Found the only good cop. Too slow to catch you but still doesn't shoot.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hey...

How many good cops does it take to change a lightbulb?

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago

I'll let you know when a good cop changes anything!

[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Good on that police officer for not using deadly force.

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

wow, exactly how one would run away from a cop in a computer game; run so that he follows you then once far enough run back and get your bike

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

I thought he was going to get in the police car and drive off GTA style for a second

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

The bike guy seems to have watched Zombieland.

[–] obvs@lemmy.world 51 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] dismay3915@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Wtf is going on :))

[–] thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz 97 points 2 days ago (6 children)

The cop runs like when I try to run in my dreams

[–] melfie@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

My cat doesn’t seem to be able to catch anything in her dreams either from the way she moves and the noises she makes. Happens to the best of us, I guess.

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.

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 82 points 2 days ago (10 children)

Hate to break it to you, but kiting was a thing before video games.

But yes that is also where I learned the concept.

[–] TaterTot@piefed.social 70 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

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 Γ–RGΓ›LΕΈK, and every Mongolian worth their salt would know how to perform flawless Γ–RGΓ›LΕΈK.

Didn’t Larisa Γ–RGΓ›LΕΈK play Alex Mack?

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Γ–RGΓ›LΕΈK

and now they sell them to anyone at Ikea.

At least he didn't get shot

[–] Zacpod@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

Looks like the cyclist is white, so the cop might have faced consequences for murdering him.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Looks like the cop was trying to pepper spray him while he was fleeing.

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

[–] RaoulDuke25@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 days ago

Now you see why they shoot in the back. Fat fucks can't keep up.

In the country where I live, cops retire when they get old.

[–] boobookittyfrick@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago

He escaped by jogging lightly! Great job, Officer Stumbly!

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

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).

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 97 points 2 days ago

Bro kited that cop away from his bike like it was an MMO, absolutely marvelous talent.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 78 points 2 days ago (6 children)

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.

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 38 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

You dont ditch your bike.

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 38 points 2 days ago (2 children)

He would've been fucked if the cop had gotten on the bike to chase him instead

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 50 points 2 days ago

Because the cop would have had a heart attack and then he'd be charged with murder?

Unfortunately when this cop retires, he'll likely be replaced by someone trigger happy

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 71 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

yakety sax music intensifies

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 67 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Looked like GTA except the cops didn't immediately open fire.

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago

That’s cause he’s white

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

YES!

Whether he was actually guilty is besides the point, you gotta respect the game.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] darthsundhaft@piefed.social 13 points 2 days ago

As the kids say, "absolute cinema".

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

Well at least the cop didn’t shoot him.

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Cop is running like he just ran a marathon in waist high snow.

Didn't shoot him because he's white?
