Take a look at this film clip. Personaly I think the Spanish police did an outstanding job stopping this punk, but I have to wonder what the reaction would be if this happened in L.A. or some other US city. How fast would the local Police Department be slapped with a lawsuit?

I wholeheartedly second that

Holy crap, that's fucking awesome. But I don't think there's any way cops could get away with that in America, especially if the guy in question was a minority.

one thing i have noticed about European justice: while they lack the death penalty, and prison terms are light, if you fuck with the police when committing a violent crime you'll usually die. painfully.

*Saves video to computer*

That was great. I can't believe the guy accepted a motorcycle, it's asking to get shot or run over.

A moment of silence for the motorbike.

Anywho, there's no way that police in the US would've gotten away with it, but they SHOULD be able to, if only for the comedic value of the resulting videos.

Yes, but which one has been bribed?

That's something for Wildest Police Chases. I can just imagine Paul Stantovich's (sp?) commentary: "This thug thought he would take the police for a ride. Little did he know that this ride--doesn't have seatbelts! Now he's head over heels in trouble, turning on the wheel--of justice!"

Sweet justice.

See, we used to have this here in the United States. Dammit, where has our frontier spirit gone?!? This makes baby Crockett cry

Fuck yeah, go Spain.

This is something US police officers could do legaly.

Police already shoot at tires while moving and try and bump the back of a speeding car to put it into a spin (many times causing it to roll over).

I say good for the Spanish Police. That was awesome! The criminal got what he deserved. Wish the police would be more like this in the U.S.
