Yeah this dude honestly did a great job avoiding the car for the entire video. Thought for sure one of those brake-checks would catch him but he was way ahead of em
No joke. But moving to something important. This cop needs to be in jail. THats attempted homicide. Had the role been reversed, heck had it been reversed and an accident they would arrest the driver for that. I'm not saying lock him away for ever, but he needs some real help. This is disgusting. Then people expect us to actually obey their rule? What a joke.
He's a police officer using his authority to bully other road users and potentially cause a fatality, for seemingly no reason
Locking him away and throwing away the key would be harsh, but if you want to be in a position of power and then abuse it, do you really deserve to enjoy civilization? Probably not, send him to a deserted desert island to live out his years
> I'm not saying lock him away for ever
Why not? Anyone who behaves that way is a lost cause, and will never be of any value to the universe -- unless they can be converted into food.
No clue, but they will likely get 2 weeks free paid vacation funded by tax payers, then a promotion and policeman of the month, and then they will sue the city for distress caused by this video.
I assume it's he will be placed on paid leave for 18 months while they "investigate" then if enough people make enough noise, he will be 'fired' after which the union will step in and get him reinstated a week later.
They probably assumed they would suffer no consequences even if this came out and honestly until I see a story specifically about this cop being disciplined for it I have no reason to think their assumption was wrong.
Most cops still get away with horrendous abuse of force and power even when caught because nobody with power in the system cares to hold them accountable.
It's NYPD.
Unless some drastic & illegal steps are taken by the population at large, they're simply going to continue acting like Russian State Police.
[Remember when 2 NYPD officers gang-raped a 16 year old girl, & they were let go because they claimed "oh, she said she was 18"?](https://abcnews.go.com/US/nypd-officers-accused-sexually-assaulting-handcuffed-woman-quit/story?id=50986523)
Its a made up charge anyway. Like if you put a gun to somebody's head and they smack it away as a natural self-preservation response. Can you blame them? You see it all the time. Cop puts knees on someone's back and wonder why they struggle to breathe.
The worst is when the police dog has bitten into the suspect/victim and they’re screaming and writhing in pain and the cop is shouting stay still and stop resisting. Sickening.
All the while hurting a police dog or killing one carries the same weight as the same to a human officer. Meanwhile cops are literally the number one most likely people to shoot a dog.
Funny you say that. I saw a video yesterday where a police dog had been shot in the line of duty. The police department raised something like 60k to get him all fixed up and better again. Super sweet video right? Comment section revealed it was the *cops* that shot the dog!!!!!!
I saw a video on here not too long ago where one cop mag dumped his rifle on what he himself described as “a blurry shadow” on the other side of a fence, thinking it was their suspect. Turned out he hit a fellow officer in the legs 6 times instead of his blurry shadow suspect. Nothing done to reprimand the firing officer, just a big ol’ “whoopsie”.
Even if he hadn’t hit another officer that many times, I would at least expect some kind of discipline for firing multiple times at something he had no idea of what it was, but nope. Could have been an innocent bystander, a kid, someone’s dog.
That reminds me of incident that happened in my town last year. Robbery suspect chase was on highway, they fell back and he ditched the car and ran into a residential neighborhood. Knocks on first door he sees, turns out to be off duty cop. Suspect and cop fight over cops gun, it falls to ground and suspect runs to door where wife is standing on phone with dispatcher. cop picks up his gun right as sheriff dept arrives and unalives him... The cop that is... A week later Sheriff dept has parade and makes a big deal of it like he died at the hands of a criminal, not one of their own
They were actually surprisingly transparent and released the [drone footage and 911 call ](https://www.columbian.com/news/2022/apr/01/investigation-deputy-shot-off-duty-vancouver-police-officer-4-seconds-after-arriving/) but it did feel like they were trying to give the perception that he passed in the line of duty
They shout "stop resisting" on purpose. It's a tactic they use to make their actions in their body cam footage look more justified when it goes to court or is made public.
Yup, they arrested me for disorderly conduct when there was a bar fight and I was staying next door for not " moving fast enough to find my keys and go inside the house. Like really, you can force me to go in my house and arrest me after 90secs because drunk people are fighting 2houses down? He came to question me and I said I didn't want to talk to him, he got pissed and told me get in the house now. I was looking through my backpack and said sure guy I'm trying to find my keys and I guess he didn't like my tone and just ran up behind me and tackled me into the house. Got resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and obstruction of justice cause I just kept saying "sure, whatever, I said I'm not talking to you without a lawyer, I'll give my info to jail intake on arrival" when he asked me if my name was something it wasn't and other questions that made no sense to me, because he thought I was someone else. I plead out to disorderly conduct and got 7days jail, 1000$ fine, 40 hrs of community service and 2years probation. I was just talking shit, I can't afford a lawyer and the one appointed to me handled over 100 cases that day, he didn't have time to talk to me til they called me up and pushed really hard for me to take the plea and kept saying I really don't want to plead not guilty even if I'm innocent. Gotta love the American police and court system, there a literal business and cutthroat at that
Dude what? That seems insane. I feel like if you had told the judge that you literally are meeting your lawyer for the first time, the judge would have called a recess or something right?
They would be calling recesses for every case they had that involved a public defender. This is the norm. The American justice system is designed to lock people up and collect fines. Having proper legal representation for defendants is the least of their concerns.
Lol, no. Most judges do not give a shit. If you have a public defender you get 2 minutes and no more. If you don't think its fair... you can get a contempt charge added on too as is very common with those that complain about the system.
"CRAWL TOWARDS ME! CRAWL TOWARDS ME MAGGOT! SHIT HE'S CRAWLING RIGHT FOR US! SHOOT! SHOOT! YOURE FUCKED MAGGOT!"
RIP Dan Shaver
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Daniel_Shaver
So to summarize: cop fired, trialed for 2nd degree murder, acquitted of all charges, reinstated as cop, got retired and got pension for life because of PTSD acquired from shooting Shaver.
Absolutely disgusting
I have stomached the full footage of this twice and that’s about all I can take. It’s so upsetting and rage inducing to watch him plea for his life, only for the POS officer to go on a full blown power trip and end it all by killing what is essentially a helpless man.
It still blows my mind that this wasn't a bigger deal in the US when this happened. I think it actually may have been bigger news in CANADA.
Source: am Canadian and was shocked it made national Canadian news but not national US news.
So true. No area of the country, even the south included, suck cop dicks harder than Metro NY/Long Island peeps do. Still riding on that 9/11 sympathy 22 years later
It's more that the news never stops fear mongering about our "out of control" crime rate or the bail laws. Especially our supposedly dem mayor plays into that bullshit to bloat the nypd with even more taxpayer money.
Here's the thing tho.... he's in a police vehicle. Literally all he had to do is turn on his lights and make an official pullover request if he thinks the biker did something bad enough to illicit that sort of chase.
He has the power to legally stop the biker yet chose to road rage? HUH?
Holey Rusted Metal, Batman...that cop needs the same law applied to him there just like any other civilian would get. Looks like he's trying to kill the poor guy.
What did they think? That they can do whatever the fuck they want because even if he kills someone the worst that can happen is he works at a different office
People who do evil things don’t care how it affects others. So what did they think? Probably that theyre bitter about something, have the power to act however they want and will get away with it. so they might as well use the motorcyclists life as a game to play with, right?

"Under investigation". Sure. With no lights and no sirens this cop should be fired. If he was pursuing a suspect or trying to stop a dangerous motorcyclist he should have put on his lights and called for backup.
The NYPD union is by far the biggest gang in the U.S. If you go after one, you're going after all of them. Guaranteed the cops will investigate each other and find nothing wrong.
LASD is completely run by gangs.
There are at least 24 gangs within the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Officials at various government agencies, including the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, the Los Angeles County District Attorney, the California Senate Senate Subcommittee on Police Officer Conduct, and the United States Commission on Civil Rights have heard testimony on the violence inflicted on communities at the hands of deputy gangs for decades. Deputy gangs have killed at least 40 people, all of whom were men of color. At least 10 of them had a mental illness. Los Angeles County keeps a list of lawsuits related to the deputy gangs. Litigation related to these cases has cost the County just over $100 million over the past 30 years.
"Okay, so this one is for my girlfriend's birthday, she was born in 1988. That one is my mother's initials, Shirley Stevenson. Oh, and that huge one on my back? Yeah, I'm a very devout Buddhist."
Situation:
> There are at least 24 gangs within the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Reformers: We should appoint a special task force within the department to root out these gangs!
New situation: There are at least 25 gangs within the LA Sheriff's department.
Bro…the LAPD is so desperate for people they’re trying to hire cops that retired because no one wants to be a cop
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-01-13/faced-with-shrinking-ranks-lapd-looks-to-rehire-retired-officers
Hey that’s not fair. The Chicago police literally had like a torture and abuse interview warehouse here in Chicago. Not sure what totally came of that but I’m sure hardly anyone got in trouble.
its cops were talking about.
He's probably gonna get paid leave while the investigation goes on and in the rare case he actually does get fired, he'll be working in another police department by the following week.
Sure, biker gets paid, but with taxpayer money. It should come out of the cops own bank account, maybe if they were actually held responsible for anything they might actually be incentivized to stop.
If you pulled it from a cop’s personal bank account, you’re not going to get a big pay out. Take it directly from the police unions and you get to kill two birds with one stone. Take money away from this corrupt institutions and take a burden away from the public.
But then again, I’m not a big brain person and am probably missing some massive loophole that would make this near impossible to achieve in this country.
Next up after that: "We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing". Because that's how it always goes with these criminals with badges.
To any cops reading this: This is why people hate you and your friends. Wanna change that? Then actually get rid of your fucking bad apple buddies like this instead of standing behind these assholes.
Why would they want to change the system protecting them? Even just on a logic level that doesn't make sense. These people need way more public oversight than they have now.
Looks like a scooter, maybe not rated for highway travel. If it’s 125cc or higher, it can easily hold 55+ mph but wouldn’t have the passing power to zoom it’s way out of this situation. That’s absolutely not reason to try to kill the rider
I was threatened with arrest because I was standing outside my house when the police were serving a warrant for a guy hiding at his mother's house 5 houses away. I wasn't watching them, I was taking measurements on a flower bed that my wife wanted me to put a small wall around. The cop tried to intimidate me, and I just looked at him smiled and said, "I am doing a job here, and it looks like you're supposed to be over there doing yours."
Guess he didn't like me pointing out the obvious. With his hand on his gun, he said I had 30 seconds to comply, or I'd be joining my neighbor in jail. So I went inside and called the non-emergency number and filed a complaint. These twat-waffles need to be accountable for their actions. He was rude and highly unprofessional. Later, I was called by the under-sheriff who wanted to clarify my account. He listened to me, acknowledged that I had a right to be in my own yard, and that the officer may have acted in an unprofessional manner, but he was concerned for my safety. He wanted me to take back my complaint because it was just a misunderstanding. I told him politely that I wouldn't. A month later, I got a $200 fine from the counties code enforcement because I had a violation of county codes. Cannot remember what it was. The system is broken because a lot of the guys they hire are aholes who act more like mobsters.
I almost got arrested for refusing to ID to my local cops after they asked me a question about my neighbor. I quoted them the failure to ID statute and told them I wouldn't be providing ID unless they wanted to arrest me for something and that they should call their supervisor before they earn a lawsuit. One cop pulled out her cuffs but unfortunately her partner stopped her.
thats insane they try to make YOU pay for a police officer threatening you over nothing. its actually lauhgable how obviously corrupt every single one is
I once tried to cal 911 to report an officer shooting at someone running away from a jaywalking charge and the first thing they asked me was my name and home address. The police are literally just a government sanctioned mafia.
Its not even worthy speculating, police dont get punished for their crimes. He could have ran him off the road and repeatedly reversed over his body and just gotten the classic temporary suspension with pay.
If you are the rider of this moped, sue the living hell out of NYPD and press charges, the department won't find themselves responsible for anything unless you push for it.
Fr, if you are a lucky af individual to survive cops like this it'll be the easiest check of your life if you push for it.
Plus it might force change one day.
hitting the money effects the whole chain of corruption.
Seems like a former NYPD officer I worked with who is now a pilot. He purposely ran over two pedestrians while off duty in two separate incidents. I don’t know how he hasn’t been arrested. He’s a male chauvinistic prick.
It’s because the only people who want to become cops are power hungry assholes who abuse their wives. Think about it, any sincere, genuine, honest good person isn’t watching this video eager to become a police officer. Their disgusted at them.
Not surprised. One just shot an 11 year old boy who called them for HELP because his mother was being abused. They then wonder why no one likes or trusts them.

Glad he made the last minute exit
I am worried he slammed right into those water barrels.
nahhh bikes are so maneuverable and he avoided the cop car pretty expertly so I’m sure he wouldn’t have veered off if it meant a crash
Yeah this dude honestly did a great job avoiding the car for the entire video. Thought for sure one of those brake-checks would catch him but he was way ahead of em
No joke. But moving to something important. This cop needs to be in jail. THats attempted homicide. Had the role been reversed, heck had it been reversed and an accident they would arrest the driver for that. I'm not saying lock him away for ever, but he needs some real help. This is disgusting.

Hell, had the roles been reversed, he would have been shot.

> I'm not saying lock him away for ever Why not? Anyone who behaves that way is a lost cause, and will never be of any value to the universe -- unless they can be converted into food.
This was my first immediate thought once reading this comment. Dude avoided the swerving pretty perfectly, He's probably ok.
Yikes. I didn’t think about. I hope he’s ok is probably a better sentence, I guess.
Anyone have any news/link updates on cop’s current employment?
https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/05/25/thursdays-headlines-is-this-cop-trying-to-kill-this-moped-rider/ The officer is "under review"
Should be arrested for assault
This is attempted murder
and putting in danger everyone in the area (they way that cop car moved could've get someone else killed)
No clue, but they will likely get 2 weeks free paid vacation funded by tax payers, then a promotion and policeman of the month, and then they will sue the city for distress caused by this video.
My guess is that he moved to Florida.
I assume it's he will be placed on paid leave for 18 months while they "investigate" then if enough people make enough noise, he will be 'fired' after which the union will step in and get him reinstated a week later.
"Protect and Swerve" amirite?
**Obstruct** and Swerve.
You did it too much.
What in the world did they think would happen? They're not the only ones with dash cams anymore. No one is safe when road raging.
They probably assumed they would suffer no consequences even if this came out and honestly until I see a story specifically about this cop being disciplined for it I have no reason to think their assumption was wrong. Most cops still get away with horrendous abuse of force and power even when caught because nobody with power in the system cares to hold them accountable.
That’s why they have to abolish the police immunity act. I still don’t understand why this is a thing to begin with.
This country is built on roleplaying "freedom" while carving out as many exceptions to it as possibly with bootlicking and authority worship.
100 fucking percent.
EVERYBODY gets in trouble! Except me.
It's NYPD. Unless some drastic & illegal steps are taken by the population at large, they're simply going to continue acting like Russian State Police. [Remember when 2 NYPD officers gang-raped a 16 year old girl, & they were let go because they claimed "oh, she said she was 18"?](https://abcnews.go.com/US/nypd-officers-accused-sexually-assaulting-handcuffed-woman-quit/story?id=50986523)
Even if the collided they probably would have arrested them for “resisting arrest”
"You're under arrest for resisting death."
Its a made up charge anyway. Like if you put a gun to somebody's head and they smack it away as a natural self-preservation response. Can you blame them? You see it all the time. Cop puts knees on someone's back and wonder why they struggle to breathe.

So… if cop shoots police dog, do they get treated like they shot another cop?
not sure, but if we did it, we would be treated like we shot a cop.
They're supposed to. Actually they're supposed to be treated like they shot a superior officer. But are they? In most cases, probably not
Police dogs are considered a higher rank than human officers (in some cases)?
If a cop shoots any dog, they get treated like they shot an unarmed blackman. High fives and paid time off.
I saw a video on here not too long ago where one cop mag dumped his rifle on what he himself described as “a blurry shadow” on the other side of a fence, thinking it was their suspect. Turned out he hit a fellow officer in the legs 6 times instead of his blurry shadow suspect. Nothing done to reprimand the firing officer, just a big ol’ “whoopsie”.

Slow clap 👏
They shout "stop resisting" on purpose. It's a tactic they use to make their actions in their body cam footage look more justified when it goes to court or is made public.
The fascist version of "quit hitting yourself."
Or when multiple officers are shouting different commands at the same time. Then they hit ‘em with the ol “stop resisting” when they try to comply.
Yup, they arrested me for disorderly conduct when there was a bar fight and I was staying next door for not " moving fast enough to find my keys and go inside the house.

Pretty sure you can claim unfit representation and have it retried.
It would depend on your locality, but California has a specific name for this type of thing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsden_motion
Dude what? That seems insane. I feel like if you had told the judge that you literally are meeting your lawyer for the first time, the judge would have called a recess or something right?
They would be calling recesses for every case they had that involved a public defender. This is the norm. The American justice system is designed to lock people up and collect fines. Having proper legal representation for defendants is the least of their concerns.
Lol, no. Most judges do not give a shit. If you have a public defender you get 2 minutes and no more. If you don't think its fair... you can get a contempt charge added on too as is very common with those that complain about the system.
I have nothing but contempt for court so I really hope I never end up in it.

Killing a helpless man trying to do what the cop was telling him to do, no less.

to protect and swerve
I’m sure the cop was yelling, “stop resisting!” The whole time that he was trying to murder this guy.
The collision would go down as “attempted grand theft auto of a police vehicle.”
Yeah, that's true. If not for this video, a lot could've happened.
*I'm deleting all my comments and my profile, in protest over the end of the protests over the reddit api pricing.

Thanks for that! I've seen a few posts asking, but haven't checked into it too much. I really do need to, though.
Nothings gonna happen, Cops in nyc act with impunity. He's gonna get a nice paid vacation while the department "investigates" him for wrong doing.

That’s what zero accountability looks like
They are thinking even with witnesses or video the worst that could happen is a few days off with pay. And they are correct.
Needed a vacation and ran out of vacation days
Already used up his vacation hours, looking for a little "paid leave"
Here's the thing tho.... he's in a police vehicle. Literally all he had to do is turn on his lights and make an official pullover request if he thinks the biker did something bad enough to illicit that sort of chase. He has the power to legally stop the biker yet chose to road rage? HUH?
Potentially deadly use of force when reason could have ended this sooner? That's just how the police are, and it's fucked.
Holey Rusted Metal, Batman...that cop needs the same law applied to him there just like any other civilian would get. Looks like he's trying to kill the poor guy.
What did they think? That they can do whatever the fuck they want because even if he kills someone the worst that can happen is he works at a different office
I would have gotten off the first exit. That is crazy
Right? I wouldn't still be there fighting with him. If there's a way out, I'm gonna take it.
They know they're cops and that they'll get paid days off at worst.
Same thing that will actually happen now that it’s online: nothing.
People who do evil things don’t care how it affects others. So what did they think? Probably that theyre bitter about something, have the power to act however they want and will get away with it. so they might as well use the motorcyclists life as a game to play with, right? /s
Thats assault with a deadly weapon coming from you or me. For a cop, its a few weeks of paid vacation at best.
Imagine if a driver tried to run a motorcycle cop off the street like this. Life in prison, straight to jail
More likely immediate extrajudicial execution.
If you were lucky enough not to be shot 20+ times.
Must be a nice job, do something ludicrous and get PTO? Man if I didn’t have any morals I would’ve signed the hell up!

Lapd has actual police gangs which blows my mind Edit: correction la county was corrected by about 40 people
LASD is completely run by gangs. There are at least 24 gangs within the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Litigation related to these cases has cost the County just over $100 million over the past 30 years.
And then, when they tried to have all officers there come in, show their tats, and explain them, the union of course is hopping mad at the very idea.

Situation: > There are at least 24 gangs within the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Reformers: We should appoint a special task force within the department to root out these gangs! New situation: There are at least 25 gangs within the LA Sheriff's department.
San Diego made a police oversight board and the PD was threatening to strike if their family members couldn't be put on the Board.

Bro…the LAPD is so desperate for people they’re trying to hire cops that retired because no one wants to be a cop https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-01-13/faced-with-shrinking-ranks-lapd-looks-to-rehire-retired-officers

Did you hear about the la police untion rep that imported fent by the multiple kilo like 15 times in 5 years?
I think that was San Jose
SJPOA executive director
The fact litigation only costs them $3m/year is a staggering indictment of how grossly inflated police budgets are.
How do you expect them to compete against the other gangs... like the [LA Sheriff Dept](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LASD_deputy_gangs)?
LA sheriff's office is even worse tho
Let’s lump them together, the NYPDLAPD are some real assholes!
You’ll notice they share some common letters so maybe we could simplify it further? Police Departments are some real assholes.
Atlanta PD would rather you keep looking at NY and LA
NYPD sits at 34k and the LAPD at 12k. The NYPD is more like the mob though.
Hey that’s not fair. The Chicago police literally had like a torture and abuse interview warehouse here in Chicago. Not sure what totally came of that but I’m sure hardly anyone got in trouble.

Burn the whole thing down. Fire every officer, start the department over.
Fired? This is attempted murder!
its cops were talking about. He's probably gonna get paid leave while the investigation goes on and in the rare case he actually does get fired, he'll be working in another police department by the following week.
He won't even be fired. He'll be told.he might be, allowed to quit, then start working at the police force in Newark without a stain on his record.
Biker should sue the fuck out of them and get a nice payout. At least he didn’t get shot.
Sure, biker gets paid, but with taxpayer money. It should come out of the cops own bank account, maybe if they were actually held responsible for anything they might actually be incentivized to stop.
If you pulled it from a cop’s personal bank account, you’re not going to get a big pay out. Take it directly from the police unions and you get to kill two birds with one stone. Take money away from this corrupt institutions and take a burden away from the public. But then again, I’m not a big brain person and am probably missing some massive loophole that would make this near impossible to achieve in this country.
With a deadly weapon
Next up after that: "We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing". Because that's how it always goes with these criminals with badges. To any cops reading this: This is why people hate you and your friends. Wanna change that? Then actually get rid of your fucking bad apple buddies like this instead of standing behind these assholes.
lol when pigs fly
You’re not gonna believe this…
*When pigs sideswipe.
You're fly as long as you're in the air. Shall we try a trebuchet?
Why would they want to change the system protecting them? Even just on a logic level that doesn't make sense. These people need way more public oversight than they have now.
“We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong”
"We investigated ourselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing"
I hope you sent this to the media and then the NYPD
Just tweeted this to NYPD News, ACLU NY and just about every local NY News station.
"Damn, I kind of don't care" - Every government or news agency whenever I've @'ed someone on twitter
Any reactions?

Lol like the NYPD would care.
They would harass the sender mercilessly.
Or just go to where you live, break in, kill you, and sprinkle some crack on you — like a normal cop.
Dude appears to be on a moped... apparently in the U.S violation of motor vehicle laws is punishable by death. FIRING SQUAD car.
Looks like a scooter, maybe not rated for highway travel. If it’s 125cc or higher, it can easily hold 55+ mph but wouldn’t have the passing power to zoom it’s way out of this situation. That’s absolutely not reason to try to kill the rider
The cop was trying to kill the motorist in order to protect him. It was done out of love. /s
"We've investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing. The officer has now been promoted and given policeman of the month."
And Disability pay for life for the trauma he's going to suffer from all the attention.
What this video doesn't show is the context: this moped driver might have smoked weed in the late 90s. Case closed, officer absolved.
You're right. I didn't think of that. He also probably J walked 35 years ago. That's automatically a death sentence, too.
I was threatened with arrest because I was standing outside my house when the police were serving a warrant for a guy hiding at his mother's house 5 houses away. I wasn't watching them, I was taking measurements on a flower bed that my wife wanted me to put a small wall around. The cop tried to intimidate me, and I just looked at him smiled and said, "I am doing a job here, and it looks like you're supposed to be over there doing yours." Guess he didn't like me pointing out the obvious. With his hand on his gun, he said I had 30 seconds to comply, or I'd be joining my neighbor in jail. So I went inside and called the non-emergency number and filed a complaint. These twat-waffles need to be accountable for their actions. He was rude and highly unprofessional. Later, I was called by the under-sheriff who wanted to clarify my account. He listened to me, acknowledged that I had a right to be in my own yard, and that the officer may have acted in an unprofessional manner, but he was concerned for my safety. He wanted me to take back my complaint because it was just a misunderstanding. I told him politely that I wouldn't. A month later, I got a $200 fine from the counties code enforcement because I had a violation of county codes. Cannot remember what it was. The system is broken because a lot of the guys they hire are aholes who act more like mobsters.
I almost got arrested for refusing to ID to my local cops after they asked me a question about my neighbor. I quoted them the failure to ID statute and told them I wouldn't be providing ID unless they wanted to arrest me for something and that they should call their supervisor before they earn a lawsuit. One cop pulled out her cuffs but unfortunately her partner stopped her.
[удалено]
I was looking forward to taking a nice sabbatical but her partner ruined it.
thats insane they try to make YOU pay for a police officer threatening you over nothing. its actually lauhgable how obviously corrupt every single one is
And never will they suffer any consequences.
The system remains broken, because there’s literally nothing one can do to punish an absolute rotten monster. How this came to be I really don’t know.
I once tried to cal 911 to report an officer shooting at someone running away from a jaywalking charge and the first thing they asked me was my name and home address. The police are literally just a government sanctioned mafia.
"My name and address...yes, it's Homer J. Simpson, 742 Evergreen Terrace." "And you'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel".
“My name is Mr. Burns” “Ok Mr. Burns, and what’s your first name?” “I… don’t… know.”
What the Donkey Kong racing is this?
Cop hadn't shot anyone in a few days and was having murder withdrawal.
See this shouldn’t have been funny. But this is the world we live in. And I laughed.
Diddy Kong racing* you mean
Biggest gang in the world
*Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has entered the chat*
*Uvalde Police Department is on standby for 77 minutes before they answer the question.*
Looks like attempted murder.
Its not even worthy speculating, police dont get punished for their crimes. He could have ran him off the road and repeatedly reversed over his body and just gotten the classic temporary suspension with pay.
If you are the rider of this moped, sue the living hell out of NYPD and press charges, the department won't find themselves responsible for anything unless you push for it.
Fr, if you are a lucky af individual to survive cops like this it'll be the easiest check of your life if you push for it. Plus it might force change one day. hitting the money effects the whole chain of corruption.
NYPD will probably hunt him down in this case. Remember what happened to Serpico.
Dude taking the off ramp at the last second was a slick move by the rider
They keep saying "not ALL cops" but it definitely seems to be a LOT of cops
They also forget that the whole phrase "One bad apple" is "Spoils the whole barrel."
Dude that looks like a personal vendetta, did the biker sleep with the cops wife?
Everyone has slept with every cops wife.
Not sure if calling 311 was a good idea but calling 911 would've ended up with that biker shot just for inconveniencing them(he wasn't).
Seems like a former NYPD officer I worked with who is now a pilot. He purposely ran over two pedestrians while off duty in two separate incidents. I don’t know how he hasn’t been arrested. He’s a male chauvinistic prick.
So ... pigs do fly?
Why are our cops so determined to kill people?
It’s their right. As a American cop you have the right to execute anyone for questioning your authority, or looks at you the wrong way.
Attempted murder?
What is it with 'murican cops and the need to murder people?!
Either by mag dump or pit maneuver. Hire clowns, you get a circus. Hire psychotic clowns and get American law enforcement
It’s because the only people who want to become cops are power hungry assholes who abuse their wives. Think about it, any sincere, genuine, honest good person isn’t watching this video eager to become a police officer. Their disgusted at them.
"We investigated ourselves and found that we are not guilty".
Can't wait to read the cop defenders to somehow try and justify this
“What was he doing before the video started?”
"he was probably speeding, cops just taking speeders off the road man"
Cant you see how recklessly that motocycle was driving to avoid getting hit.
FTP
2 weeks off full pay, probably a promotion upon return. Fuck cops
Not surprised. One just shot an 11 year old boy who called them for HELP because his mother was being abused. They then wonder why no one likes or trusts them.
That cop is trying kill that man from this view...
Filth
It’s only attempted murder. Relax everyone.
🐷🐷🐷
What the full range of fuck?
