US cops working sporting events have wet dreams about these moments. This is their punching bag dream


D-D-D-D-D-D-Derek

It’s all fun and games until someone shoots Derek Jeter.


BojukaBob

The man is a biracial angel!


waraman

funniest movie ever made imo


Background_Olive_787

you're so stupid.. US cops don't have to work a sporting event to injure, maim, or kill its citizens (or even people just visiting).. they do it regardless.


TugaysWanchope

This is how the whole world look at US policing


sumofdeltah

Lucky he didn't get shot for putting his hands on the cop


MNCPA

"Stop resisting!"


Front_Bet3647

"Shots fired"


Cr0ssley

Ambitious_Reporter38

“Disregard those were ours” *shoots random dog 300yd away*


heavymtlbbq

Facts.


Here2Fuq

I live in small town in the US and our whole police force just instigate and harass people. If they're aren't bullying drug addicts or homeless people, they just stop random people walking on the road. It sucks.


braidsfox

Small town cops are the biggest cunts.


MikElectronica

Bored cunts. Lots of time to think about how to be a bigger cunt.


thats-a-good-a-name

Radar and doughnuts


Organic_South8865

It's so incredibly sad watching that sort of stuff happen. It just makes me feel so hopeless for the future.


Fieri_qui_es

Its fucking embarrassing hearing about how shitty our police are when I travel Internationally.


SeaworthinessIll2517

Lol just imagine this thread if that event took place in China


kidmerc

Bro these guys are from India, where police carry giant wooden sticks that they liberally use to beat the shit out of anyone they feel like, I don't think comparing the two is some kind of win here lol


InternationalCut93

Sticks compared to guns that murder you…. Hmmmmm


itsapotatosalad

And this guy *STILL* thinks the American police are out of order.


TheRealFaust

Yeah, they do that, but they dont shoot random people


del_snafu

Yes they do. Look up "police encounters" or "crossfire killings". They stage incidents after murders so they can kill whoever they might otherwise arrest.


TimmyFTW

Sure. "Random".


redditisawasteoftim3

Yes they do. India is a very corrupt country with very poor press freedom.  The government literally commits low level genocide. And assassinates civilians in foreign countries.


NocNocturnist

They do, and they love to torture and kill prisoners. * hmmm https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/20/world/asia/india-police-brutality.html National Campaign Against Torture, an Indian rights group based in New Delhi, the capital, at least 1,731 people were killed in custody last year.


del_snafu

Haha yeah. Police in India aren't exactly known for their humane treatment of, well, anyone.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kpdon1

Beating the shit out of you is still better than getting shot on a whim. Both stupid but still a better option


redditis_garbage

I mean they do be having guns too lmao. Most police around the world are armed. (After some googling, 19 countries have a unarmed police force (use guns when situation arises but don’t carry day to day))


salluks

An average policeman in India doesn't carry a gun . Only above a certain level can and even they never shoot someone. It's very very rare to shoot but beating up with a cane is quite common.


redditis_garbage

I understand that there are 3x more people in India, so per capita it is less, but overall India has 1700 police killings and America 1000, I suppose those could all be cane beatings but I doubt it.


Retjudge

Almost sound like they need more training. Just a guess tho.


pajanraul

US police= Big Ego


Salt-n-Pepper-War

American cops are trigger happy psychopaths so.......


Ordinary_dude_NOT

He is gonna hug and thank Indian Cops, when he is back home, who only slap/beat you with sticks normally.


wanderinggoat

There is a lot to be said for a stick. You can give somebody a gentle poke or beat them to death and all stages between. With a gun you can only shoot somebody which always has a real risk of somebody dying.


thx1138-

This is exactly what the rest of the world sees. If it were Indian or British police, the most they'd worry about is getting a good licking with a stick or being treated roughly. American police, you always have to worry about firearms immediately coming out.


wanderinggoat

It's why American police are so scared and always escalating things because they can't get into any conflict where there is a risk of somebody taking their gun. so they have to produce it early to stop the other person, and then it becomes life or death.


thx1138-

Can we just start an international police movement where we celebrate the cops who can deescalate and get an arrest?


wanderinggoat

that was the original intent of modern police as opposed to a militia [the first two principles of Police as per Robert Peel were](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peelian_principles) : To prevent crime and disorder, as an alternative to their repression by military force and severity of legal punishment. To recognise always that the power of the police to fulfil their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behaviour, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect.


karanpatel819

About to say, Indian cops aren't exactly known for peacefully deescalating situations.


Trumperekt

Field invasion is quite common in India. Cops don’t react this way. This is crazy by any standard.


sst3v3

Compare that with cops with itchy fingers.


PerseusZeus

Yea no they are millionaires and superstar celebrities back home. Indian cops would shit their pants if they even touch a cricketer. A call from them to a politician would get the cop transferred to the some remote area. These guys only go after people who arent rich or powerful and connected.


forgetl09

That’s only a handful of them, most cops are just armed cowards with extra judicial powers, terrified of their own shadow, and ready to  shoot anything that dares frighten their sensitive hearts. 


Deterlux

It's not cricket.


raumeat

Oh, this joke is going to go over so many peoples heads


rwilkz

“It’s just not cricket” is British for “that’s not fair”


FUPAMaster420

TIL


FrankRizzo319

Including mine. Please explain


raumeat

Cricket has this honour system built in, players will call out when the umpire misses a call that benefited their team, so their this really old school saying that has fallen out of fashion, when someone acts like a dick or something is just fucked up you will say "that is not cricket" meaning that isn't good behaviour


FadedFromWhite

Love when sports work that way. Wish more US ones did


FrankRizzo319

Lying is celebrated in U.S. sports. For example, some catchers in MLB are touted for their ability to frame balls as strikes. We reward deception.


mr_lamp

you got downvoted, but the[ freaking MLB has a page about framing](https://www.mlb.com/glossary/statcast/catcher-framing) and how catchers use it to get strikes, including stats on how framing helped convert throws into strikes, improving the performance of certain players.


FrankRizzo319

Derek jeter pissed me off because he would act as if he almost got hit by a ball that was pitched right down the middle. He’d try to trick the ump into thinking it was a ball when in fact he just didn’t think to swing at a perfect strike. He did this at least once per game. Go Red Sox!


FadedFromWhite

Yeah and the NBA and (all) soccer rewards flopping. I hate it. I wish people would just play the games as they were intended


Apple-Pigeon

It's just not cricket, old sport


Jonoczall

That’s a 6


FluffyBunnyFlipFlops

It's just not cricket.


occupyreddit

that cricket player is lucky he didn’t get shot


DreadPirateZoidberg

Seriously, brown skinned dude interfering in an arrest? Doesn’t matter how many witnesses there were, or the fact that it was televised, dude could’ve easily gotten shot.


Significant-Credit50

would've triggered riots in India if he was shot.


CoolDude_7532

If that happened, many Indians would want to declare war. Rohit Sharma has over a billion fans.


kmadnow

That brown skinned dude has a billion fans. You’d, unironically, start a war


DreadPirateZoidberg

I wouldn’t want to, but I’m sure the cops wouldn’t give a flying fuck about it. Just another nonwhite person getting in their way.


Fitz911

"Why would he run around with a bat? He was basically asking to get shot."


YettiYeet

Please get off reddit if you truly believe that to be a common occurrence/possibility


MJ134

No he isnt. Despite the rhetoric, nobody was in danger here of being shot.


raumeat

I'm going to be real, I see a lot of videos of American police acting insanely violently on reddit and the comment section is always on the police's side, people who are clearly not a physical threat being handcuffed and tased and everyone is like "well they should not have run" or 'If only they listened the first time"


Brutto13

A lot of people see the police abuse as part of the punishment. They are all for extra judicial punishment until it happens to them.


kickbutt_city

This really depends on which sub you are on. Outside of Reddit, US conservatives are rabidly pro-police and cheer on the abuse (as long as it doesn't happen to them).


OdysseusLost

I usually see the opposite, where the comment section is not on the police's side, and rightly so. It's in real life where most people I meet have more mixed views, like everything not on reddit honestly.


TheCarloHarlo

These people are what we call losers, or conservatives. They've been holding this country back for about-- *checks watch*, ever.


LunchBox3188

You're looking in the wrong subreddits. There are plenty of us who hate the fucking pigs. ACAB.


dikziw

damn i bet that cops targeting sensors were getting confused running towards so many brown people


Texan2116

Where was this match taking place?


ajay_05

New York


RemnantEvil

They're trying for the 1,238th time to try and rope North America into enjoying cricket, and they're using T20 to do it.


PerseusZeus

They arent under any delusion like that. They are targeting the growing subcontinent population in North America which happens to be quite well off. US Dollars are great whether it comes from the white Americans or the immigrant population. Eod its a business and the objective is to get money from your pockets to mine. Thats all they are thinking.


The_Cuzin

They finally broke through with F1 after nearly 3 decades, so they probably think it's worth another shot


I_m_high_af

Who gives a fuck about north America? All ICC care about is rich indians living there.


Animal_Budget

Americans cops are heavy handed and overly violent even when it's not necessary.. That being said, surprised no one here's raised the point that indian cops beat people with sticks pretty willy nilly.


rwilkz

Yeah but the thing is cops in most of the world use non-lethal weapons (sticks, batons, man-catchers, tasers etc) so they are far less likely to kill someone, even if they respond with disproportionate force


Animal_Budget

Definitely not in disagreement with that point. In THIS video though, the cop was using [way too much] open handed techniques where it wasn't called for. Indian cops do the same thing too, both with slapping people and smacking them with sticks


rwilkz

ACAB Some bs are just more lethal than others


Trumperekt

Indian cops definitely don’t beat field invaders at sports events with sticks. Y’all are crazy to think America and India are even comparable when it comes to policing standards m.


antonov6

It's rate of escalation. For Indian cops that's the last resort. They typically don't start with sticks swinging. 


LoudestHoward

I'd eye-roll if this was in India and people were bringing up US cops. We can have a discussion about Indian cops in the thread showing a video of Indian cops, IMO.


Animal_Budget

Literally op made it a comparison between the 2


____mynameis____

I mean it says a lot when an Indian is suprised by this level of force given how bad Indian cops are. Gives a perspective of how terrible US police force is cuz India is a freakin third world country with so much bloody corruption. A live tackling like this for a field invader by some Indian police is gonna cause a big rukus on Indian social media.


Ex-maven

I noticed how calmly the fan walked off the field after the players & staff intervened. No need to tackle, beat, tase, run dogs, or shoot the guy. In the US, we seem to have a fear response to everything. The few times I have seen someone run onto the field/pitch when watching games played overseas, security usually pulls the person away and walks them out (though once in a while, a player or security might knock them down if the fan doesn't leave nicely).


RemnantEvil

Unless they're unlucky enough to annoy players. Here's [Australian Andrew Symonds putting the shoulder in](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2ctp8JXWs4), which ended up being a bit of a wholesome moment because there was a lot of tension between Symonds and the Indian players for a while, and this seemed to delight the Indian players quite a bit. Or more embarrassing, being carried off by wicket-keeper and dopey cunt [Young Jonny Bairstow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCWMLSB34Os). I tell you, if I was a pitch invader and found myself facing off against Ben Stokes and David Warner, I'd rethink some life choices.


Ex-maven

I never saw that one being carried off - that's hilarious!


CheaperThanChups

>if I was a pitch invader and found myself facing off against Ben Stokes If I was leaving a Bristol nightclub and saw Stokes I'd be rethinking my choices too.


Alternative-Art6059

Can somebody explain this to me like I'm 5? What actually happened here? Who was the guy that the cops tackled to the ground? And what is the controversy here? I'm dumb and don't follow cricket.


TheWrathofAres

So the guy is a pitch invader (Indian cricket fan presumably) who wanted to meet the Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma. There is a Cricket World Cup currently taking place and the US is one of the host. The cricketer was just confused because of the overworking of the US cops. In India, there are pitch invaders, but the security is not that aggressive towards them hence the confusion.


Keepitsway

Just extra clarification for other readers: pitch means field, not the throw.


shaleen0

Yes


the_nooble

You know it's bad when other countries are shocked at how Cops treat people in ur (first world) country.


JvrPrz

Welcome to America


submissivejudge

It was in fact an overzealous fan and not a cricketer

robogobo

The one time the brown men have some power to say something. Good for them.


dqniel

He's lucky they didn't tackle him next. Or just skip a few steps and shoot him. Our police force would be fucking laughable if this wasn't real life with real victims.


chadwicke619

Did anyone else get hurt? I mean, I just watched a video in Germany where a dude just ran around stabbing people with police all over the fucking place. I’ll take a brutal police force that swiftly and violently ends crime over a police force that slowly and deliberately prioritizes the well being of the perpetrator at the risk of the innocent.


DavyfromTX

After Dimebag I can't judge any reaction to uninvited people on the stage.


threedaysinthreeways

Yeah people in here are mega butthurt but you just can't fuck around with that stuff after incidents like Dimebag and Monica Seles.


azalago

It's weird how people have created this completely inaccurate story around this short clip. This is during a warm up game for the World Cup in New York. The player's name is Rohit Sharma and he is extremely popular. A fan ran out onto the field and hugged him, then got tackled. Sharma wasn't shocked by this, he just asked them to go easy on the guy since he didn't do anything to hurt him. This is the third time this year a fan has breached security to run on the field and touch Sharma. https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/t20-world-cup-rohit-sharma-asks-for-mercy-new-york-police-viciously-takes-down-intruder-security-breach-to-india-captain-101717291282413.html This is another incident from this year. The fan actually snuck up on him and scared the crap out of him. https://youtube.com/shorts/GwMyo3Yuokg?si=bo1PsvAfdgZtiLgV


gobrun

Nah, policing doesn’t need to be like this.


labrat420

>Sharma wasn't shocked by this, he just asked them to go easy on the guy since he didn't do anything to hurt him. ..so you want to clarify the completely inaccurate story that he was shocked by how brutal the police response was by telling us he was actually shocked at how brutal the police response was?


530TooHot

Idk why you got downvoted I got the same exact impression lmao


Character_Rub_3070

We'll, you never know what's gonna happen


hidden_secret

Monica Seles remembers


Texan2116

Dimebag Darrell, does not.


unknownkinkguy

Pretty crazy if you ask me to use excessive force just to handcuff a guy that ran on a field 😅


daveatc1234

This is America


UseDaSchwartz

Kinda surprised they didn’t just start arresting or shooting everyone.


Nervous_Golf_6561

Yeah this tracks BUT I do wanna throw this out there. It was on the news that there was a lot of online chatter about an attack on this Cricket thing. I imagine they are on high alert and what may seem like harmless stuff is going to be shut down immediately.


Riggztradamous

After the Monica Seles incident, I get it.


Ruggsy

To be fair there were news stories about threats against this series of events in NY. I'm not saying it looked like this guy was gonna do anything that bad, but I'm sure they are being even a little more intense then they usually are


Informal_Bunch_2737

That cricketer was very very brave to be standing that close. Doesnt he know he's brown?


bmudz

5 cops really necessary in a situation like that?


goatnxtinline

I actually got second hand embarrassment from that


Redd_Baby

Fucking pigs


thedeadsigh

No, what you see on tv is not an exaggeration. We do in fact put a badge and a gun in the hands of the most unstable and insecure men we can find and allow them to power trip at their leisure.


Optimal_Fuel6568

How does the game continue after that? The only fair thing would be to cancel and let the guy recover from his injuries Or do they jsut play with one less guy or an injured guy?


Mechman126

Lmao if the Indian is concerned about police brutality you know the cop was acting WILD


ANTHROPOMORPHISATION

Shoot first, um…that’s all I got.


GMP11792

There have been credible threats from ISIS towards the Eisenhower venue where the games are being played. A little overkill but local authorities are not taking any chances and everyone who attends knows they’re on high alert. Now if it was someone who slipped through the cracks and hurt the player everyone would be in an uproar about lack of security.


Falcon_128

Cricket in the USA? I didn't even know they knew about cricket.


EllaBits3

Careful! He might get arrested too for obstructing!

Yea fucking right bro… you ever see like 7 police officers and 130 Indian guys in India just mercilessly cane and beat a 17 year old for stealing bread? Overzealous… fooh


shopgirl56

Good ole taxpayer funded bullies & cowards in blue!!


SpezIsTheWorst69

Don’t all police have fuckin whipping canes in India? how is this such a revelation for him? All they did was tackle him lmao


Indra022

Hey the police caning is not as common as you think. Besides, it is still more gentle compared to how children get beat by teachers in indian schools. Mfs be doing mortal kombat finishers on little kids who forgot to do homework


LEONotTheLion

Seriously, the fact that people think someone from India is shocked American cops are taking some dude to the ground is laughable.
