That's actually used as a Psychopathy test sometimes.

The train is set to run over 5 kids, you can switch it to just kill one kid. Do you murder one child, or do you leave it alone and let it kill five kids?

The main difference in the case of a psychopath is they won't hesitate. One is less than five, bam, decision made. It never crosses their mind that this makes them effectively a murderer.

I agree! I am also bored out of my mind with the whole lego thing. Whenever I get into a car with someone I always remind them that points can be earned by running over lego people.

Especially crippled lego people with broken and missing hands, missing legs. Might as well run them over and break them completely. Or the ones with faded logos from your dad's era of legos -- stamp out those faded icons. Or the ones with missing faces. What happened to their faces?? WHAT HAPPENED TO THEIR FACES?!?!?!?! So bored of it all -- of all the legos... so bored of... legos. Like prostitutes in GTA. I'm so bored of prostitutes... in GTA.

Ut oh.

I always feel would be much more appropriate if these guys drove trucks/bombs/gunfire through buildings of government. I kind of think that's who they really want to get to anyhow. The US would get *more* accomplished if all of Congress were run over.

The suspect was hit by the front of the cruiser, which caused him to fall while the cruiser continued sliding along side him. Part or all of the suspect could easily have ended up under that rear left wheel. So yeah, nearly run over seems pretty accurate.

Oh calm down. I didn't say criminals don't deserve to be apprehended but police officers do need to maintain a certain level of professionalism. What if that officer had run over that *suspect* and killed him? Oops, no trial for him I guess? I'm certainly not suggesting that the guy fleeing from the cops in this video isn't a criminal but he isn't waving a gun around so ramming him with a car seems a bit heavy handed. The police in other countries can manage to apprehend suspects without going all Dukes of Hazard on them. That's all I'm getting at.

As to your other point, complying with overzealous, trigger-happy police officers doesn't guarantee that you aren't still going to end up with a boot in your face or a bullet in you. There have been enough incidents in the news that support that view. Here is one example.

Anyhow I think the officer unintentionally slid his car into the suspect; he probably only meant to cut him off and didn't anticipate the lack of traction lost on the grass.

I don't think you know the meaning of "run over".

Oh FFS! You're told to stop...fucking stop! You won't get run over if you're not running. You won't get dealt with if you don't rob someone's house. Bleeding heart BS.

Yeah, I mean the mirror. Trust me, I know how hard it is to not escalate a situation, I've never been known as a person with a long fuse.

However, in this case, I think if you almost got run over by someone, antagonizing them is probably not the best idea. The car driver clearly was someone who wasn't thinking clearly and hitting the mirror was going to provoke him without a doubt. Of course, hindsight is 20/20, it just sucks that all of this happened because neither of them was willing to back down at the beginning.

I disagree with your take on two counts.

First and foremost, just because somebody else is wrong or being a jerk does NOT automatically make the proper response being an equal or bigger jerk. Even when dealing with police officers. Yes, we expect officers are supposed to be the ones taking the higher road, but lets not just automatically lower the bar for everyone else. Lets encourage the civil part of civil society.

The second point is the presumption that an officer responding to complaints from people is somehow wrong. We have laws in place to balance the rights between all of us. In this case people have the right to walk on the sidewalk without watching to be run over by bikers, and bikers have the right to ride on the sidewalk at no more than 3mph(a very slow walk). If an officer gets complaints from folks about the bikers, he's not being a jerk to go over and check things out. It is, in fact, his job. The people complaining have the same rights as the guys on their bikes and it's the nuance of our laws that dictate who's in the right. In this case it certainly appears that those who complained to the officer where within their rights to do so because it's pretty certain the bikers weren't dropping onto the sidewalk from above at less than 3mph. The bikers were technically within their rights to point out to the officer that merely riding their bikes there was also legal. For the officer's part it looks like he started off with the actual impression that biking on sidewalks was not allowed, but backed off when the biker convinced him it was. In fact, the biker convinced him so much the officer FAILED to properly enforce the bylaw by insisting the bikers slow down. At this point, the complainers rights were stepped on by the officer being too passive and the bikers were left to ride faster than the bylaw states they should.

I really don't know why I should upvote a bunch of people being run over by a car.

But on the other hand, I'm an asshole.

The sad thing, it won't make a lick of difference.

I listen to ppl in Aus bemoaning the loss of a local manufacturing industry and other jobs because everything is getting outsourced to cheaper China or India. But they won't spend an extra cent than they have to to buy the quality product and support locals.

We are victims of our own making. If a person bullies you, you either stand up to them, ask for help, or allow it/run away from it. We sate our desire for freedom by purchasing more things we don't need, filling our lives with junk that doesn't make us happy, but distracts us momentarily from the state we are in. We don't take responsibility for allowing the rich, the corps, the gov running over us and taking away our rights. We complain on the internet but won't take to the streets, and feel like we've made a difference even as we get soaked as the hurricane blows our piss back in our face.

We are the problem. The US was founded on the grass roots movement against British imperialism. I'm an Australian and I understand that. It's not until US citizens get that and actually decide to do something about it that anything will change.

And when nothing changes and we're slaves to the corporate machine with no recourse, we'll blame everything but ourselves.

Bonus points for running over competitors? Please?

Man, that movie is so good as a comedy. Wahlberg is pretty funny, but dude, John Leguizamo cracks me up the entire time. Literally every look on his face is "Did I just pee in my pants a little?"

And the way his hair shimmy shakes while he's realizing his demise, with a back lit calming sun... brilliant. Brilliant comedy.

Almost as funny as the scene in Pet Cemetery when the little boy is run over by that truck and his shoes go rolling off into the middle of the road with his little feet still inside. That'll give some nightmares, but wow, the way the dad reacts with his epic "Noooooooo-Noooo-Noooooooooooo" with his hair wiggling in slow-mo with a beautiful sheen, I can't help but laugh out loud every time!!

Oh, here's the clip: https://youtu.be/6U9pjdcn7uA

Here is the thing, and it's the reason why I have started to switch my opinion of our law enforcement. The number of stories and videos that show good cops has become dramatically outnumbered by the ones showing despicable human beings wearing a uniform.

Now what am I supposed to think as a rational person when I post a video showing a good cop, not wanting to shoot a murder suspect that might be armed, and immediately after that I get inundated with multiple videos showing officers literally murdering, beating, soliciting, and running over people?

It's equivalent to me coming to your house every day and beating the shit out of you for months, but one time I buy you an ice cream cone instead and tell you to have a great day. Now can you tell me that you are the type of person that is going to say, "Wow, he got me an ice cream and didn't hurt me today!" or are you a thinking creature that is going to say, "Fuck you and your ice cream, you sociopath!"?

It's just not good enough anymore to be that one good cop or even multiple good cops unless you are willing to take a stand and out the bad ones to be criminals. The thin blue line can no longer be held if we are to gain a modicum of trust back towards our law enforcement. No more buddy system, you fuck up and you do time. Until then, I can't trust a cop anymore and I have actual family that does police work.
