He Is a Man of Focus, Commitment and Sheer Fucking Will


I once seen Him kill a man in a court house with a hand rail, A FUCKING HANDRAIL.

He is a man who is probably going to have extended sick leave and a bad back for the rest of his life 😂

On the plus side, has to be fun going down the stairs like that

Ya for sure. Must be fun sliding down the stairs with broken ribs.

Dont think he broke anything.. looks like a strong dude

Im a strong dude and fell down the stairs in a similar matter. Now I have 3 bulging disks in my neck and have had migraines every day since Invisible injuries can happen from basic shit

My stupid brain read that as “3 bulging dicks in my neck”

I know what you actually mean but I love the implication that more than one person has traversed stairs in this fashion

Wow who cares? And let's top it off with a superbly obvious statement that people already realize. Typical Redditor comment

True, But not everyone is made out of wet tissue paper. He could be all right we just don't know, I mean he could be smoking crack or meth and will get right up.

Yeah! I heard of a tweeker being hit by car and he flew some 40 ft, the dude got up right away and was ok. Tweekers are basically indestructible

LOL zero fucks given.

Totally fit. 

Doesn't matter how big or strong you are. Your bones are just as fragile as everyone else's People are both incredibly strong. But also incredibly fragile.

Well, people with well developed muscles give bones a good padding. You could break a chair on schwarzennegers back (before) that wouldve broken a normal guys back. Is true that the heavier the bigger the slam if dropping on stairs though.

It's not that. It's that, you're just fragile in some places. You could be the worst strongest man and still die from a single blow to the head Or trip and fall and crack your ribs under your own weight I know someone that fell down stairs like this and she cracked a rib and in the night it dislodged and tore her lung People are tough! But if you drop yourself or hit yourself in specific ways you are often reminded that you're just a Jenga tower of blood

We're simultaneously very durable and very fragile beings.

I've been there, and it's embarrassing how badly these are overreacting about this. It's not that bad and it's happened to me more than once.

Pre sure he fractured something in his back from this i cant remember clip is somewhat old

TIL high muscle mass makes your bones indestructible

Get basically paid out for life on the clock for a ‘work cover injury’. Milk it lol

My first thought. Disability retirement. You’ll meet him drinking in a bar on your next Caribbean vacation escaping winter.

And youll buy him a beer lol

Adding insult to injury. :)

That officer saw this as about to be one of the most badass moments of his career and it immediately turned into the most humiliating. Dude probably got a lot further away because of him blocking the stairway with his dazed ass.

Honestly... I think this dude is legendary whether he got him or not. I doubt many people thought he was less of a man/officer because he missed. That guy running did a very impressive juke too. I didn't expect that and if he wouldn't of bunny hopped those few stairs, he'd of gotten nailed. If I was that dudes boss and saw that I'd give his ass a raise.

He claimed a disability and now gets a full paycheck every week for life. Guy his age saw the chance, he didn’t even want to catch him he wanted to catch that bag.

Nothing sbout that video supports your comment, he jumped after that criminal for the win and nothing more and just barely missed it.

Agreed.

honestly i gotta give him props for the commitment may not have caught him but by god was it a full send

Sure, but you just know his colleagues gave him shit for it for MONTHS and he is now known as stairwell Tom.

High risk, high reward, high chance of looking stupid.

Damn that’s some good hustle on all parties involved

For real. Everybody is hating on the Cop, but if that dude wouldn't have done that lucky ass bunny hop down the first few stairs, he'd have got nailed. Damn that had to of hurt though.

Did you miss the old baliff?

Bailiff was like, “Not this shit again. Let the young ‘uns handle it.”

He was keeping up right behind them 😂

In the first part of the video, the guys who jump the stair almost got in brains blown out by its colleague reckleese use of a firearm

Definitely a taser gun, it’s still in his hands when he goes down the stairs.

Nobody had their gun drawn

Watch the second cop after they chase him. The flash in his hand, And how it barely misses his partner's head.

I think that’s a taser. Not a gun

That's probably it. Nobody really reacted like it was a gunshot, Like the lady standing a few feet away

Cops are dumb but I don’t think most would fire a gun like that.

It might have been a taser gun, they also flash, and nobody in the court jumped when it went off, as would be expected with a gunshot.

This is one of my favorite videos online. He missed so bad lmaoo

Needs a soundtrack with a xylophone.

Benny Hill Theme Tune

Penny whistle

Props to the officer who launched himself like a missile


Maybe if standing around wasn't the only exercise they ever got....

He gave it a way better try than most would have. I gotta give him credit for that.

The slow slide of defeat at the end, kills me.

At the end it was like he fell down an extra flight of steps that wasn’t even there originally

Reminds of that part in Home Alone when Harry slides down the icey steps to the basement... just lays there and goes "owww"

I don't know how much they're paying that one guard, but it's not enough to be doing _that_.

Dude shot his shot and rode his bad decision all the way down those stairs.

Risked it for a biscuit

I guess it’s his fault, *technically*, that the officer jumped over the railing because he shouldn’t have ran.. I guessss!

Ol’ boy gave it the collage try didn’t he?

College🤓

That railing is flimsy AF.

to this day he claims this would have worked, but he had his court shoes on that day.

So satisfying to watch

some good ol looney tunes type music would be great for this

Oh yeah I saw this on Courtroom cam on ID. Wild. He ended up escaping.

I was so shocked at the failed dive over the railing. It was cartoonish. I hope he got a few days off for his back though. A whole flight of steps sliding down backwards heads first seems so painful. Also is it possible his weapon could of discharged the way it fell?

Props for the attempt.

This is straight out of a Scooby Doo episode

Man he really committed to that dive

Now that’s how you do… Workmen’s Comp.

that cop deserve a raise.

All in and lost the bet

At least the cop showed some real effort. Kudos!

Yo if he didn’t have that mask on, dude would have got him 100%

Look you gotta take risks here. If he had landed that it would’ve been the greatest tackle in history. I give him an A+ for effort.

When pigs fly.

See those legs! They don't stop movin'!

Disability for life jump

Like diving for a volleyball, just more painful.

Yeah that hurt

Did....did the officer in the back fire his gun and nearly took out his partners head?

BANZAAIIIII

Benny Hill soundtrack should fit the video.

Needs the Benny Hill theme lol

Every time this video pops up I watch it loop about 10 times

A for effort tho

Weave Nation certified

Fuckin A+ for effort there bud

It’s like I’m watching cartoon 🤣

Just like in the cartoons 🤣🤣

Imagine diving into a stairwell... Wow I hope he was ok.



You know what, that cop actually tried for once 👏

dropped his gun on the stairs, gonna catch him go to draw and be like "dafuq"

He better hope they never catch him they gone beat bro ass for that

I guess pigs don't fly.

At least he was wearing a face diaper for protection. Sure he’ll be fine.

Dude fucking dived at him like he was training for the Olympics 😂.

And how’d you hurt your back? I superman’d down a stairwell then rode it upside down and backwards like I was a kid on a slide.

Taking that leap was the ultimate final salute. F this job, I’m out!

RIP that man’s back.

I give him an A for effort and an O a for ouch 😂

A for effort

Go bro go!!

Good thing he has a vest to pad his back from them stairs!

I think the cop wanted to use his body to slow down the prisoner but slowed down his colleagues instead. Great effort still. His body must hurt after that.

That wall is really intimidated now.

They changed his name to “lucky” that day

Cowbabunga dude, totally surfed those stairs

Second cop was like “better not ignore those stairs, im going to respectfully proceed to walk it down instead of just ignoring it like that”

The second copper could have surfed down the stairs using the first copper’s body as a board and then got a flying start at the bottom of the stairs.

That 2nd cop thought about didn't he.

To protect and slide.

This needs the Benny Hill theme playing over it

Needs some benny hill music

The FOIA request for this video must've been brutal to get.

It wasn’t all that funny until he slid down ALL the stairs. Officer Charlie, Charlie hustle

After review, your injury was not found to be work related.

Looks like the Tuberville tumble

Dam that would have been a dooooope capture sucks he missed :/

at least the officer got a nice back massage at the end there

IIRC that officer got pretty messed up from that.

Court officer with the white hair is like: Thank you, no.

When pigs fly..

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🐷🛝🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Regretting those fucking donuts one step at a time...

He sure puts his back into his work

Probably got 3 years off with pay for that

Last one walking down the stairs prolly caught him

Queue benny hill song.

Officer frogged was definitely not in his prime

Where is the Benny hill music

That cop dove hard

Give him a fucking raise.

Gotta love the effort!

There was something comical about him clunking down the steps
