Sure, you can bitch that it wasn't secure and right up until the guy emptied it and walked off the tackle would be legit.
The principle of it is that police are held to a higher standard than vigilante justice. They have a tough job and I respect the hell out of
SpicyLava
That guy cost them another six hours of overtime pay. Of course he got tackled!
Stoicnihilist
It would've been necessary before the guy got to the back. When tackle happened it was just bullshit adrenaline rush attack on a civilian.
QuackDodgers
Or, you know, destroying a crime scene
cvilletrack
Or you know, physics. Time and distance. He was on a bike and they were on foot. Couldn't make it in time.
Sure, and by the time they made it there the action was no longer needed.
Based on what? You have no clue what was left in the bag up until that point. They were stopping him from going further.
Based on the dude emptying the bag, standing up with nothing in his hands and walking away from it?
mooseablethenok
I'm just waiting for this kind of crap to predicate an obvious "not bomb" with the well hidden real bomb nearby...
Doumdidoum
Wasn't that the tactic back in the days? A false bomb set somewhere cause a traffic jam where the real bomb was. Boom.
Yes, it is. Pretty much the reason why any delay through a threat zone and a safe zone is a bad idea, also why TSA is fucking horseshit.
Jagernot
I mean, it was in the Bourne Ultimatum.
Rudywasoffside
Still is in the middle east. Easy to spot IED to halt the patrol/convoy, well hidden one 20 yards away
Plot twist, the first one is also a real IED. because of course it is...
Wvnutjob
Notice how the First Responder "Hero" waited till he was done before he gooned him from behind. Pig should be arrested for assault.
DefinitelyNotSatan
Are you genuinely unable to look any deeper into the situation than "stupid fucking cops cops are evil," or is this meant to get a reaction?
xKaraKx
That "pig" was waiting until he put the bag down in case there was a bomb in the bag. It could be remotely triggered. So any more people ove
Why then did he kick the thermos? The only thing that could have been a bomb in all the stuff the dude dumped out of the bag?
Thats not the only thing that could have been a bomb
Your right those papers had mathematical proof the Earth is flat on them and that's the real reason he's still under arrest.
Over* that police line is just adding lives to the potential explosion. You not knowing why someone does something is not a good enough
Reason for you to let your own stupid bias show in such a dumbass manner. Youre retarded

Not how bail works.
OddOod
It isn't? How does bail work?
Bail is actually a declared amount that someone else has to pay if you don’t show up for your court date.
You just lose the money if you never show up
But you have to post bail in order to be ROR'd
Fortunately my experience with the justice system here is limited, but I believe no money is actually exchanged until the accused no shows.
Could be different in the US. I'm in AUS.

Ya, everyone who could have been fuckin blown up by his stupidity should help him out.

Well if the police were doing their job no-one should have been close to the bomb or let someone just ride their bike up to it.

Oh I'm not arguing the fact that this guy is an idiot, but an idiot managed to just ride up to what was thought to be a potential bomb.

If it had been a real bomb, the po-po would be in big doo-doo. Terrible cordon if a guy got through on a bike.
eggmuffin
I've never seen any police cordon that you could get through if you just tried. They're not supposed to be hard barriers.
Now that I think of it, his dismount implies he may have been initially chased
idontevenknowsillymonkey
If I saw a guy charging in full throttle (so to speak) toward a potential bomb site, I'd be worried about not just what he's doing but what/
he might be carrying, to be honest. Imagine stopping him right at the barrier and him exploding in a crowd of onlookers or some shit.
BigFatBobbie
I once accidentally entered an area with a serious gas leak. I just walts passed the police barricade when the cop was not looking.
I was oblivious, but the cop was more so.
GadenKerensky
I mean, I think most police expect people to *not* charge a potential bomb site.
You thought...wrong
Omegarighteous
Surprised he wasn’t shot, I mean it could of been seen he was trying to detonate said bomb
Placentaur
Its not the U.S.
RhymingEverything
Said this last time, I am about 90% sure the backpack belonged to the guy, who else would bother?

This looks 100% like a homeless guy to me, trying to steal from the bag and getting angry that its empty
It wasn't empty
IW42
Empty of things he wanted.
Like a home?
IdoitfortheLOLs
and he emptied it in the middle of the sidewalk because he didn't know what was in it?
To show it wasn't a bomb.
He emptied it for the bomb squad...
WhiteSavage
I dunno, there's some wacky weirdos out there waiting for their second of fame
That's fair, people have done a lot dumber shit. It's funnier if he was just trying to get to his apartment or something and was willing(1)
to risk his life because he had one of those days where he's had enough of people's shit. (2)
causality
Has it ever been a bomb? Literally, has anyone EVER caught a bomb in a Western urban setting before it exploded?
itstzarina
Fairly frequently?
At the Olympic games once IIRC.

Yeah, most recently in Texas. The crickets the school shooter had, and Austin before that, FedEx facility. Boston before that.
The British used to find IRA bombs all the time
skhenry1101
Yes a number of times in london
Fedelicous
Twice in Stockholm related to football rivalries. I was at one of them
DrKenAdams
I wish more often when people find a lost bag *someone* would just open it.
Reminds me of a joke I heard. Times have changed, it used to be you'd find an unattendbag on the train/bus & think 'I'm having that' but now
You're looking at it thinking 'well I guess this is how I check out'
Yes
keenidiot
Yes. It's just not newsworthy.
Vailedhart
That tackle was the most unnecessary thing I have ever seen
choakid999
Nah, I believe it necessary. Only thing I see is him trying to steal from a backpack
heartlessninja6
Mr. President!
MVPHingleMcCringleBerry
baconsmellsreallygood
With the context of only this video yes... yes it is
billymaditsdone
The most unnecessary thing? Definitely not in this situation. Just because he pulled clothes out of the bag, doesn't mean it's safe/no bomb.
Could be potentially putting others in danger. But this is what they are trained for and I'm glad they take these things seriously.
4e6f6e65
100% necessary so the dude doesn't run like an idiot.
Lheurdes1337
Yeah but it feels so good to tackle someone
It's all fun and games until someone loses a testicle

IT'S JUST A TEST TACKLE BRO

Low quality bait
Lolzorski
At least he didn't get 40 warning shots in the back.
Hubb
If it was me I'd be firing a cannon just so nobody could top my stupid over reaction in the macho man stakes, tackle is nothing
kgar77
I'm surprised they didn't shoot him as soon as he approached the bag. Is this not the US?
Randyw8483
Yup.
thejamesjuice
Pushing him away from it in case it was explosive
I guaran-fucking-tee he has at least 4 broken ribs, and possibly a punctured lung.
They were late because they probably were looking the other way, but made the right call, he could've blown up the block lol
Kassimila
Agreeed
gamesthatiplay
Well at least they didn't shoot him.
LostCause97
So, you've never seen a shirtless man?
Manbunbro
Guy just tried to blow up everyone in the area. his body language expressed his disappointment that there was no bomb.
DonaldTrumpsFlaccidHairpiece
Yes, but I wholeheartedly approve of it :D
In life, if you have a choice between 2 things...always choose "Tackle a mofo"
Cheomesh
It's to take away any and all advantage they may feel like they have. Starts them on the back-heel, in addition to reducing mobility.
I disagree
Pirlouit
Was worth it just for leaving all the trash behind.
Heliogabalus227
Protocols, yo.

He made the cops look dumb, so what choice did they have but reassert themselves via a tackle?
I know this is a joke, but you don't actually believe that do You? You have enough depth of thought to understand the situation?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETfiUYij5UE
maijen0062000
In certain parts in america that guy would have been shot
They may have before he opened it. Tackling is the lesser measure. Anyone who approaches a potential bomb in that way deserves it.
derpderpderp182
Like all parts...
BannedbyastupidMod
A man who approaches a possible bomb who may have intentions of setting it off. Think before you comment.

What if it had been a bomb and he was the terrorist trying to set it off
ScottsADick
He’s lucky a sniper didn’t assume this and take a shot...

It would have been WAY too late.
Shots should have rung out if that was a concern.

Then why would 4 police officers approach said bomb?

This is the real question. If it's such a serious bomb why were they diving it in groups of 4.
SomeDetroitGuy
It would be a BIT LATE FOR THAT
thelittlevikingthatwould
YES THAT!!!! WOOHOO!!
Beardojon
But he wasn't.
They found that out after they tackled him
I disagree. His motives were not known and he was putting everyone in the area at risk.
LOLOLOOLOL
Shut the hell up you sheep cuck
WhatSchwaMeansToMe
Which is a reason to tackle him before he opens the bag, the only reason after is punishment.
He was brought to the ground to be arrested in a timely manner. I see nothing wrong with this video.
Does your tongue get dry?
randomdrifter54
I feel like his motives were hey look a bag let's get free shit. After working retail I doubt he noticed the yellow tape
StonerCatJay
Okay, but if that was the case then they should have done it when he first approached, not after he showed them there was nothing in the bag
2) and had plenty of time to set off a bomb if that was his intention.
Once he entered the potential blast zone it was unsafe to give chase until he proved there was no threat
CapitalNick
Oh because they must have been standing right next to him? Or maybe, perhaps, they were far away due to thinking it was a bomb.
Regardless they were pretty fucking late trying to stop him lol.
CheeseBakedCrouton

Yeah, most recently in Texas. The crickets the school shooter had, and Austin before that, FedEx facility. Boston before that.
MadMupp
The British used to find IRA bombs all the time
skhenry1101
Yes a number of times in london
Fedelicous
Twice in Stockholm related to football rivalries. I was at one of them
DrKenAdams
I wish more often when people find a lost bag *someone* would just open it.
MadMupp
Reminds me of a joke I heard. Times have changed, it used to be you'd find an unattendbag on the train/bus & think 'I'm having that' but now
MadMupp
You're looking at it thinking 'well I guess this is how I check out'
xKaraKx
Yes
keenidiot
Yes. It's just not newsworthy.
Vailedhart
That tackle was the most unnecessary thing I have ever seen
choakid999
Nah, I believe it necessary. Only thing I see is him trying to steal from a backpack
heartlessninja6
Mr. President!
MVPHingleMcCringleBerry
baconsmellsreallygood
With the context of only this video yes... yes it is
billymaditsdone
The most unnecessary thing? Definitely not in this situation. Just because he pulled clothes out of the bag, doesn't mean it's safe/no bomb.
billymaditsdone
Could be potentially putting others in danger. But this is what they are trained for and I'm glad they take these things seriously.
4e6f6e65
100% necessary so the dude doesn't run like an idiot.
Lheurdes1337
Yeah but it feels so good to tackle someone
Vailedhart
It's all fun and games until someone loses a testicle
TheRicM
IT'S JUST A TEST TACKLE BRO
oldarchive
Low quality bait
Lolzorski
At least he didn't get 40 warning shots in the back.
Hubb
If it was me I'd be firing a cannon just so nobody could top my stupid over reaction in the macho man stakes, tackle is nothing
kgar77
I'm surprised they didn't shoot him as soon as he approached the bag. Is this not the US?
Randyw8483
Yup.
thejamesjuice
Pushing him away from it in case it was explosive
Stratego89
I guaran-fucking-tee he has at least 4 broken ribs, and possibly a punctured lung.
QuackDodgers
They were late because they probably were looking the other way, but made the right call, he could've blown up the block lol
Kassimila
Agreeed
gamesthatiplay
Well at least they didn't shoot him.
LostCause97
So, you've never seen a shirtless man?
Manbunbro
Guy just tried to blow up everyone in the area. his body language expressed his disappointment that there was no bomb.
DonaldTrumpsFlaccidHairpiece
Yes, but I wholeheartedly approve of it :D

In life, if you have a choice between 2 things...always choose "Tackle a mofo"
Cheomesh
It's to take away any and all advantage they may feel like they have. Starts them on the back-heel, in addition to reducing mobility.
thesixfingerman
I disagree
Pirlouit
Was worth it just for leaving all the trash behind.
Heliogabalus227
Protocols, yo.
jetflight
He made the cops look dumb, so what choice did they have but reassert themselves via a tackle?
DefinitelyNotSatan
I know this is a joke, but you don't actually believe that do You? You have enough depth of thought to understand the situation?

maijen0062000
In certain parts in america that guy would have been shot
DefinitelyNotSatan
They may have before he opened it. Tackling is the lesser measure. Anyone who approaches a potential bomb in that way deserves it.
derpderpderp182
Like all parts...
BannedbyastupidMod
A man who approaches a possible bomb who may have intentions of setting it off. Think before you comment.
maijen0062000
I did that why I put down certain parts, think before YOU comment
BannedbyastupidMod
English, try it.
maijen0062000
Logic, use it.
onlyveganreplys
What if it had been a bomb and he was the terrorist trying to set it off
ScottsADick
He’s lucky a sniper didn’t assume this and take a shot...
onlyveganreplys
Agreed
HEXADECIMAL
It would have been WAY too late.
Cheomesh
Shots should have rung out if that was a concern.
Sremmos
Then he tackle still doesn’t do anything?
d0o0o0d
...kinda seems like a self-correcting problem to me.
SnowMeowPlush
What if you didn't think your comments logic threw before you posted it?
Anthf
Then why would 4 police officers approach said bomb?
Xpaqui2
This is the real question. If it's such a serious bomb why were they diving it in groups of 4.
SomeDetroitGuy
It would be a BIT LATE FOR THAT
thelittlevikingthatwould
SomeDetroitGuy
YES THAT!!!! WOOHOO!!
thelittlevikingthatwould
Beardojon
But he wasn't.
onlyveganreplys
They found that out after they tackled him
daggerleep
I disagree. His motives were not known and he was putting everyone in the area at risk.
LOLOLOOLOL
Shut the hell up you sheep cuck
WhatSchwaMeansToMe
Which is a reason to tackle him before he opens the bag, the only reason after is punishment.
daggerleep
He was brought to the ground to be arrested in a timely manner. I see nothing wrong with this video.
LOLOLOOLOL
Does your tongue get dry?
randomdrifter54
I feel like his motives were hey look a bag let's get free shit. After working retail I doubt he noticed the yellow tape
StonerCatJay
Okay, but if that was the case then they should have done it when he first approached, not after he showed them there was nothing in the bag
StonerCatJay
2) and had plenty of time to set off a bomb if that was his intention.
ishkaga
Once he entered the potential blast zone it was unsafe to give chase until he proved there was no threat
CapitalNick
Oh because they must have been standing right next to him? Or maybe, perhaps, they were far away due to thinking it was a bomb.
StonerCatJay
Regardless they were pretty fucking late trying to stop him lol.
