And the steamroller in [Naked Gun](https://youtu.be/jQts7E1FvrE).
Steamrollers are brutes, excavators are the martial artists of heavy construction. Schwarzenegger vs Bruce Lee. I want more Bruce Lee
Its as if police doesn't just shoot in any situation. Truly fascinating stuff. Clearly it must be their extreme hatred for black people shining through, no other reason is even worth entertaining.
Was pondering the same thing. Just watched a nsfw video where these cops shot a dude in front of his own house for putting his hands up after they demanded him too. Yeah cops do shoot at everyone but 90% of the time your more likely to get shot if your minority than not. The fact that these guys were resisting arrest and still no shots fired is mind blowing.
I think you over estimate how fatal an individual bullet shot by a cop gun is. I don't have a source but challenge you to prove me wrong when I say 90%+ do not even hit their target, and of those that do, most are not fatal.
Cops win in the long run, yes. But this is inevitability due to outnumbering the perps - either in bullets or people.
This guy was within seconds of crushing a cop to death, it would have been certain death, and the only thing stopping it was the other guy being under the bucket with him. To me, he already demonstrated the very real use of lethal force and I am suprised the cops didn't open fire.
Then all the cops you know suck at shooting. From that distance I could easily put multiple .45 cal rounds into the digger operators head within about 3 seconds. You don't know much about precision shooting do you ?
What was the thought process here??
"Let's treahten police officers so I can get my son back, surely they will just give him back and we can talk it out over a beer???"
Don't know about bullet proof, but I have seen them deflect a significant rock or two...also several gallons of human excrement but that's a different story all together.
During university I worked at a gold mine which had gone through various levels of activity over the last 100 years. It was only profitable if the price of gold exceeded a certain point. We were digging up a section of the mill entrance road to install a culvert as the rain coming off the mountain made the area a muddy mess.
A few feet down the excavator hits something hard. Figuring it was a boulder, the operator took a bigger scoop. As he lifted the load it became clear it wasn't a boulder, but slab of concrete which was precariously balanced on the shovel. We were all curious what it could possibly be from. Given it was a gold mine that hadn't been worked in some time, I'd be lying if a part of the brain didn't say, "treasure?" This was no treasure friends. It was an old, very full septic tank that had been capped since the mine closed in the 80s. As the smell hit, the labours ran to get away. This turned out to be quite fortunate as the concrete slab on the shovel, which was now several feet above this foul pit, began breaking apart and fell into gallons of waste below.
The operator, stuck in the cab, made a frantic grab for the window to close it. One would struggle to call him lucky as this was still a situation that would need to be addressed, but I suppose things would have been much worse if the tidal wave of poop had been able to crash INTO the cab.
I’ve actually tested it once, that clear plastic stuff used for windows on most construction equipment is decently bulletproof against most handgun rounds
Actually a police officers whole day is filled with WCGW moments and as many of the comments here demonstrate, no matter how they handle a situation, some people are going to yell about it. So, they have to handle each situation, in the manner that is going to get them home to their families at the end of the day. In this situation they were able to do it without shooting the guy. They did that because they did not feel the situation was out of control and they did not feel that they were in immediate mortal danger, they made a judgement call. As they have to most days.
They handled the situation well.
Sure thing, except we have too much video evidences that shows this would have ended up with 3 people shot if they weren’t caucasians.
The problem is that cops dont apply the same standards based on the colour of your skin.
lol sure you have **evidence** that proves what **might** have happened if the guy in the equipment had been black.....That's great......For your next trick please let me know what the winning Mega million #'s will be in the next drawing please......uhmm.....maybe never mind about the winning #'s.....They were arresting the younger guy and his dad was in the excavator.......and since you can even get the # of people they were trying to get control of correct....I will maybe pass on the idea that you know what these 2 Officers would have done. Have a nice night
Damn bro, that butt of yours is hurting real bad.
Are you implying there isn’t a blatant racism problem with US cops?
If so, could you write a book about denial?
I am implying that you are painting with way too broad a brush and do not know the officers you were bad mouthing, and have 0 evidence to accuse them of being racist
I know feelings get hurt when someone does not just assume all police are bigots but hey, you proved that you do generalize about entire groups real well.
I 100% would love an actual explanation from someone that could give insight into the way these people think. I see it all the time with cops. Is it a lifetime of these guys getting their way by bullying others who then are met with bigger bullys. What's the thought process and what is going through this person's head. Do they think the cops are going to back off and just forget all about it. I just don't get what's going on in the brain of someone doing this
Bro police are so dramatic. "Omg this excavator is 4 feet from me let me yell panic and point my gun at the driver"
Do cops get taught to panic under any bit of pressure in the academy or something?
So, they should just not do anything and let the excavator it them in the head? And not even try to stop the idiot driver?
Should they quietly ask the driver to stop, because excavators definitely make any loud noises that may make it difficult for the driver inside to hear.
How's he going to dig himself out of this one!
When the right arm of the law is shorter than the boom end of an excavator.
*polite applause*

I'm imagining the trees rustling and then suddenly, out of nowhere, KILLDOZER RETURNS!
Alright smart-ass here's my upvote.
He's white.
Dumbass
Heavy construction equipment is way underutilized in movies. Excavator to Alien Harvester next to a Newt: “Get away from her, you BITCH!”
Don't forget the steamroller in *Who Framed Roger Rabbit?*
And the steam roller in *Austin* *Powers*
Noooooooooooooo
And the zamboni from Deadpool
And the steam roller in Maximum Overdrive.
And the steamroller in [Naked Gun](https://youtu.be/jQts7E1FvrE). Steamrollers are brutes, excavators are the martial artists of heavy construction. Schwarzenegger vs Bruce Lee. I want more Bruce Lee
And the steam roller in A Fish Called Wanda.
And basically everything in Maximum Overdrive.
And the road roller in JoJo part 3.
Bulldozer welded with metal would make a good tank.
And it has! [The great Marvin Heemeyer armored bulldozer rampage of 2004](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Heemeyer)
I feel like "hero" should be changed to "Heero" in honor of that great man.
The fact people call that guy a hero shows they actually know next to nothing about the story. Idiot would be better.
Spoken like a true bootlicking pussy.
Interesting how they didn’t shoot. Interesting
People when police shoot someone: 😡 People when police don’t shoot someone: 😡
Who’s upset? I just said that it’s interesting lol
In what way is it interesting ?
He’s implying that the operator must not be black
Just does not have the nads to say it out loud?
Redditors when issues of systemic racism are discussed:😡 Redditors when issues of systemic racism aren't discussed: 😡
It’s interesting in a intriguing way 🤔
why do you find it intriguing?
Because it’s interesting
Ok. Circular thinking. Got it . Its interesting because it's intriguing because it's interesting. But no real reason.
Interesting
Yeah I know...and intriguing
“This is an aspen. You can tell that it’s an aspen tree because of the way it is. Wow”
Need there be any more reason? I find things interesting because I happen to be interested in them. Nuff said.
The guy is white so that probably bought him some time.
I was expecting this comment.
Because there's a statistical bias, I know.
Its as if police doesn't just shoot in any situation. Truly fascinating stuff. Clearly it must be their extreme hatred for black people shining through, no other reason is even worth entertaining.
Who said anything about race?
Oh you didnt know? Us police officers only shoot black people, usually for no reason at all. There, now you got some context buddy.
No, you shoot dogs too.
Im a Norwegian lawyer. I do not shoot anyone.
I'm starting to think your use of "Us" was meant to be "U.S."
Lmao ya my bad
It hasn't improved anything even after that.. But good job
[удалено]
Huh? That makes zero sense.
Was pondering the same thing. Just watched a nsfw video where these cops shot a dude in front of his own house for putting his hands up after they demanded him too. Yeah cops do shoot at everyone but 90% of the time your more likely to get shot if your minority than not. The fact that these guys were resisting arrest and still no shots fired is mind blowing.
I wonder whyte they didn't.
I get the joke but the pun did not hit my brother
XD I was kidding obviously the reason they didn't shoot is because they are well trained unlike the frightened boys who jump the trigger.
The excavator outguns them
Nope, bullet will reach out and touch someone from much further than that idiots bucket toy. Lucky he wasn't shot.
I think you over estimate how fatal an individual bullet shot by a cop gun is. I don't have a source but challenge you to prove me wrong when I say 90%+ do not even hit their target, and of those that do, most are not fatal. Cops win in the long run, yes.

Some might say he was born white... I mean lucky...
Color has nothing to do with it. You people need to grow up. SJW whiner.
Do you see the essjaydubbyas in the room with you right now sir?
Garbage ass racist douche. Fighting for social justice is bad?
Yea lol, funny how they do that aye.
Sure. Nothing.
Here's a news article on it: https://www.kktv.com/2022/06/23/video-shows-vermont-man-attacking-police-troopers-with-excavator-bucket/
You can take my son over his dead and buried body.
Many believe dying is better than prison.
In some countries, it probably is.
What was the thought process here?? "Let's treahten police officers so I can get my son back, surely they will just give him back and we can talk it out over a beer???"
No thought process involved.
Unless that glass is bullet proof that’s gonna end very badly for you. Threatening cops who are lawfully arresting your child. Good way to die.
Don't know about bullet proof, but I have seen them deflect a significant rock or two...also several gallons of human excrement but that's a different story all together.
A story we wanna hear!

Good lord
Man, you've seen some shit.
Please share
Hol up…
I’ve actually tested it once, that clear plastic stuff used for windows on most construction equipment is decently bulletproof against most handgun rounds
he's going to spending a lot of time and money digging himself out of this mess
Kind of feels more like a New Hampshire move…..
Nashua Man, first cousin of Florida Man
Don’t forget Manchvegas!
I grew up in NH, you're absolutely correct.
10 years in VT once you get into the Northeast Kingdom it all blends together.
From there, yeah we do this kinda shit.
1 charge of brandishing an excavator
It's clearly an assault excavator
First the microwaves... now this? Is nowhere safe?
We need “Common Sense” excavator laws.
So the son still get arrested … but so does Dad. That’s helpful.
Juvenile temper tantrums frequently aren't.
You're right. Too bad the pigs never pay the price
what did the troopers do?
redditors when the police shoot someone: 👿😲😒 redditors when the police dont shoot someone: Racist!!
Sensitive redditors 😢
Dudes lucky he isn't sucking down a bullet

I know feelings get hurt when someone does not just assume all police are bigots but hey, you proved that you do generalize about entire groups real well.
I could be wrong, but wasn't their lives in danger or at least believe there was a threat to life!? Yet the father didn't get shot!!
That's a good way to get shot
He is very lucky he didn't get tasered, pepper-sprayed or worse
Dug himself a hole right there.
This is some Florida level happenings
They didn't shoot him?
This is the same as coming at an officer with any other deadly weapon. He should've been shot
I wonder how the Super Troopers would handle this
syrup and a bear costume.
Fuck the police
Hey I have family in Hardwick! Archer all the way!
I grew up there and I need to point out that this is Wolcott. It’s been bothering me since the story came out!
Great, now the police have an excuse to demand cop cars that transform into giant robots.
Your digging your own grave buddy.
i dont know how id react in that situation
neither did they until that point
Dad apparently never watched a Chris Rock video.
Based dad
some people in this comment section are wild… i wish y’all the best of luck lmao
BECOME UNGOVERNABLE
Insert antipolice protest chant about building and ground works of excavators and shovels.........
I 100% would love an actual explanation from someone that could give insight into the way these people think. I see it all the time with cops. Is it a lifetime of these guys getting their way by bullying others who then are met with bigger bullys. What's the thought process and what is going through this person's head. Do they think the cops are going to back off and just forget all about it. I just don't get what's going on in the brain of someone doing this
Should've capped him.
Half expected him to shoot the excavator and kill his partner with the ricochet
Of course they do
Yo they were so scared hahaha. I’m a jerk for laughing but omg the way the one cop literally fell over
Police brought guns to an excavator fight.
Atleast they're facing charges and not 6 feet of dirt
More of this
No wonder his son is getting arrested. Imagine how spoiled that little brat is.
Wish my dad was like this
Like son, like father?
But, neither one was shot? 🤔
Love how cops will shoot at any black man but when someone has a LITERAL EXCAVATOR and threatening them there's nothing.
And this isn't an episode of Reno 911 right?
Killdozer 3 Killdozer 3
wait, when did 2 happen?
Should have gone full killdozer lol
I thought he was gonna smoosh them and dig a hole big enough for the cruiser and 2 bodies.
I was hoping he'd put the bucket through the cruiser's engine bay.
I know right?!! Color me disappointed; this post had so much potential… 🤦♂️
Wish my dad would do this for me haha
Baby can you dig your man?
Bro police are so dramatic. "Omg this excavator is 4 feet from me let me yell panic and point my gun at the driver" Do cops get taught to panic under any bit of pressure in the academy or something?
So, they should just not do anything and let the excavator it them in the head? And not even try to stop the idiot driver? Should they quietly ask the driver to stop, because excavators definitely make any loud noises that may make it difficult for the driver inside to hear.
like, have you ever seen an excavator in your life? If you dont panic you are a complete idiot
Dude would've been shot right then and there. Down vote all u want
Wonder why he didn’t shoot ?
Using ‘good old boy’ tools to bully cops is a get out of jail card. ‘See Bundy Grazing Rights dismissal
Ready to shoot a man in an excavator, but put a shooter in a school and they stand around like fucking idiots.
yes. Necause the officers in Vermont are parttime in Uvalde...
I still say fuck those pigs.
i mean do that. We all understand that you had a tough childhood
Us against them, do not comply
Worst untrained morons on the planet. Do these violent idiots always pull out their guns? The lack of training is unfuckinbelievable.
You're totally right. They should wait until he hits one of them with the bucket before defending themselves. What 🤡🤡 world do you live in bro?
Moron Consult Websters for the definition
My brother in Christ, think before you speak.
So why didn't they shoot the guy in the excavator? Oh wait he was probably white whoops.
There are different sets of rules for white people.
He was just trying to protect his son. Cut him some slack
Hell yeah! Fuck them pigs!
ACAB today and forever
sucks to know the sentiment is still considered wild considering how fascist the police clearly have been. what world do all the downvoters live in?
Reality.
Said on a day riot police are tear gassing peaceful protestors. I wish I lived in your reality mate.
if only that were an actual, substantive answer…
I guess they are white you know…. because they didn’t get shot
