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

Hey...
How many good cops does it take to change a lightbulb?
I'll let you know when a good cop changes anything!
Good on that police officer for not using deadly force.
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
I thought he was going to get in the police car and drive off GTA style for a second
The bike guy seems to have watched Zombieland.
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.
Wtf is going on :))
The cop runs like when I try to run in my dreams
My cat doesnβt 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.
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.
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 ΓRGΓLΕΈK, and every Mongolian worth their salt would know how to perform flawless ΓRGΓLΕΈK.
Didnβt Larisa ΓRGΓLΕΈK play Alex Mack?
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.
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

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.

He escaped by jogging lightly! Great job, Officer Stumbly!
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).
Bro kited that cop away from his bike like it was an MMO, absolutely marvelous talent.
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
You dont ditch your bike.
He would've been fucked if the cop had gotten on the bike to chase him instead
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
yakety sax music intensifies
Looked like GTA except the cops didn't immediately open fire.
Thatβs cause heβs white
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.
As the kids say, "absolute cinema".
Well at least the cop didnβt shoot him.
