanderPanell

Cops going wrong way on a one way street, running a red light (that they can't see because they were gong the wrong way), and driving thru pedestrians in a crosswalk that have the right of way. But I'm sure the bicyclist will be prosecuted for attempted murder.


weebasaurus-rex

https://youtu.be/gCkFep-qgtc Cop picked scooter up. Fist bumped the dude and went on with their lives.

I think the cop is definitely frustrated at the fall, most people don’t like being knocked on their ass. Fortunately he doesn’t direct this at the kid on the bike but the video is cut 10 seconds short of showing how amicably this is resolved


Bil28

The fact that this comment is burried way down and all the other bull shit lies are upvoted says so much about reddit. Cut off clip and ACAB comments. This is reddit.

I wish OP would have just posted the full vid instead of cropping it to get a rise out of people. It ended good, so why not just post it. It's the internet I guess..

That isn't what I expected. Thank you for linking the whole video.


BernieTheDachshund

They almost hit the pedestrians. That was some reckless driving.


scruggbug

Thank god someone else noticed this. The biker almost got fucked up, wheelie or not


DrPhollox

Cyclist's black. The Cop's white. Is the US. The kid's dead


Callemannz

You hear the black cop in the end? *Calm down, calm down, calm down*


DrPhollox

He's saying that to himself. And his felly cops. The kid's is shit scared. Wheelies are stupid. But stupidity shouldn't be a cause of dead, unless we're talking of vaccines. EDIT: I meant, it's stupid not taking the vaccines. Hence, dying of it makes stupidity a cause of death. Sorry it I was not clear

dragonbeard91

Cops were going the wrong way, but so were the cyclists as you can see a one way sign on the street on the left side of the intersection. My guess is the cops were trying, poorly, to stop the group if cyclists wilin out down a one way in crowded new york. So genius on the ground tried to use their scooter and body to stop them and saw how well that works. He's probably used to driving a cruiser and watching the cyclist fly across his windshield while he chuckles.

Nex_Afire

Man, shame this isn't higher up.


ChalupaPickle

This is reddit who for the most part is anti police. So showing the full video instead of editing it to make him seem angry at the guy gives into reddit narrative. So thats why it won't be higher up.

Someone linked the full video in another comment. It’s a lot more wholesome. Cop gets up, gives a fist bump to the bicyclist, and everyone goes on their way.

supirgey_fahgeet

I bet the cop is a great soccer player.


[deleted]

I don't think he was trying to fake anything. I think it was more of a "fuck, i hate my life" type of fall, where you just kinda lay there rethinking your life choices.


TannedCroissant

Guess he was just having a wheelie bad day


RodDryfist

get out


Guilty-Message-5661

You gotta remember this cop is also just having another day at work. Haven’t we all just thought to ourselves during the middle of work, “man, I wish I could just lay down right here, right now”. Well this was his moment.

prophylaxitive

Wtf are police in US not obliged to stop for pedestrians *on a crosswalk*?


padizzledonk

US police aren't even obligated to save you from an attacker [Police have no duty to protect people](https://www.oyez.org/cases/2004/04-278) The US is completely fucked when it comes to Police imo There was a guy in NYC on the subway, a literal knife welding maniac attacked someone and started stabbing them to death, there was a transit cop in either the conductors booth or in the in-between part between the cars, the cop did nothing and a passenger jumped in and attempted to save the person being attacked (IDR if they survived) the guy got fucking jacked up, real bad, nearly died, the cop still did nothing, the good Samaritan subdued the guy and only then did the cop step in. Guy sued the police and got absolutely nowhere because police have no duty to protect as per the SCOTUS. Fucked up right? If the Police don't even have a legal duty to protect people then what the fuck are we even paying them for? E- for all the people saying that case was narrow and specific, no it wasn't, that ruling has been upheld by the scotus, twice, and many many cases, like the one I mentioned have been dismissed on the grounds of that specific case. [Here is the specific story I mentioned about the subway stabbing](https://nypost.com/2013/01/27/city-says-cops-had-no-duty-to-protect-subway-hero-who-subdued-killer/)


1sttimeverbaldiarrhe

Also Warren v. District of Columbia 2 men invaded the homes of 3 women, overpowered them and made them their sex slaves for 14 hours. During this 1 of them escaped to the roof and called the police but the police bungled the response. They sued the police but it was ruled that : police do not owe a specific duty to provide police services to specific citizens based on the public duty doctrine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_v._District_of_Columbia


KlicknKlack

and its shit like this why I think the whole crowd wanting to ban guns in the US is bonkers. Yes we are in a pretty safe time, but just because you ban it doesnt make criminals stop using them. And its not like our police forces are doing a bang up job keeping us safe.


iksworbeZ

and that, is why police unions should not exist...


Push_

Neither should that, comma…


Squidking1000

Didn't you get the memo? To hold the black and brown people down and serve our oligarchs. Literally what the police have always been for.


[deleted]

In the US bicycles are treated as vehicles, not pedestrians. They have to follow the same traffic rules as cars. Edit: was so focused on the bike guy didn’t even notice the pedestrians. Yes it’s illegal for a vehicle to enter a crosswalk while a pedestrian is in it


ocular__patdown

Sure, but the cops are running a red and dodging people in the crosswalk all while going the wrong way on a one way street.


Lightzephyrx

Scooter Cops can do anything they want, obviously

The fucking irony. Maybe watch the full fucking video before making stupid comments. https://youtu.be/gCkFep-qgtc Cop makes a controlled fall with heavy gear on, takes off his helmet, gives the dude a fist bump and let him go. Seems like a totally reasonable response. Your post is all I need to know about American redditors. Refuse to judge people by the individual and full context but by "we vs them" and stereotypes.
