YouTube Description:
A man wanted on suspicion of drunken driving led police Friday on a slow-speed pursuit, pulled over and started inhaling from balloons in a bizarre standoff that ended with officers smashing his window and pulling him from the vehicle.
The suspect was identified by his father, who was at the scene, as 24-year-old Jorge Leonardo Sanchez.
His father said Sanchez had problems in the past with nitrous oxide, an inhalant typically known as laughing gas that when huffed creates a feeling of euphoria.
Aerial video showed the man inhaling from balloons and then refilling them with some sort of tank inside the car.
At 11:12 a.m., six police officers with guns drawn approached the vehicle. After talking to Sanchez through the passenger-side window, one of the officers fired a low-impact BB round into the car, striking him.
Police then swarmed the vehicle. One officer smashed in the driver-side window, opened the door and pulled the man to the ground.

radxDoes a "suspicion of drunk driving" really merit all of this?
Three officers with guns drawn plus the female officer with the shotgun, followed by four officers manhandling the bloke on the ground.
chingaleraHow many fat, uniformed, fucks does it take to drag a man buzzed on whippets out of his car in L.A.?
Forty to fifty-five fat fucking fucks!
The inert, party-gas is still legal y'know-Hope the guy gets off-
TheSofaKingHopefully you're the one he runs over next time.

grinterAbout halfway through the process of being handcuffed, with several men standing on his back, I'll bet you $20 he was thinking, "starting to come down.... quick! I need another hit!".
entr0pyWell, it was at the end of a 10 min car chase which only ended after they deployed a spike strip, and he was huffing N2O the whole time. Apparently that's enough to make the cops nervous you might do something crazy rather than give up peacefully.

deathcowWell, if they had a little nitrous they would be a lot calmer.

charliemsays...lol, nos totally disarms you from doing anything...like, not even walking. Its rediculous.
coolhundsays...Im someone who tries to grab problems by its roots and not just fight them with retarded acts that just make things worse.
You keep justifying acts like that and ignore the causes.
Hopefully you're the one he runs over next time.
lavollamerican police are so... rounded.
chingaleraOh, but we're too fast for the criminally insane-Are you angry at my apparent disdain for police?
I do not believe that you come out of the police force with the same morality, empathy, or humanity when you joined the academy. At some point as a United States policeman, you will be expected to compromise ethics and humanity, you will be tainted by the very nature of what the profession has become.
Then again, a large majority of hind-brained, low-intellect control-freak fucks join the force, and for that there should be more public inquiry and standards established for who is allowed to become a storm trooper....because, that's where this country is headed, along with private security everywhere-Douchbags running the show.
Who knows, maybe I'll get mashed between an interior wall and a SOFA the next time the house is driven into by someone on nitrous
