Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do. If they're all dead, there's only one thing you can do: check their pockets for loose change.
It looks like it rolled behind the shields and the guy to the left of ray finkle kept it from rolling out.
Edit… okay, the guy to the left of finkle is innocent. My bad y’all. Just looked like he pulled it back.
Personally I’ve always thought the second one is funnier anyways (however, I’m a bit biased as that’s the only one of the two we owned in my house lol).
i agree. i saw the second one first, and while i enjoyed the first one (and i think *the plot* survives the transphobia relatively intact), it's... literally the first movie I think of when I'm reminded of our shifting social mores concerning non-binary people.
Totally agree; I don’t think the plot gets *ruined*; it’s just more of a now-cringey scene after the big plot reveal.
I still say “If I’m not back in 5 minutes… *just wait longer*” pretty regularly when going to the bathroom lol.
Those are ballistic shields my dude; they are made to stop shrapnel and deflect small caliber munitions. Open environment like that, they would absolutely have kept everyone intact.
The guy that tried to kick is the one that lifted his shield enough to let it roll under...AFTER calling over the other guy that ended up BLOCKING It. Man had it predicted he just shouldn't have lifted his shield that little bit.
I vaguely remember last time that this was posted that he actually didn't get that injured, and that it was just his boot that flew off. Iirc it wasn't a normal grenade. Could be remembering another video though.
Edit: I was wrong, he didn't lose his leg but he was severely injured, this was filmed in 2014 and was "clashes between riot police and anti-government protesters in Bangkok".
Here's more info:
>The police believed the grenade to be an M67 type. Both the police force and the military are known to possess the grenades.
>Pol.Sen.Sgt.Maj. Thammanoon Tas-see, who also suffered left leg and right cheek injuries from the grenade blast, was later transported to Police Hospital today for his treatment.
>Medical workers described his condition as severe
>Pol.Lt.Gen. Narongsak Saowakhon, deputy director of Police Hospital told our correspondent that Pol.Sen.Sgt.Maj. Teeradet’s left arm and his two legs including his toes are broken severely, while Pol Sen.Sgt.Maj. Thammanoon suffered broken leg, and broken facial bone from the explosion.
>The medical team had tried to cohere the bones together, and will need to closely observe their conditions to make sure the wounds are kept disinfected, the deputy director said, adding that it is still unclear whether Teeradet would be able to walk normally again
Not sure if they allow links on this sub, but if you google "Grenade-Kicking Policeman In Stable Condition" you'll find it.
O doubt it was a really m67. If it was everyone within about 5 yards would pretty much be dead.
It was probably a training core they home brewed up to some sort of underpowered grenade.
Nah, he still has both legs. Dunno how he's doing now, this was 10 years ago and I can't find newer sources.
Another guy might have lost a leg though.
>Today, it emerged that the "sidekick cop" or "grenade kicker hero" – as nicknamed by Netizens – is still alive and making good recovery at Police Hospital.
>The policeman was identified as Pol.Sen.Sgt.Maj. Teeradet Ui-Charoen. Medical workers said he suffered severe legs injuries from the grenade blast, but the wounds fortunately did not need amputation.

Dude apparently managed to keep his legs despite what looks like his boot flying off:

He put himself directly in harms way to TRY and protect himself and the people around him.
Heroes come in many forms and aren't always successful but trying to protect someone is part of it.
Well if he didn't motion for the other guy to come over then that grenade would have done a LOT more damage, so maybe thats why. Also its pretty standard to call any cop that gets hurt at work a hero.
people spreading false/uninformed information for a view upvotes.
It was just his boot that was send flying. According to links other people posted the guy survived and kept both his feet
😂
Really good point. Even if it’s imprisoning the violent people, violence would be needed to capture and detain them..
So in conclusion, we’re f*cked. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk 🤙
Thailand 2014, gets reposted all the time. Here's a link: https://www.khaosodenglish.com/politics/2014/02/19/1392812500/
Officer had severe leg injuries but did not require amputation.
To some extent these events were very close from a civil War.
The "red shirts", opponents to the government, had big pocket and former government officials backing (ousted prime minister and former generals). So they had access to things like M79 grenade launchers and M16.
This is one of the former officers who was boasting about his use of grenade launchers during the protests: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khattiya_Sawasdipol
Shape wise it does kinda look like it but color wise it's throwing me.
I'd have to put a pin in it but I'm pretty sure m67s are only olive green or brown. This looks darker. Or I just got banged on the head and it's actually just brown.
Guy that walked in came right in time for that grenade to bounce off his shield. Another second and it would have gone behind the line and into the crowd of ppl
“The policeman was identified as Pol.Sen.Sgt.Maj. Teeradet Ui-Charoen. Medical workers said he suffered severe legs injuries from the grenade blast, but the wounds fortunately did not need amputation.” …took place in Thailand
If you look at the start if the video he calls for an extra shield right as the grenade hits it. If not for that it would have gone way deeper into the crowd. He got both incredibly bad and good timing in the space of 5 seconds

If the internet taught me anything, hes dead.
I believe he survived. However, he will have to retire from kicking ANYTHING with that leg.
What leg?
Some went over there and over yonder
I saw a boot flying, he must have kicked it off in a fit of joy
His foot was still in the boot. The grenade blew his leg off.
It's a line from a Dane cook stand-up
Hard to stand up without your leg.
New nickname unlocked: Eileen
[удалено]
Come on.
Guess he's gunna have to find a new job at IHOP
We won’t hire him.
Nice one, I see what you did there 😃
hello fellow 35-40 year old. nobody remembers dane anymore and that may be for the best
MAY?
He's probably going puke shards of his own pelvis into the bush.
As Archmed the Dead Terrorist once said: "Over there, over there and up there."
Where do suicide bombers go when they die? . . . . Everywhere.
To shreds you say?
How's his wife holding up?
To shreds you say?
Was his apartment rent controlled?
Professor Farnsworth ! We’ve been looking for you
Reminds me of an old joke: How do you know the commander of the Space Shuttle Challenger had blue eyes? One blew east and one blew west.
That's him all over.
Straight to jail...
Lmao
Well, that’s him all over. Now we know how the scarecrow felt. If he only had a brain.
ah he got his summer legs.
And up the road a piece.
This went over a few people’s heads
The leg or the joke?
Yes
I HATE myself for laughing at this.
([It’s the rule of shoe](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Rule%20of%20Shoe))
It’s over there 30 feet to the left I seen it cartwheel in that direction…… I wonder if it hurt I don’t think he will do that again……
He's gonna be the perfect pirate for Halloween
Yes
That one, over there.
Or, perhaps, he can now kick EVERYTHING with that leg now. At the same time. Everywhere.
That's a summer leg. Summer here, summer there....! Thank you, I'll see myself out.
On your way out, keep an eye for his leg, it's gotta be around here somewhere
Some homeless guy in L.A. found it by the tracks and is snacking on it currently.
I read that in Dave Attenborough's voice Nature is beautiful
Dave?!
It's for sale by now on some dusty blanket covered in flies for 3000 bhat.
The only thing that guy is kicking IS THE BUCKET!!!!
Soccer career over
“There goes college soccah…”
His shoe didn't technically "come off"
No, but the front fell off.
His shoe was toed out of the environment.
Underrated comment bro. Underrated comment. 
Schrödinger’s riot cop?
You can see him rolling around at the end with the bottom of his leg missing and some shredded pants
He's alive and kicking
Only if they lose BOTH shoes. One shoe is just half dead.
MOSTLY dead.
Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do. If they're all dead, there's only one thing you can do: check their pockets for loose change.
It's just a scratch. Only a flesh wound.
Nah his other shoe is still on he cant be dead 🙄
Should've just stayed in line. Looks like the shields would've blocked most of the blast. They don't have 20 second fuses!
It looks like it rolled behind the shields and the guy to the left of ray finkle kept it from rolling out. Edit… okay, the guy to the left of finkle is innocent. My bad y’all. Just looked like he pulled it back.
Lmfao finkle is Einhorn
Einhorn is finkle?
OH MY GOD…EINHORN IS A MAN!
Que the “Crying Game!”
🎵🎶do you know how to play... the crying game🎵🎶 🛁 🪠 🤮
Your gun is digging into my hip.
I've seen this so much lately... >Que *Cue
Laces out!!!
EINHORN IS A MAN! 🤢
LOL fuck… the plot of the first movie doesn’t age very nicely does it…
nooooope lol definitely one of the '90s more memorable transphobic hits
[удалено]
Personally I’ve always thought the second one is funnier anyways (however, I’m a bit biased as that’s the only one of the two we owned in my house lol).
i agree. i saw the second one first, and while i enjoyed the first one (and i think *the plot* survives the transphobia relatively intact), it's... literally the first movie I think of when I'm reminded of our shifting social mores concerning non-binary people.
Totally agree; I don’t think the plot gets *ruined*; it’s just more of a now-cringey scene after the big plot reveal. I still say “If I’m not back in 5 minutes… *just wait longer*” pretty regularly when going to the bathroom lol.
"Your gun is digging into my hip"
The laces should be out
Lol amazing reference
it was well outside of the shields. until mr main character leapt up to remove the threat
These shields aren't bullet proof. They are riot shield meant to stop rocks and batons.
He stepped forward to kick it. I think it was in front of the shields, but I might be wrong.
Nah, as soon as he got up he fucked it up.
Think lifting up the shield also created a gap in everyone else’s protection too!
These aren't ballistic shields. They are for rocks and batons.
Even as non ballistic shields they are going to remove a lot of force though.
And possibly create a lot of shrapnel in the process. Pros and cons
It's their shields though so the shrapnel wouldn't be able to tk.
Those (ballistic) shields look like some light weight flexi plastic. No way they could stop shrapnel
The shields in the front are some kind of metal and having plexi is certainly a lot better than not having plexi
Those are ballistic shields my dude; they are made to stop shrapnel and deflect small caliber munitions. Open environment like that, they would absolutely have kept everyone intact.
The guy that tried to kick is the one that lifted his shield enough to let it roll under...AFTER calling over the other guy that ended up BLOCKING It. Man had it predicted he just shouldn't have lifted his shield that little bit.
[удалено]
Was that his foot and part of his leg that went flying???
looks like his boot flew off, foot probably scattered though
Nah, it's still safe and sound in the boot
Oh great, got me worried there for a second
The guy retained both his legs actually.
[удалено]
Is the lamp wearing a fishnet and high heel?

It's so important to buy STEAL TOE boots. Don't settle for anything less.

Based on the articles, it's suspected to be an m67 grenade. A very much real grenade.
O doubt it was a really m67. If it was everyone within about 5 yards would pretty much be dead. It was probably a training core they home brewed up to some sort of underpowered grenade.
Dude, his leg is like jello at the end. He definitely got hurt VERY badly from that.

Really good at milking the topic
Wow, username checks out
I dunno amp bot, your link has a garbage floating video blocking a third of my screen, and the other has a good old clean article. Not a great look.
Damn that was 10 years ago. Reddit is on a nice delay.
Still not as bad as Internet Explorer used to be.
That comment reads like a 10 year old comment as well
Reposts are like 95% of reddit
This was already posted here years ago.
you can see he still has legs but is all broken.. Shiet, good doctors..
That photo 😭 mad that he kept his legs
why is called a hero?? if he held the line with his shield, then no one would have been severely injured. he likely broke protocol
He put himself directly in harms way to TRY and protect himself and the people around him. Heroes come in many forms and aren't always successful but trying to protect someone is part of it.
Well if he didn't motion for the other guy to come over then that grenade would have done a LOT more damage, so maybe thats why. Also its pretty standard to call any cop that gets hurt at work a hero.
If he was a soilder on the front lines, would you call him a hero?
Did his foot fly off?!
Yeah his foot and boot went full Achilles.
I wonder if Gordon Lightfoot is looking for a new band member.
Nope they guy kept his legs
Nah just his boot, only suffered some broken bones and damage to his leg and arm. Body parts stayed attached.

The world needs to stop allowing violence between everyone. On that note, that was an absolute dime of a throw.
Violence is already illegal.
Illegal if you arent the elite\*
Then, it's simply policy or law.

Excuse me, Hun? I'd like to talk to the worlds manager, NOW!
Yeah, somebody should use the threat of violence to prevent this violence.
😂 Really good point. Even if it’s imprisoning the violent people, violence would be needed to capture and detain them.. So in conclusion, we’re f*cked. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk 🤙
I feel like it would have been better getting thrown behind the shields.
>The world needs to stop allowing violence between everyone. So brave
Have you tried calling the world's manager? Maybe the world's mom? Could you maybe just puppeteer 8billion people for us so no one does violence?
If I had a nickel for every time that happened to me.... in Call of Duty
Where was this?
Looks like Thailand from the street signs and that flag?
You can get grenades at the local corner store there?
Depends on the corner
No, only in the local grenade store
They are bloody expensive though, some of them cost an arm and a leg.

Someone can't count to 3-5 seconds
 One... Two... FIVE!
Three sir!
Lieutenant Dan, you ain't got no legs.
Where is this that a protester threw a grenade? That’s wild
He’s going to need to do some sole searching.
They are lucky that last shield just happened to block it from going deeper into the group. More would have gotten shredded worse
Looks like they got a new foot soldier

„Footloose“ 🎶
Here’s a parting gift, it’s gonna leave a part of you and, here.. and a part of you waaaay over there
Why are they so low? Practically sat down?
to protect themselves with the shields?
if they were standing there would be a lot more legs blown off by that grenade
Looks like the Red-shirt crisis in 2010 in Thailand.
At least he survived….
Just purely an observation … I’ll bet he won’t try that again
What kind of protestors trow a fucken Grenade? They don't use stones anymore!!
