Our friends over at Platform posted this video of some fat dude in a Hawaiian shirt terrorizing like 30 English cops with a machete. WTF?
Our friends over at Platform posted this video of some fat dude in a Hawaiian shirt terrorizing like 30 English cops with a machete. WTF? Watch the first cop as he RAMS THE DUDE WITH A FUCKING GARBAGE CAN. Then, when Machete Man confronts another officer, she RUNS AWAY. (God, I hope it was a she.)
If this was New York, you might get one “Put down your weapon!” before NYPD unloads three clips into your ass. Instead, gun-less British cops have to bring out the entire fucking riot squad to subdue one crazy person. The officers are now being hailed for their bravery and courage.
Listen England,
I know you think all Americans are crazy gun-nuts, but I’m not saying that that the cops should’ve gone all Amadou Diallo on Machete Man’s ass. He is obviously off his meds and needs to be restrained, not wasted. All I’m saying is, seriously, you should probably give your police a weapon that’s a little better than a miniature baseball bat. Did you notice how the kid taping the video above actually locked his window despite being two stories away from any possible harm? Even he has no faith in the police protecting him.
So give ‘em their guns and their balls. And while you’re at it, swap out those Matchbox toys for a couple of real cars.
the good outweighs the bad when the police don’t have guns
classic arv
god save the queen
have you actually seen cops in NYC (or anywhere else in the USA) deal with a dude like this?
they also call in 30 cops
even with guns, the cops aren’t supposed to just blast a lunatic
they need to subdue the guy, and it takes a lot of cops to subdue a machete wielding guy on PCP
in this violence-ravaged city we call Perth, Australia, police recently shot a knife wielding woman in the stomach. And if that wasn’t enough, they shot a knife wielding br0 only a couple of days later. Good on them, in my opinion. Fucker’s got a knife; fucker’s tasting lead. And the world goes on.
due to $100K fly in jobs for smashing rocks at the mine, Perth is overwhelmed with bogans
they are like zombies or CHUDs. once they start wilding out there’s no way to deal with them other than simply shooting them.
what I meant was that cops can’t legally just start blasting people, not that they should or shouldn’t
if you shoot someone in america you’re looking at $80,000 in legal fees even if you are law enforcement (that is what I learned in my handgun class)
paying 20 cops to mob a nutcase for an hour ($1000) is probably going to be cheaper than paying the legal fees for shooting him ($100,000)
i will bet that even in boganized perth suburbs the cops will face scrutiny and legal fees for those shootings
tasers are way more fun.
@former folk here: daddy told me shoot to kill or you’re fucked.
That fat dude took allot of mace, I dont think mace effects crazy people.
i love it when americans go out of their way to justify their ridiculously violent culture. carry on.

I love it when ignorant Brits, still bitter as fuck that we whipped their asses two centuries ago, don’t realize their country’s more violent than America. Go fuck yourself:

dude, fuck that! the last thing england needs is cops who have little to no weapon training, carrying around guns and shit. otherwise this can happen: my friend was bipolar. he had an episode a few years ago where he thought everyone was out to get him. he was freaking out on a street in vancouver swinging a bike chain with a lock at these cops who were trying to subdue him. one of the cops panicked, shot and killed my friend. if he and the 3 other officers had better training, they could have taken him down and arrested him and he’s still be alive today. fuck guns. that shit is stupid. and gun advocacy is just as stupid. guns are useless. if this dude with a knife in the vid above had a gun, then yea man, get some cops with guns out there. but guy is carrying a knife. the cops need better take-down training, that’s all.
I think british cops are doing their thing trying to avoid escalating situations like this, by not turning this endless cat and mouse game into an arms race. Even if sometimes it takes a little more patience and a little more personnel to deal with a situation like this. Yay to them.
The cars ARE outrageous.
@ Truthpooper: I love it when ‘Murricans think people in the UK even know what fucking century the war of independence was in. Seriously, we’re really not bitter to be free of your fat arses.
@getafuckinglife I’m very sad to hear of your friend. That sounds like something you see on Fox news every day. Im glad to know that some, more civilized, societies don’t think keeping the peace = shoot the motherfuckers cuz they’re either guilty or crazy. I wonder when the yanks are going to get their heads out of their asses and figure out that attitude doesn’t reduce crime rates.
Let’s all take note: the dudes filming are totally shocked by machete man. They don’t wonder when the fuzz are going to blow him away; rather, one comments something must be wrong with him (empathy and insight…shocking). They also comment about how the police managed to keep the situation from escalating to extreme violence. These are GOOD things. Very clearly demonstrate the difference between “right to bear arms” assholes and the rest of the civilized world. Nuff said.
@former folk hero
yes! i seen nypd call 6 squad cars, 2 cops in each for 1 cranky elderly man who got pissed and knocked over a chip stand in a bodega. this in astoria!
If the cops are such pussies why don’t you go to england and do it then. tough guy.
someone should shoot arv, save him from breeding and shitting out some more idiots
im from brooklyn, id never been the victim of any serious crime in my life until i moved to london last year, i have been robbed on the way home from work in broad daylight 100m from a police station, and me and a friend randomly attacked in central london for merely looking at the wrong person on a night out, my friend had his jaw broken, every time the police arrived 30 minutes late and didnt take us seriously
pussies??? would you go near anyone flailing a machete about if you were holding a 1 foot baton??
Men of america, i know you hate us brits because we come over to your country and have half your female population dropping to their knees and forming an orderly queue when they hear our accent! And just so you know noone gives a fuck about the war of independance! we dont even learn about that shit in school, most people couldnt tell you what it was.
Also dont be so proud of ending World war 2, you waited till 60 million people had already died!
Must dash, im perfecting my prince william accent for the women of LA this summer
bollocks.
@british anonymous guy
american women thought british accents were hot 10 years ago when hugh grant was in his prime
but now they think of Ali G, Ricky Gervais and lardy bald football hooligans
good luck though
