Kansas City police helicopter autorotates like a boss

From Jalopnik---

A Kansas City police helicopter was helping a neighboring community chase down a murder suspect when something suddenly went bad ---and the pilot had to autorotate (land without engine power, something very hard to do in a real emergency in a helicopter).

Pilot pulls off the skidding, but clearly very controlled landing on a residential street (in front of a security cam) and immediately hops out to stop traffic from driving in the blades as they spin down.

No clear cause apparently to the engine stoppage.

Amazing.
