wow, that was the most intense car chase ever. I bet they beat the crap out of the driver later ...

A good example of where they should have just followed at a safe distance.

I liked the part where the chuckleheads got up in front of the truck, got out and then threw rocks as he went by.... Where are the spike strips....

Is that really what they were doing, throwing rocks?

That's what it looked like, but I thought they had to be throwing something else like maybe bullets or something.

The one in view was throwing rocks, but his partner was firing away as you could hear the pops. I like how they pay no attention to the spewing fuel leak at the end.

I was disappointed the brutality was cut out. For once, it seemed required.

Why would they be throwing bullets?

Well, my first thought was: Why isn't he shooting at him?

Then I thought: Maybe he was out of bullets.

But he was throwing something at him... so I thought: Maybe he did have bullets, but he was out of gun.

Then how could the driver hear the cops screaming at him over the loud speaker?

It's not in the U.S.A., or somewhere else the police are thugs.

On that note, was the cop throwing rocks at the truck? More polite than bullets I suppose. In the State's they'd have shot him dead there.

pretty good driving for being drunk. in the U.S.A. he would have hit 4-5 cars with that rig and the cops would have killed him afterwards. Plus we would have had a chase chopper in the air

Aaaaah The good old Russian Roads.

Smokey and the бандит!!

The бандит is hired on to run a tractor trailer full of Used cars over country lines in hot pursuit by a pesky sheriff.

бандит is a truck-driving Russian who accept a dare from big-shots Big and Little Putin to pick up a truckload of Cars from Kiev and drive through Donetsk and then return it to Moscow within a specified amount of time.

Quotes!

Russian Trooper: Did you see that? They went right through our roadblock!

Valery Bolotov: You som'bitches couldn't close an umbrella!

Maybe trying to break the windshield to impede his ability to see without shooting directly at the guy.

Too many assumptions in this thread.

You have no idea what was going on in the semi's cab. We only know he was drunk after the fact. Guy could have had a seizure or stroke, been fighting a hijacker, or simply had multiple, innocent people as passengers. The only reason you can condemn him for bad judgement is because you, the viewer, knew the verdict before you even clicked the link.

I was surprised that they elevated the situation to trying to shoot the tires out.

I laughed at the fact that the passenger of the cop car looks like he's playing a video-game for the first 1/3rd of the clip (probably prepping his gun).

I was tickled that Russian highway patrol has mauve-colored seats.

Anyway, I agree with force-when-necessary, and corporal punishment as a last resort, but if you don't exhaust all other options first: Fuck you, your government, and whatever laws you think support that.
