Look, we've gotten to the point where without backstory and evidence, police in the United States don't deserve the benefit of the doubt, so until I find out otherwise, I'm not even remotely disappointed that the guy defeated the police officer.
"You're coming with me young man!"
"BUT DAAAAAAD!"
Kid probably nicked 'is keys innit!
Now you see why they shoot in the back. Fat fucks can't keep up.
As the kids say, "absolute cinema".
At least he didn't get shot
Looks like the cyclist is white, so the cop might have faced consequences for murdering him.
Looks like the cop was trying to pepper spray him while he was fleeing.
More like taser, no?
Thanks for taking the time to share a direct watch video instead of linking to YouTube. Most shared content still points to YouTube (for valid reasons but still).
He escaped by jogging lightly! Great job, Officer Stumbly!
The cop runs like when I try to run in my dreams
You have just made me realise that I am an incompetent runner in my dreams. Like I'm trying to run through jelly. Not saying I'm a good runner by any means, but not as bad as I am in my dreams.
It's a common experience
I once told somebody about a recurring dream I have where I can’t control the speed of my car. Apparently your brain is fully aware that your legs aren’t responding to commands and it translates into your dreams.
In your case, not being able to run because your sleep cycle is deliberately paralysing your legs
I used to have dreams where driving was very difficult because the pedals would be positioned awkwardly close. It pretty much defied spatial geometry because it wasn't like there was space behind them for my legs, they were just really close with the wall right behind them but it was only hard to access and manipulate the pedals; I still somehow fit fine into that position.
I can't steer the car in my dreams because I can't lift my head up to see over the dash and I can't peel my eyes open more than slightly to see where I'm going
Well at least the cop didn’t shoot him.
Unfortunately when this cop retires, he'll likely be replaced by someone trigger happy
He literally used video game kiting strats to pull him away from the bike so he had enough time to sprint to it and mount it.
Hate to break it to you, but kiting was a thing before video games.
But yes that is also where I learned the concept.
So this post got me curious to the etymology of the term. And from what I've been able to discern, the term seems to in fact originate from gaming.
I mean, obviously the tactic pre-dates recorded history. But 'kiting', in regards to the term itself, doesn't seem to be a thing before video games.
Yeah i wasnt trying to say that word kiting was old, but for sure the action is old. Im there are predator animals that do it with poison or exhausting their prey before going in for the kill.
No, for sure. It was clear what you meant.
Apologies if my comment came across as "um ackshually". I just meant it in a "TIL/interestingly enough" sorta way.
It's funny because we seem to retroactively assign the term to ancient military tactics. I doubt they called it kiting. They'd probably call it ÖRGÛLŸK, and every Mongolian worth their salt would know how to perform flawless ÖRGÛLŸK.
ÖRGÛLŸK
and now they sell them to anyone at Ikea.
They’re delicious and cheap, I don’t care if they have horse meat in them.
YES!
Whether he was actually guilty is besides the point, you gotta respect the game.
I used to only assume defendants were innocent during jury duty. Now I assume the police are usually on the side of evil. They've never investigated any crimes I've reported and only ever given people I see a hard time. Less than worthless.
Bro kited that cop away from his bike like it was an MMO, absolutely marvelous talent.
See this is proof that police have to use lethal Force because they're so fucking lazy and worthless they can't even jog without almost dying

Yes
This is a good example of why all y'all should be working out! When the revolution happens, you need to be at least so fit.

Or at least be fitter than cops. Which as a 200lb guy who only eats KFC once a week, I already am. I shouldn't be.
He really wanted that bike back
