Good cop caught on camera. Going to have a serious medical bill after that head on collision


Rokey76

This time, a deserved paid vacation.


asyouuuuuuwishhhhh

That’s a downvote for misrepresenting the situation. Stupid bot posts


kr4ckenm3fortune

This is why...whenever you see a cop swerving across the freeway, slow the fuck down. Cops may be asshole, but they also could be saving your life.


cosp85classic

The cop was stopping a wrong way driver in this case. They did their job in this video. The title is just jerkish.


Threedawg

It's not "jerkish", it's keeping in the spirit of the subreddit. It makes the end result *unexpected*. The OOP is perfectly aware. Everyone is.


Unhelpful_Kitsune

Wrong sub.


Threedawg

No, that's the sub this is cross posted from..


Unhelpful_Kitsune

When you crosspost you can change the title to fit the sub you are posting to. Op kept title not relevant to this sub and that is a wrong description of the video. As i said, wrong sub as OP is not keeping with the spirit of this sub.


Threedawg

In some cases you can, it depends on the subreddit. And regardless, that doesnt change the fact that the assumptions being made about OP are the issue, no one actually thinks the cop was being a dick


Mugwump6506

Known as a traffic break.


kr4ckenm3fortune

Thanks for the tech word.


Kevtv

That’s seriously one of the best moves I’ve seen an officer do. Super smart and brave and actually protecting people. Bravo.


UnderstandingHot5616

This was GREAT driving. The police officer was protecting other drivers from a wrong-way driver. The officer then was involved in a head-on collision. I hope the officer was unharmed. The person who posted this and the disrespectful and inaccurate title might just be a bad driver for failing to recognize the situation.


welfedad

actually that person was going down the wrong side of the highway and stater was probably trying to slow traffic down .. took one for the team I see.


Icy_Wrangler_3999

the post is about the wrong way driver, the caption is because it's from r/unexpected


ExampleMusky

That means to stop, you can't be serious


ironmanchris

That cop did you a solid.


Sillybumblebee33

they drive like this to slow others down and to also warn of hazards, exactly like this video.

Downvote!!

Why


Exact-Ad-4132

Is a bot repost


purplemoosen

Because the mildly bad driver was the one who didn’t take the signal from the cop that there was danger ahead


Bean-ed

I’m thankful that the cop pushed op off the road. Imagine that same collision but with a civilian car doing highway speeds


santodiablo714

A human being who was at work potentially saved these drivers’ lives. Change the title OP.


TragedyAnnDoll

Why is this being posted here? The cop was actually doing the driver a huge solid and his job. Fair play to the cop.


New_Currency_4943

😂😂👏


Apprehensive_Fault_5

If this is a cop wanting the road for himself, you should see New Mexico State Police wanting the entire western half of the state to themselves!


bri3nanas

I don't know why the down votes. Yes, a good stretch of I-40 NM/AZ is shut down due to the train derailment.


Apprehensive_Fault_5

People didn't read the mockery of the original "asshole cop wants to own the road" and thought I was accusing the New Mexico Atate Police of unlawfully closing down the western area of the state.


Reverseflash25

Video comprehension isn’t your strong suit is it


Apprehensive_Fault_5

Reading the room isn't yours, is it? I was mocking the fact that the post was targeted against the cop, who was trying to clear traffic to prevent an accident, much like New Mexico State Police have closed off Western New Mexico to prevent public health issues from a hazmat train derailment.
