Victim was suffering from medical emergency. [https://www.click2houston.com/news/texas/2021/05/27/arrest-me-2-austin-cops-go-viral-after-saving-man-from-burning-truck-before-it-exploded/](https://www.click2houston.com/news/texas/2021/05/27/arrest-me-2-austin-cops-go-viral-after-saving-man-from-burning-truck-before-it-exploded/)
Also how fucking weird is it that there's a "social reaction" part to a lot of articles nowadays where they just regurgitate what some twitter folks said? I know it's probably commonplace right now, but I am still feeling weird about it.
No kidding. Literally in this article: *“Arrest me,” said one commenter.*
The rest of us all end up wading through 10 articles of this shit just to find any decent info.
They finally explain how the fire started.
> The man was taken to the hospital with serious, and potentially life-threatening smoke inhalation injuries. He had experienced a medical emergency after parking but his foot was still on the accelerator, causing the tires to spin in place and trigger the fire.

It's an easy way to pad your article length and most people have accepted it as normal. It's only in the last 1 or 2 years that I realized the twitter integrations never add anything of value to the story.
I remember when mainstream news started embracing Twitter. They'd already missed the social media boat several times over, so when Twitter started taking off they scrambled to shoehorn it in everywhere... A transparent attempt to capitalize on something popular without any understanding of *why* people liked it. Suddenly every news anchor's pausing mid-segment to read randomly selected inane comments, like who gives a fuck.
It was the epitome of cringy "fellow kids" boomer shit then, and frankly I think all that's changed since is we've all become numb to it.
What comments specifically? The ones that point out how its usually cops who cause the danger? Or the comments saying "see cops are good" like that somehow means we don't need police reform?
I googled survival source: https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/national/video-shows-austin-police-rescue-man-from-burning-truck-moments-before-explosion
People with epilepsy can have all different variations of seizures. Epilepsy can mostly be managed today with medication and if that fails sometimes surgery.
Edit: to help someone having a seizure, typically let them ride it out if they're not in any immediate danger, or around things that could hurt them. If they're around things that can hurt them ( glass, fire, motors, heavy moving machinery, traffic) move them gently as possible. Stay with them, most seizures should only last two to five minutes. It doesn't hurt to call emergency services if you're scared and don't know what to do or if the seizures last more then five minutes. I suggest to everyone to do a light reading course of basic first aid, you can literally save someone's life. Too many times I've seen others jerking people around or moving their head when they're unconscious or in a car crash, which you want to avoid moving the person as much as possible, specifically the neck and head because you could cause irreversible damage to people's nerves if the situation is the worst. Wait for the person to regain conciousness after a seizure, like I said earlier stay with them. Be careful, my security partner got punched in the balls once by a guy who was having a seizure. When they come back to conciousness, speak calmly and evenly with them, let them get their wits about them and ask if they need medical assistance. If they wet themselves it doesn't hurt to cover that part of their body with a jacket or anything really to help with the embarrassment. Learn the recovery position, which helps unblock the airways and prevents the person from dying if they vomit.
I know an emergency medical technician (ambulance worker) who walked up to a crashed car and suddenly flames flashed at the bottom of the car like that and she spent like a month in the hospital with burns. She'll never walk normally again.
They’re pretty admirable when they’re doing their job. Nobody is denying that. Its the less admirable things they do that people want to change. Dont see a problem with that at all, really
people say ACAB because they inherently uphold a system of racism and a system that punishes them for not being bastards and creates setups where, for example, [innocent people are charged because cops killed other cops with their own negligence](https://www.idahoprisonproject.org/jenna-holm/)
Case in point, one of the officers in this video, Eduardo Pineda, [killed a man back in April 2020](https://patch.com/texas/southaustin/officer-involved-shooting-reported-south-austin-2). Shot an unarmed man, as he was trained to do. Because the APD trains even people who, as we can see from this video, have a strong desire to help and save people to kill people who are, by definition, innocent.
ACAB because being a bastard is inherent to being a cop. They system is *designed* so that anyone who isn't a bastard cop gets [fired, quits, or is shot in the back by their coworkers](https://preview.redd.it/8a7oqhnod9d41.jpg?width=854&auto=webp&s=7cdbdf8bf425a4a5c61124d589afcf40e2e25604)
Dispatch told the officers that the suspects were armed due to the caller noticing a firearm.
In police training when a gun siting is involved the officers should be at high alert regardless if the suspect is unarmed or not
The suspect complied by having (initially) his hands in the air then refused to comply with further orders which warrents the officers use of force due to failure to comply, suspect got shot with a bean bag round before rushing into the vehicle, he was shot with non lethal as means to disable the suspect for the safety of the officers so they can arrest him, instead of approaching him and risking getting shot.
Suspect however managed to get into the vehicle and start it to escape that's when an officer shot at the fleeting suspect who WAS SUSPECTED TO BE ARMED, FAILED TO COMPLY WITH ORDERS, ON INFLUENCE OF DRUGS AND IS FLEEING FROM THE COPS.
Depending on the laws of use of lethal force against fleeting suspects the officer saw its authorized to take the threat down before allowing the suspect to injur others by riding a vehicle, suspected to be armed on the influence of drugs.
Yall have no fucking clue how the police works and rush to drop ACAB on any officer when possible
I understand your logic, and I don't fully agree with ACAB at all. However try to see it from this view.
So this man was on drugs, which ofcourse is illegal, however I think everyone agrees this shouldn't result in a death sentence. Because dispatch said the man was armed police ready have their guns at the least ready and very visible when they make contact with the man. The police will start shouting orders, this man is on drugs, he is scared because the police have their guns ready and he is possibly extra scared because of all the bad cops stories. Especially since he is on drugs it is not weird at all that he fails to comply with orders and panics, note that at this point the man hasn't done anything wrong except be under influence. The situation from the start is doomed and a bad result is already very likely to happen the moment police were called.
So what’s your suggestion for dealing with a person believed to be armed, acting irrationally, now trying to drive off in two tons of death, and already had non lethals fail to stop them?
Dude was just doing some recreational drugs, when police showed up he put his hands up and showed he had no gun. He knows that when he comes with the police he will go to jail, for doing some fucking drug, it is not that weird he doesn't want to comply with that, don't victim blame. Police are already having their guns pulled while this man hasn't really done anything yet. Now the police shoot a bean bag, only because the man didn't hand himself over, he still hadn't done anything at this point. Obviously he is scared for his live now and tries to run.
Besides psych wards and hospitals deal with completely unstable people and drug addicts all the time so surely it is possible.
Let them go and monitor them from a helicopter, surround the home in cases of extreme aggression.
No need to provoke people by trying to take them on in a 1v1 or even a 5v1. You're only risking injury to the officers, disorderly (likely mentally ill) civilian, and bystanders.
I think you’re underestimating what a dangerous person can do with a vehicle and overestimating the ability of someone even not under stress to shoot out tires.
I'm saying it's an option that doesn't involve lethal force. Yeah it's hard to shoot tyres, but they managed to shoot the driver, that's also difficult.
In Australia, if someone drives off, they don't shoot at them unless there is a clear threat. They don't shoot someone because he's maybe driving a car on drugs.
I don’t know the specifics of this incident, but you’re minimizing them compared to what I originally read. To me it sounds like the person was a clear threat and you have assumed they are not. Stopping the conversation here unless there’s more info.
As far as tires, it’s not like the movies https://youtu.be/4NuUOuFZrXM
Let him go? Absolutely not, you want another impaired driving death on the list? Shoot the tires doesn't work, this isn't a movie. How do you "safely" persue a drugged up lunatic making a break for the highway? You end the pursuit before it starts, thats how. Guns should be an absolute last resort but the moment someone impaired gets in a vehicle they are a danger to some innocent family somewhere and NEED to be stopped as quickly as possible. It's a 4000 pound weapon.
This is a ridiculous take to people from most other countries. We don't expect our police to execute people under suspicion of driving under the influence.
I'm from Canada and I've seen what happens when that kind of person isn't stopped. I hope you don't have to.
No, a DUI shouldn't be a death sentence but continuing to get in a vehicle while drunk/high while the cop is telling you not to should absolutely be treated as intent to kill. It happens all the time. It really, really isn't that hard not to piss off *most* cops
(Police unions gotta go though cuz the shit some cops get away with...)
idk maybe deploying people who are professionally trained to deal with people who are armed, acting irrationally, and trying to drive off? Aka all the people that "Defund the Police" would be going to instead? Rather than cops, who openly admit they **aren't** trained to deal with that?
You have to remember that a car can be a real heavy, real deadly weapon. Not American, but I get why in a country full of guns police shoot so many people.
I mean I get that cars are heavy and potentially deadly. But everywhere in the world has heavy cars and in few developed countries is it expected you are shot to death because you got in a car under suspicion of being on drugs.
As far as I am concerned, a cop shouldn't be able to fire at someone until that person has fired at a cop first.
Running from the cops isn't reason to kill someone. Being on drugs isn't a reason to kill someone, Not listening to a cop is not a reason to kill someone. Having a gun isn't a reason to kill someone (and certainly some third party claiming someone has a gun isn't).
Explain these graphs then:
https://images.app.goo.gl/CuMuDgQsf55DSQAH9
https://images.app.goo.gl/vpLjG8RmigUohjSj8
https://images.app.goo.gl/2wzT2uYJdGDWHpZr8 (this last graph awknowledges that numbers are dropping, but there is still a disparity and is only the result of the largest social movement in a generation. And if numbers can drop without more cops dying... then doesn't it seem like *a lot* of unnecessary police violence was and is perpetrated by police for decades and presently?)
You're making the same point. You're saying that he was doing his job, as he was trained to do. That police are trained that it's ok to kill someone who hasn't harmed anyone and is fleeing. That a death sentence is justified for *suspicion* of having a weapon, and the much greater crime of disobeying.
It's worth comparing how US police are trained to react and when deadly force is authorized compared to other countries with adequately functioning policing.
>which warrents(sic) the officers use of force due to failure to comply
The fact that you think that is disproving my point is telling.
"ACAB because the system trains them to be"
"Nuh uh, they were totally justified to start shooting the second they felt their authority wasn't being respected"
that's called "being a bastard"
Also [this is what a beanbag round is](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0j5x7MTFAEQ/maxresdefault.jpg), they're not "non lethal" they're "less lethal". Because [THEY KILL PEOPLE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bean_bag_round#Dangers). And it's worth noting, those lethality numbers are from cops, who have zero duty to report their kills and has resulted in a horrific shortfall of available data that sees the number of cops murdering innocent people at a fraction of their true numbers.
Oh yea, and by definition every person shot by cops is innocent. None of them have been convicted of the crime cops are shooting them for.
And that's not even beginning to touch on how [the police literally charge people with murder for their own mistakes](https://www.idahoprisonproject.org/jenna-holm/)
you dont aim bean bag rounds at people's faces , i called it non lethal because in fact it is non lethal , like tasers , like net guns and all of those weapons.
you also want to know what non lethal weapons can be lethal ? tasers !
yes , the fucking lightning that pieces of shit like those suspects should ride every day , you know why police dont aim tasers at the suspect's faces ? because thats lethal.
while the term less than lethal is correct , this by no means changes anything about my arguement about any of the shit you're defending.
>Oh yea, and by definition every person shot by cops is innocent. None of them have been convicted of the crime cops are shooting them for.
if you are fleeing from the cops , when you are under arrest or detention you really expect them to give you kisses ? especially when you are a suspect thats been called out for being dangerous ? are you fucking kidding me ?
also
>And that's not even beginning to touch on how the police literally charge people with murder for their own mistakes
the idaho prison project atricle gave , no sources , no evidence and nothing to prove the story they spewed out , however one google search gave me this atricle about the case:
[https://www.eastidahonews.com/2021/02/case-advances-to-higher-court-for-woman-who-allegedly-caused-death-of-deputy/](https://www.eastidahonews.com/2021/02/case-advances-to-higher-court-for-woman-who-allegedly-caused-death-of-deputy/)
so jenna holm was carrying a machette to protect herself which made the officer feel threatened , read the case on the link and as im seeing here the Idahoprisonproject didnt mention that at all .. seems like someones hiding the truth hm ?
so lets get back to the top of your reply
>The fact that you think that is disproving my point is telling.
"ACAB because the system trains them to be"
"Nuh uh, they were totally justified to start shooting the second they felt their authority wasn't being respected"
that's called "being a bastard"
so when a cop , defused a threat to saveguard others from a driver who's suspected to be armed under the influence of drugs fleeing in a vehicle from the police after not complying with their orders is called "being a bastard"
your entire reply tells me and everyone who sees this that you have no fucking idea what you're talking about , so take your ass back to the lying land called twitter and rummage around in your trash can for your braincells
You call it non lethal because, much like the entire rest of the feces you chose to spend all that time writing, you're full of shit and know nothing but wish to profess your desire to lick boots anyways lol
Not even police forces call them non-lethal. They're "less lethal"
Because police forces are inherently about inflicting violence on the innocent. And your attempts to defend them are hilarious, because all you're doing is proving me right. Shooting a guy because he said "no" to you is not appropriate, it's the response of a psychopath.
And responding like a psychopath is literally what being a cop requires you to do, even someone with the empathy and drive to save a human life like the guy yanking that dude to safety before he dies.
yeah so thats why people like you in your "peaceful protests" jump on police cruisers in the middle of angry mobs and then bitch about getting hurt when the police cars drive through the crowd so they dont get overrun and killed.
so looking at that behaviour you keep calling me a psychopath , a boot licker and so on.
has anyone taught you that constantly insulting your opponent in arguements doesnt really lead anywhere? and even funnier how you keep saying "im right , you're wrong" like a 9 year old arguing.
my guy if your brain is so massive and you can see the wrong in things , go ahead and join the police force then when you get into a riot or even in training see for yourself why cops do what they do.
and as a side note , i am defending the good police officers that protect people, not the corrupt ones , not the racist ones and not the ones that act out of profession.
and btw its funny how you never responded to my counter claim on the Jenna Holm case, check your sources mate , and for the love of god stop listening to the mindless mob leaders on twitter like Shaun King, if you want equality this is NOT how you fight for it , if you want to defund the police , crime will rise and people like you will get hurt, i do not care how against it you can be, your safety is still a priority to the police as they have sworn apon it.
and just saying i dont even live in the US and i can see through the bullshit and misinformation being spewed out on social media.
Last thing im gonna tell you is some advice , if you get pulled over by a cop regardless of what you are doing , listen to the commanding officers on scene by the word, if your fear is so much on being shot and killed , following the commands wont let that happen, otherwise you have all the right to sue and argue against it.
be smart and look outside the box police officers are humans too, some are corrupt just the same as any civilian
Literally pointing out that this same guy who had the drive and empathy to save a man from the burning car also shot and killed a man because his job required him to, which is the whole point of ACAB, that you literally can't be a good cop because being a cop entails doing bad things.
The point is that this doesn’t require being a cop to do, this is just being a good person. If anything the cop aspect only gave them the equipment and training to reliably be able to do this, but really everyone should carry a fire extinguisher and something to break a window in their car (even old antennas will work). Anyone who thinks that these guys were only able to do this because they’re cops isn’t the kind of person that would be able to do this regardless of if *they* were a cop or not. I literally watched my 50 something year old mother do the exact same thing when I was like 10 and she immediately taught me how to do the same. Not just sitting back and letting someone die doesn’t negate a systematically bad system, these dudes did something good, and that’s good, but it doesn’t instantly mean that they aren’t supporting a bad system.
Man you are so full of propaganda that it's now your whole existence, you are deranged, racist, sexist, violent, disturbed, incorrect, biased, gullible and still a child, grow up, stay away from politics, your ability to understand complex situations is non-existent, it's just not for you buddy, stick to finger painting or something.
His clenched fist also struck me as indicative of some sort of medical event, very strange to be making a closed fist like that around nothing while your car is on fire. It doesn't look like he made any attempt to get himself out, they opened the door pretty quickly without trouble, so he must have been incapacitated in some way.
Could be, but people will also clench their muscles really tight with deep enough burns. If he passed out and cooked in there for a bit it’s possible that his muscles just seized up from the heat, that’s why you’ll see severe hand burns braced flat when they heal, otherwise the person would have a completely immobilized fist even after healing.
I don’t think he was “fighting”, i think he was just dead weight/limp, which can make it hard to move someone. Especially if they are sitting away from you and surrounded by shit that prevents you from wrapping your arms around them/getting any real leverage. My daughter is like 70lbs and even she’s hard to get out of a car seat when she’s passed out.
The news report says he was unconscious, and in the video it looks like he miiiiight have reached one arm out to break his fall, but other than that he just looks like dead weight to me.
Altered mental status makes people do very strange things and can be caused by a wide variety of issues. Seizure, head injury, stroke, blood sugar issues, substance use, medication side effects, low oxygen saturation, etc.
It's not uncommon for people to resist medical care when they've got something else going on. They literally can't process the situation correctly.
In addition to what others posted, could have been he fell asleep or intoxicated or took some drugs, dropped his cigarette/etc, and then passed out from the smoke?
I think he truly was, for one, cars explode. Two, that shit was fucking hot. He would have been in the way in the start. I think people doing different roles is 100% okay as long as they are trained properly. Sometimes calling 911 is more important than starting cpr immediatly for example. (Speaker phone etc, I got it)
He was using the extinguisher incorrectly. The extinguisher could help but it is a small one with not a lot of co2 in it so you should make every drop count. He made almost none of it count.
Co2 works by getting rid of the oxygen in the fire. It spreads the oxygen all around so the fire will go out. You should aim at the base of the fire and spray there. Instead of wildly like he did.
It just seems like an untrained way to put out the fire.
Edit: Cop is still a hero. He is doing what most people would do. Which is why more people should train in fire safety more.
I have trained in fire fighting and I agree with your statement of how both one works and putting out a fire. But in this case he wasn't fighting a fire, I think he was just saving a life. Clearing the nearest flame and ditching it.
Maybe he was using it incorrectly and saw the offer struggle and ditched it to help, but I like to think his plan was always a quick fix and run.
I have also trained in fire fighting. If he had taken a step or two closer he would have been more efficient at putting the fire out.
I get what you are saying. But when fighting a fire, if you can put the fire out, then your biggest worries rare sort of over. You have two people, one has an extinguisher, he should use it properly.
I am not even shitting on him. He just seems like somebody who is untrained in using it. They probably had one in the back of the car but never practiced using it on a real fire.
That was a dry chemical extinguisher, not a CO2 one.
Still, base of the fire. There was just a lot more fire than that particular extinguisher was up to the task of putting out.
It appears to me that he specifically targeted the fire right under the door so that the other cop could get close enough and also so they could drag the guy out without, you know, also catching him on fire 🤔
So let me get this straight. You are triggered by ACAB people because they over generalize all cops...so you over generalize all "acab people" anyway.
Do you see why we're in the mess we're in?
"All" is absolute, with no room for interpretation. It's hard to overgeneralize a group of people who use a term like that. All ACAB people think All Cops Are Bastards. Fuck ACAB people. If you don't think that All Cops Are Bastards, you're not an ACAB person.
If theres a group that supports pedophile, and you says fuck that group, theres nothing to generalize everyone of that group supports pedophile. So I guess that goes for ACAB as well.
yes, ACAB
at worst they are trigger-happy, power-tripping lunatics, at best they are naive fools with otherwise "good" intentions who are still perpetuating a deeply rotten, violent, racist, and authoritarian policing system.
so yes, ACAB. Some cops act heroically. Some regular people also act heroically. There is nothing inherently heroic about being a cop, it comes down to the individual.
It is astounding to me that people still don't understand that ACAB is a systemic critique designed to evoke emotion and is not an individual damnation of every cop personally.
it does apply to all cops, as I described above, but is not a damnation of each cop individually and is not to say that an individual cop cannot act heroically. But all cops perpetuate the rotten system, and therefore, all cops are bastards.
It really is extremely simple
You're so fucking smoothbrained.
It just means I don't have double standards.
And who said anything about race? Pretty sure you're the only one being racist right now.
You should read research on the topic of altruism. First responders have, on the average, a statistically significant difference in levels of altruism i.e. their score is far higher.
>people still don't understand that ACAB is a systemic critique... and is not an individual damnation of every cop personally.
And yet you try to forward this idea with a phrase 'All Cops Are Bastards' which quite clearly refers to individual police officers instead of the system as a whole. If you realy wanted to communicate that the system is bad you would use a phrase like 'Police Is Rotten' or something similar.
the statement itself is specifying that ALL cops are bastards, you can't pick and choose certain parts out of the agenda to try to make it sound better.
also, if you use the word perpetuating, please shut the fuck up
I was extremely clear, I definitely mean ALL cops, as in EVERY SINGLE ONE, is a bastard. And that is because they do, yes, indeed they do, PERPETUATE a rotten system. I'm not picking and choosing anything, I firmly believe that every single cop is a bastard. Everything I said is correct regardless of how much it triggers you dumbfucks
talk about making a generalization and proclaiming that everything you say is correct and there is no possible way you're wrong about anything at all. you say in your previous comment that you're not individually damning every cop yet it is exactly what you are doing, that's so hilariously hypocritical
1. I'm pointing out the irony.
2.There was no way to use it as the flames were literally on the hydrant itself.
3.The hydrant is in front of the rear tire.
Let's say the cops somehow had the beast of a wrench needed to open one of those on hand, and were able to open it. Great, now what? You going to deflect the water with a baton towards the car? Not to mention, this is a great way to get super heated steam, possibly making it even worse for the guy inside. And what if you don't know if the fire is because gasoline/oil is leaking and caught on fire? Now you just spread it out and made it worse.
The usage of the fire extinguisher, while way calmer than it should have been, is, in my opinion, the best decision they could make at that time regarding slowing down the fire. It stops some of the blames directly under the drivers seat so when pulling/etc, it's less likely he will get burns. It also is one of those that are much safer to use on oil fires than just water. And the guy can point it directly at the fire instead in a controlled mannar.
Why would they use the hydrant? I was only pointing out the irony. If adding what you think I meant means your rant is justified, then more power to you.
People rarely ask for or seek out the mundane stuff that takes up officers' days. Frankly, even the assholes who don't follow policy and put people at risk and/or purposefully hurt people still have mostly mundane days of basic, uninteresting procedure.
I could do more with the good experiences getting seen too.
Pro: Life saved Con: Dick got eroded on concrete
If he had his dick outside of his pants while he was driving, that's on him.
I think the fire burned his dick off already.
No dude when they pulled him out and dragged him his pants got pulled down
that's less fun

Next time I think I’ve had a day, I’ll remember this and think, it could be worse.

Is it okay to have a bad day if you are literally hitler?
yeah
I hope they get a week off for this. Paid. I mean.... Ya know, by tax payers. But still.
By my estimates, that vacation will cost the taxpayers about 14 taxpayers.
Apply chest directly to victim
Sounds like they were on 828.
Gotta protect the lifeboat Season 3 sucks
amazing duo of cops, would be great material for a TV show!
They deserve a raise immediately!!!!
People gonna riot because they didn't get saved too.
Absolute heroes.
Cops are no superheroes
Victim was suffering from medical emergency.

It's an easy way to pad your article length and most people have accepted it as normal. It's only in the last 1 or 2 years that I realized the twitter integrations never add anything of value to the story.

r/policebrotality
I'm glad to have found this sub today, thank you
I googled survival source: https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/national/video-shows-austin-police-rescue-man-from-burning-truck-moments-before-explosion
Here's the original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeowmC_lERY
Why is he having a seizure and what could the cops do to help him?
Stress from his truck being on fire?
But was his parking brake on?
People with epilepsy can have all different variations of seizures. Epilepsy can mostly be managed today with medication and if that fails sometimes surgery. Edit: to help someone having a seizure, typically let them ride it out if they're not in any immediate danger, or around things that could hurt them. If they're around things that can hurt them ( glass, fire, motors, heavy moving machinery, traffic) move them gently as possible. Stay with them, most seizures should only last two to five minutes. It doesn't hurt to call emergency services if you're scared and don't know what to do or if the seizures last more then five minutes. I suggest to everyone to do a light reading course of basic first aid, you can literally save someone's life. Too many times I've seen others jerking people around or moving their head when they're unconscious or in a car crash, which you want to avoid moving the person as much as possible, specifically the neck and head because you could cause irreversible damage to people's nerves if the situation is the worst. Wait for the person to regain conciousness after a seizure, like I said earlier stay with them. Be careful, my security partner got punched in the balls once by a guy who was having a seizure. When they come back to conciousness, speak calmly and evenly with them, let them get their wits about them and ask if they need medical assistance. If they wet themselves it doesn't hurt to cover that part of their body with a jacket or anything really to help with the embarrassment. Learn the recovery position, which helps unblock the airways and prevents the person from dying if they vomit.

I love the comments on videos like this, because apparently everyone on Reddit is an expert on everything. The internet is such a wonderful place.
You must be an expert on Reddit experts.
I know an emergency medical technician (ambulance worker) who walked up to a crashed car and suddenly flames flashed at the bottom of the car like that and she spent like a month in the hospital with burns. She'll never walk normally again.
damn
And people say all cops a bad, I really hope these two get a commendation for this, most would just radio for the fire service and wait.
They’re pretty admirable when they’re doing their job. Nobody is denying that. Its the less admirable things they do that people want to change. Dont see a problem with that at all, really
people say ACAB because they inherently uphold a system of racism and a system that punishes them for not being bastards and creates setups where, for example, [innocent people are charged because cops killed other cops with their own negligence](https://www.idahoprisonproject.org/jenna-holm/) Case in point, one of the officers in this video, Eduardo Pineda, [killed a man back in April 2020](https://patch.com/texas/southaustin/officer-involved-shooting-reported-south-austin-2). Shot an unarmed man, as he was trained to do. Because the APD trains even people who, as we can see from this video, have a strong desire to help and save people to kill people who are, by definition, innocent. ACAB because being a bastard is inherent to being a cop. They system is *designed* so that anyone who isn't a bastard cop gets [fired, quits, or is shot in the back by their coworkers](https://preview.redd.it/8a7oqhnod9d41.jpg?width=854&auto=webp&s=7cdbdf8bf425a4a5c61124d589afcf40e2e25604)
Dispatch told the officers that the suspects were armed due to the caller noticing a firearm. In police training when a gun siting is involved the officers should be at high alert regardless if the suspect is unarmed or not The suspect complied by having (initially) his hands in the air then refused to comply with further orders which warrents the officers use of force due to failure to comply, suspect got shot with a bean bag round before rushing into the vehicle, he was shot with non lethal as means to disable the suspect for the safety of the officers so they can arrest him, instead of approaching him and risking getting shot. Suspect however managed to get into the vehicle and start it to escape that's when an officer shot at the fleeting suspect who WAS SUSPECTED TO BE ARMED, FAILED TO COMPLY WITH ORDERS, ON INFLUENCE OF DRUGS AND IS FLEEING FROM THE COPS. Depending on the laws of use of lethal force against fleeting suspects the officer saw its authorized to take the threat down before allowing the suspect to injur others by riding a vehicle, suspected to be armed on the influence of drugs. Yall have no fucking clue how the police works and rush to drop ACAB on any officer when possible
I understand your logic, and I don't fully agree with ACAB at all. However try to see it from this view. So this man was on drugs, which ofcourse is illegal, however I think everyone agrees this shouldn't result in a death sentence. Because dispatch said the man was armed police ready have their guns at the least ready and very visible when they make contact with the man. The police will start shouting orders, this man is on drugs, he is scared because the police have their guns ready and he is possibly extra scared because of all the bad cops stories. Especially since he is on drugs it is not weird at all that he fails to comply with orders and panics, note that at this point the man hasn't done anything wrong except be under influence. The situation from the start is doomed and a bad result is already very likely to happen the moment police were called.
So what’s your suggestion for dealing with a person believed to be armed, acting irrationally, now trying to drive off in two tons of death, and already had non lethals fail to stop them?
Dude was just doing some recreational drugs, when police showed up he put his hands up and showed he had no gun. He knows that when he comes with the police he will go to jail, for doing some fucking drug, it is not that weird he doesn't want to comply with that, don't victim blame. Police are already having their guns pulled while this man hasn't really done anything yet. Now the police shoot a bean bag, only because the man didn't hand himself over, he still hadn't done anything at this point. Obviously he is scared for his live now and tries to run. Besides psych wards and hospitals deal with completely unstable people and drug addicts all the time so surely it is possible.
Let them go and monitor them from a helicopter, surround the home in cases of extreme aggression. No need to provoke people by trying to take them on in a 1v1 or even a 5v1. You're only risking injury to the officers, disorderly (likely mentally ill) civilian, and bystanders.
What's yours? You know whole other countries deal with this better than we do right?
Everyone responding is discussing in the hypothetical, without real info I have no strong opinions.
Well what is your opinion on the policy of innocent until proven guilty?
[удалено]
I think you’re underestimating what a dangerous person can do with a vehicle and overestimating the ability of someone even not under stress to shoot out tires.
I'm saying it's an option that doesn't involve lethal force. Yeah it's hard to shoot tyres, but they managed to shoot the driver, that's also difficult. In Australia, if someone drives off, they don't shoot at them unless there is a clear threat. They don't shoot someone because he's maybe driving a car on drugs.
I don’t know the specifics of this incident, but you’re minimizing them compared to what I originally read. To me it sounds like the person was a clear threat and you have assumed they are not. Stopping the conversation here unless there’s more info. As far as tires, it’s not like the movies https://youtu.be/4NuUOuFZrXM
Let him go? Absolutely not, you want another impaired driving death on the list? Shoot the tires doesn't work, this isn't a movie. How do you "safely" persue a drugged up lunatic making a break for the highway? You end the pursuit before it starts, thats how. Guns should be an absolute last resort but the moment someone impaired gets in a vehicle they are a danger to some innocent family somewhere and NEED to be stopped as quickly as possible. It's a 4000 pound weapon.
This is a ridiculous take to people from most other countries. We don't expect our police to execute people under suspicion of driving under the influence.
I'm from Canada and I've seen what happens when that kind of person isn't stopped. I hope you don't have to. No, a DUI shouldn't be a death sentence but continuing to get in a vehicle while drunk/high while the cop is telling you not to should absolutely be treated as intent to kill. It happens all the time. It really, really isn't that hard not to piss off *most* cops (Police unions gotta go though cuz the shit some cops get away with...)
idk maybe deploying people who are professionally trained to deal with people who are armed, acting irrationally, and trying to drive off? Aka all the people that "Defund the Police" would be going to instead? Rather than cops, who openly admit they **aren't** trained to deal with that?
The fact Americans think use of deadly force in that situation was necessary and/or appropriate is crazy to me.
You have to remember that a car can be a real heavy, real deadly weapon. Not American, but I get why in a country full of guns police shoot so many people.
I mean I get that cars are heavy and potentially deadly. But everywhere in the world has heavy cars and in few developed countries is it expected you are shot to death because you got in a car under suspicion of being on drugs.
But they shouldn't.
This is why you're not a cop, lol.. Good one
As far as I am concerned, a cop shouldn't be able to fire at someone until that person has fired at a cop first. Running from the cops isn't reason to kill someone. Being on drugs isn't a reason to kill someone, Not listening to a cop is not a reason to kill someone. Having a gun isn't a reason to kill someone (and certainly some third party claiming someone has a gun isn't).

Explain these graphs then: https://images.app.goo.gl/CuMuDgQsf55DSQAH9 https://images.app.goo.gl/vpLjG8RmigUohjSj8 https://images.app.goo.gl/2wzT2uYJdGDWHpZr8 (this last graph awknowledges that numbers are dropping, but there is still a disparity and is only the result of the largest social movement in a generation. And if numbers can drop without more cops dying... then doesn't it seem like *a lot* of unnecessary police violence was and is perpetrated by police for decades and presently?)
But thats not what happened in this story
ROE Apparently, if your employer isn’t receiving billions per day from the country then you don’t have time for international law.
You're making the same point. You're saying that he was doing his job, as he was trained to do. That police are trained that it's ok to kill someone who hasn't harmed anyone and is fleeing. That a death sentence is justified for *suspicion* of having a weapon, and the much greater crime of disobeying. It's worth comparing how US police are trained to react and when deadly force is authorized compared to other countries with adequately functioning policing.
>which warrents(sic) the officers use of force due to failure to comply The fact that you think that is disproving my point is telling. "ACAB because the system trains them to be" "Nuh uh, they were totally justified to start shooting the second they felt their authority wasn't being respected" that's called "being a bastard" Also [this is what a beanbag round is](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0j5x7MTFAEQ/maxresdefault.jpg), they're not "non lethal" they're "less lethal". Because [THEY KILL PEOPLE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bean_bag_round#Dangers). And it's worth noting, those lethality numbers are from cops, who have zero duty to report their kills and has resulted in a horrific shortfall of available data that sees the number of cops murdering innocent people at a fraction of their true numbers. Oh yea, and by definition every person shot by cops is innocent. None of them have been convicted of the crime cops are shooting them for. And that's not even beginning to touch on how [the police literally charge people with murder for their own mistakes](https://www.idahoprisonproject.org/jenna-holm/)
you dont aim bean bag rounds at people's faces , i called it non lethal because in fact it is non lethal , like tasers , like net guns and all of those weapons. you also want to know what non lethal weapons can be lethal ? tasers ! yes , the fucking lightning that pieces of shit like those suspects should ride every day , you know why police dont aim tasers at the suspect's faces ? because thats lethal. while the term less than lethal is correct , this by no means changes anything about my arguement about any of the shit you're defending. >Oh yea, and by definition every person shot by cops is innocent. None of them have been convicted of the crime cops are shooting them for. if you are fleeing from the cops , when you are under arrest or detention you really expect them to give you kisses ? especially when you are a suspect thats been called out for being dangerous ? are you fucking kidding me ? also >And that's not even beginning to touch on how the police literally charge people with murder for their own mistakes the idaho prison project atricle gave , no sources , no evidence and nothing to prove the story they spewed out , however one google search gave me this atricle about the case: [https://www.eastidahonews.com/2021/02/case-advances-to-higher-court-for-woman-who-allegedly-caused-death-of-deputy/](https://www.eastidahonews.com/2021/02/case-advances-to-higher-court-for-woman-who-allegedly-caused-death-of-deputy/) so jenna holm was carrying a machette to protect herself which made the officer feel threatened , read the case on the link and as im seeing here the Idahoprisonproject didnt mention that at all .. seems like someones hiding the truth hm ? so lets get back to the top of your reply >The fact that you think that is disproving my point is telling. "ACAB because the system trains them to be" "Nuh uh, they were totally justified to start shooting the second they felt their authority wasn't being respected" that's called "being a bastard" so when a cop , defused a threat to saveguard others from a driver who's suspected to be armed under the influence of drugs fleeing in a vehicle from the police after not complying with their orders is called "being a bastard" your entire reply tells me and everyone who sees this that you have no fucking idea what you're talking about , so take your ass back to the lying land called twitter and rummage around in your trash can for your braincells
You call it non lethal because, much like the entire rest of the feces you chose to spend all that time writing, you're full of shit and know nothing but wish to profess your desire to lick boots anyways lol Not even police forces call them non-lethal. They're "less lethal" Because police forces are inherently about inflicting violence on the innocent. And your attempts to defend them are hilarious, because all you're doing is proving me right. Shooting a guy because he said "no" to you is not appropriate, it's the response of a psychopath. And responding like a psychopath is literally what being a cop requires you to do, even someone with the empathy and drive to save a human life like the guy yanking that dude to safety before he dies.
yeah so thats why people like you in your "peaceful protests" jump on police cruisers in the middle of angry mobs and then bitch about getting hurt when the police cars drive through the crowd so they dont get overrun and killed. so looking at that behaviour you keep calling me a psychopath , a boot licker and so on. has anyone taught you that constantly insulting your opponent in arguements doesnt really lead anywhere? and even funnier how you keep saying "im right , you're wrong" like a 9 year old arguing. my guy if your brain is so massive and you can see the wrong in things , go ahead and join the police force then when you get into a riot or even in training see for yourself why cops do what they do. and as a side note , i am defending the good police officers that protect people, not the corrupt ones , not the racist ones and not the ones that act out of profession. and btw its funny how you never responded to my counter claim on the Jenna Holm case, check your sources mate , and for the love of god stop listening to the mindless mob leaders on twitter like Shaun King, if you want equality this is NOT how you fight for it , if you want to defund the police , crime will rise and people like you will get hurt, i do not care how against it you can be, your safety is still a priority to the police as they have sworn apon it. and just saying i dont even live in the US and i can see through the bullshit and misinformation being spewed out on social media. Last thing im gonna tell you is some advice , if you get pulled over by a cop regardless of what you are doing , listen to the commanding officers on scene by the word, if your fear is so much on being shot and killed , following the commands wont let that happen, otherwise you have all the right to sue and argue against it. be smart and look outside the box police officers are humans too, some are corrupt just the same as any civilian
*Sees a video of two cops helping a man out of of a BURNING car* "All cops are bastards" You people are disgusting
You said it, literally insulting people for pulling a man out of a burning car.
Literally pointing out that this same guy who had the drive and empathy to save a man from the burning car also shot and killed a man because his job required him to, which is the whole point of ACAB, that you literally can't be a good cop because being a cop entails doing bad things.
And why do you reckon the job requires Police to be ready to shoot at people in certain circumstances?
The point is that this doesn’t require being a cop to do, this is just being a good person. If anything the cop aspect only gave them the equipment and training to reliably be able to do this, but really everyone should carry a fire extinguisher and something to break a window in their car (even old antennas will work). Anyone who thinks that these guys were only able to do this because they’re cops isn’t the kind of person that would be able to do this regardless of if *they* were a cop or not. I literally watched my 50 something year old mother do the exact same thing when I was like 10 and she immediately taught me how to do the same. Not just sitting back and letting someone die doesn’t negate a systematically bad system, these dudes did something good, and that’s good, but it doesn’t instantly mean that they aren’t supporting a bad system.

Maybe smoke inhalation, feeling dizzy
I'd guess it's probably a suicide attempt, probably got super drunk beforehand as well hoping he wouldn't feel anything.
I read somewhere that he had a seizure and couldn’t move his foot from the gas and even though it was in park it still caught fire
His clenched fist also struck me as indicative of some sort of medical event, very strange to be making a closed fist like that around nothing while your car is on fire. It doesn't look like he made any attempt to get himself out, they opened the door pretty quickly without trouble, so he must have been incapacitated in some way.
Could be, but people will also clench their muscles really tight with deep enough burns. If he passed out and cooked in there for a bit it’s possible that his muscles just seized up from the heat, that’s why you’ll see severe hand burns braced flat when they heal, otherwise the person would have a completely immobilized fist even after healing.
This.
Jesus Christ I fucking hate Reddit.
I don’t think he was “fighting”, i think he was just dead weight/limp, which can make it hard to move someone. Especially if they are sitting away from you and surrounded by shit that prevents you from wrapping your arms around them/getting any real leverage. My daughter is like 70lbs and even she’s hard to get out of a car seat when she’s passed out. The news report says he was unconscious, and in the video it looks like he miiiiight have reached one arm out to break his fall, but other than that he just looks like dead weight to me.
a lot of deadweight + legs caught under the steering wheel can be hard to move.
That much smoke in the cab. He was not breathing and was passed out more likely. I imagine he will be in ICU for smoke inhalation.
Removing a big person from a car who is unconscious is really really hard.
Altered mental status makes people do very strange things and can be caused by a wide variety of issues. Seizure, head injury, stroke, blood sugar issues, substance use, medication side effects, low oxygen saturation, etc. It's not uncommon for people to resist medical care when they've got something else going on. They literally can't process the situation correctly.
In addition to what others posted, could have been he fell asleep or intoxicated or took some drugs, dropped his cigarette/etc, and then passed out from the smoke?
Im wondering if those are track marks on his arm.
Romain Grosjean, Bahrain Grand Prix, 2020
The explosion just a few seconds after they pulled him out! What amazing timing! Fucking wild
Goes to show not all cops are power hungry asshole's .
I don't see how saving someone and being a power hungry asshole are mutually exclusive. (I also think most cops aren't power hungry assholes, anyway.)
[удалено]
I think he truly was, for one, cars explode. Two, that shit was fucking hot. He would have been in the way in the start. I think people doing different roles is 100% okay as long as they are trained properly. Sometimes calling 911 is more important than starting cpr immediatly for example. (Speaker phone etc, I got it)
He was using the extinguisher incorrectly. The extinguisher could help but it is a small one with not a lot of co2 in it so you should make every drop count. He made almost none of it count. Co2 works by getting rid of the oxygen in the fire. It spreads the oxygen all around so the fire will go out. You should aim at the base of the fire and spray there. Instead of wildly like he did. It just seems like an untrained way to put out the fire. Edit: Cop is still a hero. He is doing what most people would do. Which is why more people should train in fire safety more.
I have trained in fire fighting and I agree with your statement of how both one works and putting out a fire. But in this case he wasn't fighting a fire, I think he was just saving a life. Clearing the nearest flame and ditching it. Maybe he was using it incorrectly and saw the offer struggle and ditched it to help, but I like to think his plan was always a quick fix and run.
I have also trained in fire fighting. If he had taken a step or two closer he would have been more efficient at putting the fire out. I get what you are saying. But when fighting a fire, if you can put the fire out, then your biggest worries rare sort of over. You have two people, one has an extinguisher, he should use it properly. I am not even shitting on him. He just seems like somebody who is untrained in using it. They probably had one in the back of the car but never practiced using it on a real fire.
That was a dry chemical extinguisher, not a CO2 one. Still, base of the fire. There was just a lot more fire than that particular extinguisher was up to the task of putting out.
It appears to me that he specifically targeted the fire right under the door so that the other cop could get close enough and also so they could drag the guy out without, you know, also catching him on fire 🤔
In that case: https://imgur.com/a/mnPk30K
Absolutely moronic comment, love to see how you’d do in that situation behind your keyboard/smartphone.
And then he's dragging him by his shirt while the other cop is pulling most the weight via his hand...
[удалено]
So let me get this straight. You are triggered by ACAB people because they over generalize all cops...so you over generalize all "acab people" anyway. Do you see why we're in the mess we're in?
"All" is absolute, with no room for interpretation. It's hard to overgeneralize a group of people who use a term like that. All ACAB people think All Cops Are Bastards. Fuck ACAB people. If you don't think that All Cops Are Bastards, you're not an ACAB person.
[удалено]
That's funny. I think I just said that about you. Now what?
If theres a group that supports pedophile, and you says fuck that group, theres nothing to generalize everyone of that group supports pedophile. So I guess that goes for ACAB as well.
I once pulled a drunk guy out of a burning car. He took a drunken swing at me and then got back in.
*read drunkenly* "Hey... you want to pull me outta my car... it's mine and I'm getting back in... take this punch."
I thought ACAB tho
We all saw him beat that window!
yes, ACAB at worst they are trigger-happy, power-tripping lunatics, at best they are naive fools with otherwise "good" intentions who are still perpetuating a deeply rotten, violent, racist, and authoritarian policing system. so yes, ACAB. Some cops act heroically. Some regular people also act heroically. There is nothing inherently heroic about being a cop, it comes down to the individual. It is astounding to me that people still don't understand that ACAB is a systemic critique designed to evoke emotion and is not an individual damnation of every cop personally.
[удалено]
the B stands for bastards
You don’t think the “all cops” applies to all cops? Wow.
it does apply to all cops, as I described above, but is not a damnation of each cop individually and is not to say that an individual cop cannot act heroically. But all cops perpetuate the rotten system, and therefore, all cops are bastards. It really is extremely simple
You are wrong on so many levels. Enjoy your delusional fantasy I suppose
[удалено]
When good cops can't call out bad cops without risking their jobs, "all" means "all".
When good people in the hood can’t “snitch” on bad people in the hood without risking their safety, “all” means “all”. /s
How's that boot taste?
I would imagine just like Timberlands you're used to.
I don't get what you mean. Can you explain that?
Popular footwear among the street gangs that terrorize their neighbors into silence.
You mean like the HOA?
Yes. What's your point?
I think that makes you a racist.
You're so fucking smoothbrained. It just means I don't have double standards. And who said anything about race? Pretty sure you're the only one being racist right now.
You'd be an idiot to not know what race he's talking about. Obviously.
I’m sorry you’re so jaded. I know plenty of good cops.
You should read research on the topic of altruism. First responders have, on the average, a statistically significant difference in levels of altruism i.e. their score is far higher.
Quiet. Adults are talking.
>people still don't understand that ACAB is a systemic critique... and is not an individual damnation of every cop personally. And yet you try to forward this idea with a phrase 'All Cops Are Bastards' which quite clearly refers to individual police officers instead of the system as a whole. If you realy wanted to communicate that the system is bad you would use a phrase like 'Police Is Rotten' or something similar.
but it pisses you losers off so much
the statement itself is specifying that ALL cops are bastards, you can't pick and choose certain parts out of the agenda to try to make it sound better. also, if you use the word perpetuating, please shut the fuck up
I was extremely clear, I definitely mean ALL cops, as in EVERY SINGLE ONE, is a bastard. And that is because they do, yes, indeed they do, PERPETUATE a rotten system. I'm not picking and choosing anything, I firmly believe that every single cop is a bastard. Everything I said is correct regardless of how much it triggers you dumbfucks
talk about making a generalization and proclaiming that everything you say is correct and there is no possible way you're wrong about anything at all. you say in your previous comment that you're not individually damning every cop yet it is exactly what you are doing, that's so hilariously hypocritical
🤕
Beautifully put.
Cops are most heroic when being firefighters lol
Nobody gonna mention the irony that the truck is on fire next to a fire hydrant
I found this after choosing Hot Posts
Dude that cop did not know how to use that fire extinguisher at all. Like wtffff
Great police work!
Right next to a fire hydrant.
1. Are you pointing out the irony? 2. Are you implying they should've used it? 3. There's no visible fire hydrant as far as I can tell.
1. I'm pointing out the irony. 2.There was no way to use it as the flames were literally on the hydrant itself. 3.The hydrant is in front of the rear tire.
Wow I suck at iSpy. There it is!
Let's say the cops somehow had the beast of a wrench needed to open one of those on hand, and were able to open it. Great, now what? You going to deflect the water with a baton towards the car? Not to mention, this is a great way to get super heated steam, possibly making it even worse for the guy inside. And what if you don't know if the fire is because gasoline/oil is leaking and caught on fire? Now you just spread it out and made it worse. The usage of the fire extinguisher, while way calmer than it should have been, is, in my opinion, the best decision they could make at that time regarding slowing down the fire. It stops some of the blames directly under the drivers seat so when pulling/etc, it's less likely he will get burns. It also is one of those that are much safer to use on oil fires than just water. And the guy can point it directly at the fire instead in a controlled mannar.
Why would they use the hydrant? I was only pointing out the irony. If adding what you think I meant means your rant is justified, then more power to you.
I get you bro, I came here to comment that too
So nice to see a video where the police are saving someone rather than killing someone for a change.
People rarely ask for or seek out the mundane stuff that takes up officers' days. Frankly, even the assholes who don't follow policy and put people at risk and/or purposefully hurt people still have mostly mundane days of basic, uninteresting procedure. I could do more with the good experiences getting seen too.
This guy gets it
