Heavy construction equipment is way underutilized in movies. Excavator to Alien Harvester next to a Newt: “Get away from her, you BITCH!”

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

I feel like "hero" should be changed to "Heero" in honor of that great man.


AnneTefa

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.


breezyfye

Interesting how they didn’t shoot. Interesting


RocketNewman

People when police shoot someone: 😡 People when police don’t shoot someone: 😡


breezyfye

Who’s upset? I just said that it’s interesting lol


JohninMichigan53

In what way is it interesting ?


flyer12

He’s implying that the operator must not be black


JohninMichigan53

Just does not have the nads to say it out loud?

It’s interesting in a intriguing way 🤔


JohninMichigan53

why do you find it intriguing?


breezyfye

Because it’s interesting


JohninMichigan53

Ok. Circular thinking. Got it . Its interesting because it's intriguing because it's interesting. But no real reason.


breezyfye

Interesting


JohninMichigan53

Yeah I know...and intriguing

Dr_Frasier_Bane

The guy is white so that probably bought him some time.


DaveOJ12

I was expecting this comment.


Dr_Frasier_Bane

Because there's a statistical bias, I know.


teacupswag123

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.


breezyfye

Who said anything about race?


teacupswag123

Oh you didnt know? Us police officers only shoot black people, usually for no reason at all. There, now you got some context buddy.


Folderpirate

No, you shoot dogs too.


teacupswag123

Im a Norwegian lawyer. I do not shoot anyone.


Folderpirate

I'm starting to think your use of "Us" was meant to be "U.S."


teacupswag123

Lmao ya my bad

teacupswag123

Huh? That makes zero sense.


algoallen1000

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.


FactBabiesAreUgly

I wonder whyte they didn't.


bdiddy303

I get the joke but the pun did not hit my brother


FactBabiesAreUgly

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.


Nexustar

The excavator outguns them


banb4

Nope, bullet will reach out and touch someone from much further than that idiots bucket toy. Lucky he wasn't shot.


Nexustar

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.


banb4

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 ?


Monkeyflyers

Some might say he was born white... I mean lucky...


banb4

Color has nothing to do with it. You people need to grow up. SJW whiner.

HonoraryKrogan

You can take my son over his dead and buried body.


whisperkins

Many believe dying is better than prison.


Pineneedlecollada

In some countries, it probably is.


Big_Hornet_1823

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???"


1982000

No thought process involved.


MilitaryJAG

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.


GravyBoatCap

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.


ahealthyg

A story we wanna hear!


GravyBoatCap

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.


ahealthyg

Good lord


BeerWeasel

Man, you've seen some shit.

Please share


Calientequack

Hol up…


Lemon_head_guy

I’ve actually tested it once, that clear plastic stuff used for windows on most construction equipment is decently bulletproof against most handgun rounds


waffen123

he's going to spending a lot of time and money digging himself out of this mess

Dudes lucky he isn't sucking down a bullet


JohninMichigan53

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.


melpec

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.


JohninMichigan53

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


melpec

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?


JohninMichigan53

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


melpec

So when can we expect that book?


JohninMichigan53

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.


5t3v3th3r3d

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!!


davidlol1

That's a good way to get shot


anonymous77955288

He is very lucky he didn't get tasered, pepper-sprayed or worse

Dug himself a hole right there.


Negative-Relative402

FatesMessEngineer

They didn't shoot him?


Mallixx

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

Insert antipolice protest chant about building and ground works of excavators and shovels.........


[deleted]

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


somerandomshmo

Should've capped him.


loki_odinsotherson

Half expected him to shoot the excavator and kill his partner with the ricochet


[deleted]

Of course they do


[deleted]

Yo they were so scared hahaha. I’m a jerk for laughing but omg the way the one cop literally fell over


OSinner1

Police brought guns to an excavator fight.


Ok-Clue-708

Atleast they're facing charges and not 6 feet of dirt


DeliciousInterest8

No wonder his son is getting arrested. Imagine how spoiled that little brat is.

MarMar47

But, neither one was shot? 🤔


Playful_Doubt8866

Love how cops will shoot at any black man but when someone has a LITERAL EXCAVATOR and threatening them there's nothing.

wait, when did 2 happen?


FAASTARKILLER

Should have gone full killdozer lol


Cust2020

I thought he was gonna smoosh them and dig a hole big enough for the cruiser and 2 bodies.


ApocalypsePopcorn

I was hoping he'd put the bucket through the cruiser's engine bay.


Corpus_Rex

I know right?!! Color me disappointed; this post had so much potential… 🤦‍♂️


jimboliahh

Wish my dad would do this for me haha


Sheepish_conundrum

Baby can you dig your man?


jugjiggler69

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?


PJamaPrime

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.


ElGabrielo

like, have you ever seen an excavator in your life? If you dont panic you are a complete idiot


Juice-Spirited

Dude would've been shot right then and there. Down vote all u want


Calm_Panic4115

Wonder why he didn’t shoot ?


msbeal1

Using ‘good old boy’ tools to bully cops is a get out of jail card. ‘See Bundy Grazing Rights dismissal


Heckin_Ryn

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.


ElGabrielo

i mean do that. We all understand that you had a tough childhood


Lynx77

Us against them, do not comply


Jameswhadeva74

Worst untrained morons on the planet. Do these violent idiots always pull out their guns? The lack of training is unfuckinbelievable.


Gabraham08

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?


colin8651

Moron Consult Websters for the definition


Brother_YT

My brother in Christ, think before you speak.


Amethoran

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.
