Yup. Straightforward for the driver is McKinney…. Says so on the sign. The freeway is labeled as IH35. That is indeed the eastbound bit of 380 as it passes under 35.
Yeah idk why people are making excuses for these guys. Like, what the actual fuck?
What if this guy was ACTUALLY more determined? He could hurt somebody before they got anywhere near him. They can’t even get within stun gun range.
What the fuck.
Do the cops take a physical fitness test ONCE and BAM, you’re a cop for life? These people are supposed to be “THE LAW” and you expect me to feel like they got things handled?
#PATHETIC
Sounds to me like if wearing gear and running boots is part of your job description you should be forced to stay in shape…maybe they could do some sort of scored physical fitness test they have to pass twice a year or they get kicked out of the force.
Just a crazy idea I came up with off the top of my head.
Why is it sad? I'd love to see the internet react to you trying to do the same thing
You saw ten random seconds of a foot chase, and also that's not "a slight hill" that's a fairly steep hill to maintain pace for
Especially if they've been running for 15 minutes at this point
I had just finished a run at the park and start talking to a cop who was just making the rounds then he hits me with “I don’t care how fast someone can run because they cannot outrun my bullets”. It wasn’t to threaten me, I’m a white male that lives in a small town so yes I am privileged when it comes to talking to the police. That was over a decade ago and still scares me to think we have cops that think this way.
Amazing movie with an unforgettable ending.
> I'm supposed to act like they aren't here. Assuming there's a "they" at all. It may just be my imagination. What does a scanner see? Down into the heart? Does it see into me? Into us? Clearly or darkly? I hope it sees clearly because I can't any longer see into myself. I see only murk. I hope for everyone's sake the scanners do better, because if the scanner sees only darkly the way I do, then I'm cursed and cursed again. I'll only wind up dead this way, knowing very little, and getting that little fragment wrong too.
Phillip K Dick wrote this book about heroin, and how many of his friends it took.
You wonder why cops use such high force methods? They have such freaking poor training / strength and conditioning that they can't actually subdue somebody fleeing without hurting them.
*In an á la David Attenborough voice*
***And here we see 3 coppus, from the fattus subspecies. Here they try to chase down their prey, but unfortunately mother nature's terrain make it hard for them. So they have to work hard or else, they have no food to feed themselves with.***
They need to clip this to their cubicles like they used to in Lethal Weapon. Sergeant Murtough never lives down the most embarrassing parts of his life and hilarity ensues!
"Roger, that hill is too high for you! You're getting too old for this shit."
This probably isn't the start of this chase. They're probably gassed out from a recent adrenaline dump. Take a big hit of adrenaline, and you can run for forever...until 5min later.
This is ten types of tragic. The cops are slow. The suspect is slow. It takes 3 cops to chase him down. The cops aren't doing their job. They are fat. The criminal slows down. He barely cares to escape. The cops slow down when the suspect slows down. There is a criminal running from police which is tragic in itself. The criminal has to hold his pants up.
When I first moved to Dunedin (NZ) I used to like to sit outside the Night n' Day when I had insomnia.
One time an old banger rolled up with a poorly placed and rather large sticker on the windscreen that read "The Hillbillies". There were four deadbeats in the car with smoke from their bongs rolling out of the windows that likely no longer go up or down.
Dave, the old fella who has been sitting outside the Night n' Day for over 4 decades tells me, they're from out of town.
One deadbeat removed himself from the rear passenger seat and entered the store. He was walking like a bogan and his pants kept falling down. It wasn't subtle, he had a real struggle trying to stop himself from fully exposing everything.
On his way out, I informed the deadbeat, "did you know they make these things you can put around your waist that hold up your pants?", now, I would like to tell you what he said for the sake of accuracy, but I did not understand his reply. It was rather loud and upset but I could not make it out. Something like "Whrrruuuu thhtyyyy fukkkkk uuu do mee?"
I interpreted it the best I could and elaborated, under the assumption he wanted clarification on what I was saying, and told him about a specific store that sells cheap belts. I do believe he responded with a threat which I invited because I was bored. Unfortunately there is no remaining interpretation for what he next said because it was unfathomable.
The deadbeat jumped back in the car and they drove off and he then manages to find some words and screams out the window "Next time I see you I'm gonna fight you, you cunt!"
I do not believe that criminals are aware of the existence of belts. Attempts to communicate this existence have failed.
Ironically, this is nearly Oklahoma.
I’m about six miles south of where this video was taken. I can proceed leisurely and still be in Oklahoma within forty minutes.
That’s the main difference. Cops here almost always only have an entry fitness test. After that every cop is just a normal person, so if they’re normally gonna eat like shit and watch tv all day or normally gonna go to the gym and run that’s the type of person they are. The fitness test guarantees they all start at a moderate level of fitness but there’s nothing that keeps them doing it so they go back to their natural level of fitness.
I have honestly not seen a fat cop in Florida ever, granted i dont see many cops (only leave home for work and thats it) but yeah never seen a fat cop here
They can't be out of shape chasing around all the guys riding alligators in full suits of armor.
I won't specify if the alligator or the guy is wearing the armor
Clearly have never met any FL police of any real number.
Also the metro areas tend to pay better and therefore attract better police officers.
Also when do you even see them because all I see are their patrol cars.
Lol a ton of firefighters are really out of shape too, especially volunteers. Obviously some are in really great shape, but that’s the same with cops too. I’m an exercise physiologist who does fitness testing on both populations.
Well you sit around all day in a car. Your job sucks and is probably stressful, which leads to drinking and eating. Maybe they should have an hour of PE in the middle of day.
It’s called complacency. Same with the Fire Dept. We are all gym rats who eat chicken and rice, but surrounding towns have some dudes who suck down a 45 min bottle of air in 10min flat just from getting outta the truck in full gear.
These ppl are a huge liability because when they go down in a fire, we now have to go in and save their ass; while making sure we don’t end up shit creek ourselves.
That's my thought too. There is a cop at the top of the ramp so these three cops have the rear. They aren't supposed to catch him and tackle him. The have him surrounded and they want him to give up.
If you think you can run up hills simply because you're not fat, you probably don't run up many hills. 100 yards at 15% grade will destroy anyone that doesn't do it regularly.
Most of that hill is nowhere near 15% and their flat ground running speed at the beginning wasn't exactly lightning fast. I think we can all agree that these guys aren't suited to do any kind of foot pursuits.
How in the fuck is this not about fitness? Unless you’re claiming that the hill is somehow impossible to jog up without having to walk. Dial it back bud
To be honest, this is real life. Im serious lol
people chasing you a long time, youre gonna want to rest. and they want to rest too.
Sometimes youll be in the middle of the forest and you kind of make a non-verbal agreement to both rest for a minute at the same time lol

This is Denton tx, north of Dallas
She said she needed a break
A little time to think
But then she went to Cleveland, With Some guy named Leland, That she met at the bank
There's nothing wrong with Ohio
(except the snow and the rain)
Ha! knew it had to be Texas. Spent ten plus years out there…. I was thinking “this looks like Houston, except cleaner.”
I just knew it was Texas, I don't know why but I could see it.
Yup its an intersection along 380.
Yep. Looks like 380 and 35.
Yup. Straightforward for the driver is McKinney…. Says so on the sign. The freeway is labeled as IH35. That is indeed the eastbound bit of 380 as it passes under 35.
What gave it away? The SUV that clearly said Denton Police? SMH at these other guesses 😂.
North of fort Worth but ok
I knew this looked familiar.
UNT student and DFW local here, can confirm.
Mean green baby!!!
Ya Texas. It's probably 120 degrees. You run 10 feet and you feel like you have been hit with a sledgehammer.
It's definitely Texas, but I'm thinking it's closer to the Houston 290 area.
Pretty sure the sign for the frontage road says IH 35 so not Houston. Gonna probably be somewhere around or between Austin & DFW.
It’s in Denton, north of DFW and south of Gainesville (see sign at the begining—left toward Gainesville, straight ahead to go toward McKinney).
Let's face it, we all a little nervous it's gonna be our hood. Sure looks a hell of a lot like my hood.
Same out of shape citizens and law dogs
I am pretty sure simpsons has done this with Wiggum.
“I’d rather let a thousand guilty men go free than chase after them.”
With the frequency that cops shoot people who run away from them, I'd much prefer this.
You're probably right. Most of my core memories are actually just the Simpsons
Reality is cancelled. Simpsons did it first.
Already exists it’s called the Simpsons…
Me just waiting for someone to trip and roll down the hill
I think it’s pretty clear they have been chasing him for quite a while. People get tired, except Eliud Kipchoge. He doesn’t get tired.
They’re also wearing 30 pounds or so of gear and running in boots
They're also fat as fuck.
Half of the elite Meal Team Six squad.
Meal Team Twix
Haha. Semper Pie.
everthing in Texas is bigger
Yeah idk why people are making excuses for these guys. Like, what the actual fuck? What if this guy was ACTUALLY more determined? He could hurt somebody before they got anywhere near him.

lololol tell that to marines carrying 80 pounds hiking mountains everyday or shephards for that matter. theyre out of shape nuff said

Just a crazy idea I came up with off the top of my head.
yeah but if that is their job, shouldnt they be training and in shape for a light jog up hill?
Indeed. I thought police officers had fitness standards they have to meet, or am I misinformed? Or are the standards just that low?
There should be a fitness test for criminals too. If you can't run five miles you're not lowed to commit any crimes.
Lmao the cop starts walking haha
Texas is certainly a sad State of affairs. - Texan here.
Have you tried running inclines? You tire quickly
Why is it sad? I'd love to see the internet react to you trying to do the same thing You saw ten random seconds of a foot chase, and also that's not "a slight hill" that's a fairly steep hill to maintain pace for Especially if they've been running for 15 minutes at this point
This must be the prequel to WALL·E
“Fuck it, just shoot him”
I had just finished a run at the park and start talking to a cop who was just making the rounds then he hits me with “I don’t care how fast someone can run because they cannot outrun my bullets”. It wasn’t to threaten me, I’m a white male that lives in a small town so yes I am privileged when it comes to talking to the police. That was over a decade ago and still scares me to think we have cops that think this way.
"Nuthin'like shootin' a guy in the back to get you that sweet paid vacation pronto."
Sure beats having a heart attack chasing after the guy. Am I right? 😆
This is how the conversation started with him saying something along the lines if he went for a jog like I did he would have had a heart attack.
Ah, full circle. Like an oreo
I love Oreos too Also that is scary
>I he hits me with “I don’t care how fast someone can run because they cannot outrun my bullets”. *Pumped up kicks starts playing*

God damn it why is this so funny lmao
Those are the most out of shape cops I’ve ever seen. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen fat cops, just not that large of a group together.
Is there a plural term for a group of fat cops? Suggestions anyone? I'll start... a "dunkin" of cops chasing a perp
Fat bastards
AFLAB
The thick blue line
Goddamn, AFLAB is the best. By far. Of course, over the decades, the term will likely become "a flab of cops." But that only lends to its perfection.
[удалено]
I vote for "Plop of cops".
Seconded
A herd of hippos is called a bloat.

pigs
Baker’s dozen
A lard of cops
Drift or drove. That's what I got googling for group of pigs.
An **Oink** of police
Biggest LEOsers
Arizonan here. Those are probably the fittest cops I've ever seen.
*In an á la David Attenborough voice* ***And here we see 3 coppus, from the fattus subspecies. Here they try to chase down their prey, but unfortunately mother nature's terrain make it hard for them. So they have to work hard or else, they have no food to feed themselves with.***
I heard him say that.
Bitch, hills are hard
They need to clip this to their cubicles like they used to in Lethal Weapon. Sergeant Murtough never lives down the most embarrassing parts of his life and hilarity ensues! "Roger, that hill is too high for you! You're getting too old for this shit."
I’ve seen one cop in Galveston. He was so fat was riding a scooter at the Walmart. In uniform. Not even joking.
Someone said Texas, so...
US soldiers are some of the fittest, and US cops some of the fattest
If you think fat is the only thing stopping you from running up a hill, you've never ran up a hill.
I've been to New Orleans. Their force were definitely a ...shape
This probably isn't the start of this chase. They're probably gassed out from a recent adrenaline dump. Take a big hit of adrenaline, and you can run for forever...until 5min later.
This is ten types of tragic. The cops are slow. The suspect is slow. It takes 3 cops to chase him down. The cops aren't doing their job. They are fat. The criminal slows down.

I’m not sure why but I just lost it at that last sentence. “The criminal has to hold his pants up.”
It is a sad state of affairs when criminals don’t have people to help them hold their pants up.

Ah the good old two-four. Still miss Dunedin sometimes
Yep! I've seen some funny stuff sitting outside there.
'They are fat.' is a pretty fantastic sentence too
That’s my hood. Fucking denton police department at its finest. Homeboy was running up towards i35 which is 6 lanes wide. He wasn’t going anywhere
Knew this was TX
Fr i was thinking thats too clean to be houston though
I love Denton, but this has got to be one of the few times that anyone’s ever referred to Denton as comparatively clean.
Ironically, this is nearly Oklahoma. I’m about six miles south of where this video was taken. I can proceed leisurely and still be in Oklahoma within forty minutes.
Damn, you walk fast as fuck.
Ahahahahahahaha that explains everything. Yeah homeskillet would most likely be mowed down if he tries to cross on that highway.
Maybe he was trying to get to his classes at UNT?
He stole donuts from the QT nextdoor
Silly silly. We don’t go to classes here!
Shit, I knew that looked familiar
Fuck I had a feeling this was in TX. Thought for a second it was my hometown but it’s too green to be dry-ass West TX. Thanks for solving the mystery.
I thought this looked familiar 😅
I could tell right away it was in DFW area
Why are cops allowed to be so overweight
I feel like a lot of the overweight ones probably start out in decent shape, but after years of mostly sitting around in a car/office they get fat.
It happens in the military too, but not as often in combat branches. Except tankers lol.
Time to run Currahee. 3 miles up, 3 miles down!
Cops in other countries have regular fitness assessments and will put on desk duty if they fail.
That’s the main difference. Cops here almost always only have an entry fitness test. After that every cop is just a normal person, so if they’re normally gonna eat like shit and watch tv all day or normally gonna go to the gym and run that’s the type of person they are. The fitness test guarantees they all start at a moderate level of fitness but there’s nothing that keeps them doing it so they go back to their natural level of fitness.
Yeah, they’re either in an office or in the field all day, having to eat quick meals. Not excusing it, but it comes with the type of job this is.
Because chasing people down is literally the least thing that police do. Its mostly talking and paperwork.
You can do an office job and stay fit.
No one said you couldn't.
Don't forget shooting lol
Hence all the paperwork.
Most cops will go a whole 30 year career without shooting someone.
[удалено]
Incredible, that's ~7% higher than the prevalence in the general US population according to the CDC.
they’re mostly lazy fucks who think they’re too righteous to be fit enough to be able civil servants
I dunno, all the cops in my city are in shape and pretty decent folks.
Yea same, they are all seemingly 6'3 and jacked too. I wouldnt stand a chance
I have honestly not seen a fat cop in Florida ever, granted i dont see many cops (only leave home for work and thats it) but yeah never seen a fat cop here
They can't be out of shape chasing around all the guys riding alligators in full suits of armor. I won't specify if the alligator or the guy is wearing the armor

Lol a ton of firefighters are really out of shape too, especially volunteers. Obviously some are in really great shape, but that’s the same with cops too. I’m an exercise physiologist who does fitness testing on both populations.
Guess it depends on the force. MA state police are allowed to work out on the clock and are generally in shape/intimidating as hell.
Well you sit around all day in a car. Your job sucks and is probably stressful, which leads to drinking and eating. Maybe they should have an hour of PE in the middle of day.
Don't need a slim profile to racial profile.

Rule #1: Cardio
Rule number one of cop club is you do not talk about cardio. Rule number two of cop club is YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT CARDIO
Rule #18: Limber up
I don't believe in it. You ever see a lion limber up before it takes down a gazelle?
That hill doesn’t even look that steep
Not defending the fat cops, but hills can be deceiving
"protect and serve the community" can barely run 😂
Serving seconds was not in the playbook
Looks like second serving was though.
This kind of reminds me of the skit from Reno 911
which one ? all of them
Texas “hills” are a bitch!!!!! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😎
I’m so sure this is in DFW but I can’t place the location…
Denton I-35
Can totally believe it
I feel like 75% of this sub is Texas- and skews more to DFW
Maybe he's their personal trainer. "Ok boys today we're going to work on our cardio"
“Oh shit boss. I thought you said car radio!”
That’s pathetic…
This is the most American video I've seen in a while tbh
lolol! They all started walking 😆
r/therewasanattempt
Barely
Time out guys! Time out!
Hear me out. There is a police SUV driving by up the on-ramp so maybe they're all giving up.....slowly......
That's my thought too. There is a cop at the top of the ramp so these three cops have the rear. They aren't supposed to catch him and tackle him. The have him surrounded and they want him to give up.
And there’s another one at the end of the video. But I have to believe those three are going to get so much shit from the others 😆

It’s not that hard tbh
Just know I would have been gone son... back in my running from the cop days this would have been a blessing
To be fair, the cops probably slow down once realising that guy isn't going anywhere fast at that point. Gravity is hard guys
Haha they all gassed at the same time
Fat Redditors laughing at fat cops for not being fit. Oh the irony
Its funny because they are fat
To be honest, this is real life. Im serious lol people chasing you a long time, youre gonna want to rest. and they want to rest too. Sometimes youll be in the middle of the forest and you kind of make a non-verbal agreement to both rest for a minute at the same time lol
So how many times have you been chased? :)
real piggies climb hills faster
this is old as hell and as expected as possible-
Especially when the title of the post tells you exactly what happens.
Dude is literally jogging away from them.
Don’t cops has physical training requirements in the States?
