1. Did he spill his beer, though?

2. this is what they get paid to do?

4. Well. They are on a work stoppage/slowdown. Gotta have something to do.

Good thing it's on video.

Other wise they would blame some black guy and:

BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS AL SHARPTON!!!!!!!

[notadmblnd]

7. no doubt.

20. well clearly they are on strike

which is illegal. how is this gonna win public support if they are being paid just to stand there and not do anything? Sounds like the same people who gave Bush his PR are giving the Cops the same. and like Bush they believe it. Nothing like outright proving we are in a police state when they hold a city hostage . Rachel had it all laid out last night. Clearly they are on strike. and paper which again is very illegal.

3. Looks like another "Jackass" sequel. nt

5. It's my contention that even if you believe in and love the 2nd amendment...

.... at some point you just have to admit that the vast majority of humans don't have the mental, emotional, and physical wherewithal/acumen/coordination to carry around a loaded pistol safely. That includes the vast majority of humans that can pass the test required to become a police officer.

This video seems to go to my point.

6. Is this going to be a wc claim?

Will he be claiming workmans comp for this injury? Or want an early retirement due to a disability? I wonder if they had a story cooked up before they found out there was video of the incident.

19. WC has exclusions for "Horse Play."

8. Thanks de Blasio

9. Clearly the street pavement caused this.....

...because it has no respect for authority.

10. Actually, I think that is pretty funny.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

12. It would be even funnier if his last words to the driver were, "I love you!"

[Kennah]

11. Why was the car going so fast during a slowdown?

[Hoppy]

13. It probably wasn't going fast. The camera was taping in intervals...

maybe every two or 5 seconds.

[Unknown Beatle]

14. Watch the video again.

It was taping at normal speed and not at intervals as witnessed by people walking across the street and by what appears to be a cop walking by a blue dumpster ahead of the police car that suddenly stopped and caused the accident.

15. I'm thinking my attempt at humor failed, even though I thought it was funny

[Hoppy]

17. After you having brought my attention, it is funny.

[drynberg]

16. See, problem is the boys in blue are so busy not working and so they are inventing new ways to goof

Off...My advise is to get back to work, stop turning their backs on the Mayor and oh yeah, stop killing innocent citizens of the City, especially if they are darker than a paper bag...not funny, pathetic.

[Hoppy]

18. Wait until O.S.H.A. gets on the case.

N.Y.C. will be fined seven thousand $$$ for requiring the cop to ride on the hood. $70,000 (10 x ) for violating the seat belt requirement. They will list the seat belt violation as a "willful violation" since seat belts are a known regulation.


The cops defense is probably that the passenger seat was wet from spilled coffee and soggy donut crumbs. Would you want to sit on a wet, soggy seat?

[Sanity Claws]

22. ?

Your post doesn't make sense.

Is it a jab at OSHA?

[Plucketeer]

21. Mean streets

The pavement has no compassion for an assaulting cranium.
