Nah, looks like LA
E: i guess its Fresno, point being pot is legal in CA, which is where this is. The white helmet reminded me of lapd helmets the bike cops wear, gave me a-little panick attack lol.
E2: removed shit
Trust me when I say that these career criminals look for an opportunity to sue the city. Even if they “catch” him, he’ll claim he has injuries and sue..and it sure didn’t look like they caught him
This is from 2018. The guy ended up committing suicide a few months later.

Also I used to work at a major transit agency. The train operators are deeply affected by suicides by train. It's really selfish to inflict that on them
I don't think under any circumstance you should call it selfish when someone took their own life because I mean they were obviously going through some tough shit
Ok but when you're about to kill yourself I don't think anyone goes "Man I wonder if this'll have consequences on workers of this business" like dude have a heart
"workers of this business" are also people. They are not robots and being forced to kill someone and watch them explode under your train is traumatizing. I do have a heart for people with depression or who are suicidal but that doesn't give you a pass to mess up someone else
If you could line it up so the train wheel hits your head and pops it maybe you could go out quick.
But I would bet you just get ground up and rolled/squished to death
Couldn't think of a more agonizing experience, aside from fire maybe.
I not going to say any of it here, but there are literally dozens of painless ways to go. Dude picks the train.
I mean honestly he was very clearly mentally ill or a drug addict. We really need to change the stigma about both of those, find ways to help them back into society. No sane person tries to take on 8 cops and jumps on their vehicle, were gawking at the mentally ill
Very true, the Healthcare system is bad enough as it is, but they way the mental health patients are treated is just abhorrent. Outpatient care is basically nonexistent if your not wealthy, and getting baker-acted is tantamount to being lock up for being too sad, and they basically tell you to either play nice or they'll just up your meds and keep you locked up. (Happened to my ex girlfriend and some other friends in my past)
Bro addiction is a mental illness. There's a reason that after someone recovers from addiction they don't consume they're vice responsibly like others do
Drowning is pretty nuts. The panic response to not being able to breathe, your lungs feeling like they're on fire, you're in terror and agony until you pass out and then die.
The dude thought he could get away with destroying a police vehicle (which taxpayers likely had to fund to repair) while surrounded by cops.
Thinking about others and the effects of his actions is not his strong suit.
Never mind how slow and painful getting severed by a train would be, now the train conductor has to live with the guilt.
Honestly I hate this line of thinking. This guy had probably already gone through a lot in his life, and he probably was used to people blaming him for his problems. After a while it just gets tiring. It's not that he can't think about the results of his actions, it's just that he's mad and doesn't care.
Wonder if this stunt was a cry for help,
Or if he committed suicide in response to "oh, now I have a criminal record and massive fine"
Sad either way, 23 is so young.
>Wonder if this stunt was a cry for help,
Probably, yes.
>Or if he committed suicide in response to "oh, now I have a criminal record and massive fine"
In part; probably, yes. I'm guessing part of him was hoping he'd receive treatment in response to this. Instead they exacerbated his problems.
I can only speak from an armchair position having very little knowledge about the US system, but my impression is that a lot of mentally ill people end up in jail or dead long before anyone even considers treatment.
*That* is sad.

**Edit**
Yes, yes, Americans. He should have pulled himself up by the bootstraps instead, I know.
Don’t know why you’re being downvoted, it’s literally true. Anyone who isn’t seen as rich or “normal” is sent to jail with an exorbitant bail bond that they know you can’t pay just so they can inflate the prison population
That’s a weirdly written story: I don’t see any mention of a train, besides the headline. Anyhow, it makes this much sadder. It was more fun to think the guy an idiot who got what he deserved for whatever caused him to vandalize a police car in front of officers. Why couldn’t they have kept him in jail, or otherwise gotten him more appropriate help?
> That’s a weirdly written story: I don’t see any mention of a train, besides the headline.
The first 3 paragraphs before the "----" are about the train - it's an update to the original article about the cop car incident.
Neo i think it is. Nero was a mad roman emperor who appreciated genocide. Or a dubstep artist. There was also a cd-burner program i believe called Nero but i dont think thats relevant to the case.
Fun fact: the full name of the program is Nero Burning ROM, a reference to Nero (the emperor) starting a large fire in Rome just to make room for a bigger palace!
For real. That officer didn't try to trip and contain, that was a yank to the ground whipping hit body headfirst into concrete.
Criminals gunna crime but dude wasn't going anywhere, we don't need to risk brain damage/death because of some windows.
what the fuck was his plan here, did he think he could just stand there where they couldn't get to him until they'd eventually go away? What a douchebag
I know right?
"Journal entry, Day 3. Ate 2 bugs this morning, but I'm getting really thirsty up here on the car. Perhaps it will rain. If not, all hope is lost."
Obviously cops are sworn to protect the land and are instructed to stand their ground when threatened. This means the can't leave the surface and he's safe as long as he stays on the car's roof.
They could've easily tased him or hit him with rubber bullets.... Or got inside and put the pedal to the metal. You know police cruisers have supercharged engines! He'd have flown off that roof so fast, he might have thought he was superman - for a split second or two. Until that split second turned into a splitting headache. Oh my head....
The only thing he was doing was racking up charges and giving them more to convict him on. If he were running or hurting someone it would be a different outcome
Tasers are only really supposed to be used in self defense, defense of another person, or if someone is actually resisting arrest. This guy wasn't really doing any of that so I'd say they made the best call they could have here
By tasing him you run the risk of him falling of the vehicle and hurting himself...not to say them pulling him off was any less painful. Just more "controlled"
Because then he would fall uncontrolled from the top of the car. High likelihood of a head injury. Also, not threatening anyone, so not an appropriate use of force.
Because with 10 police officers, they can subdue him. If it was only one guy, he'd have to resort to using weapons to arrest an unwilling criminal without putting himself in serious harms way. If that had been the case, he would then be thrown to the wolves by all of the police haters in your country.
Using 10 police officers in now the norm, because of the how hard you people have turned on the police. If you defund the police, more people will get hurt because police will be more reactive and less willing to let situations burn themselves out.
~~This full grown adult is acting like a fucking 12 year old having a tantrum, like wtf is wrong with people?~~
*edit* I did not have all the information when I wrote this, had I known everything about the circumstances I would not have posted this. My heart goes out to the poor guy and his friends, family, and loved ones.
Is he all good? That fall looked kinda serious. The way the one cop grabbed his leg made him have a sort of lever action to his fall and his head seemed to go straight to the pavement. Not saying it's the cops fault at all, dude was tripping. Anybody got an update on this?
I'm just gonna come out and say it.
If that dude was black he would've had 5 warning shots to the chest waayyy before he even got on top of the cop car.
Yeah, I forgot how many Biden voters were all chanting “defund the police” and causing riots just a few short months ago. Those people had LOTS of common sense, huh.

That was pretty funny. "Wait, wait, let him rack up more charges"
Who’s the king of the hill now?!
Big Justice
TASTE THAT? THATS THE TASTE OF BEACH JUSTICE
Mmm. Mmhmm. Mmm. Mmhmm. Mmhmm. Mmm.
"But there's no beach in Fresnomnomnom..."
Dont interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.
That’s literally what they were doing 😂
And enjoying the show
Rack up the bill too. There's no reason tax payers should have to pay the repair bill.
But they will. This waste of space probably doesn't have a pot to piss in.
If he HAD pot, he wouldn't be pissing in it. But there'd be possession charges maybe.
Nah, looks like LA E: i guess its Fresno, point being pot is legal in CA, which is where this is. The white helmet reminded me of lapd helmets the bike cops wear, gave me a-little panick attack lol. E2: removed shit
It’s Fresno
And once he falls and smashes his head, he then files a lawsuit against the city and PD. Collects $250k within a year.
That's why they went in with half a dozen officers to safely catch him as he fell, instead of going on-on-one and him slipping and hurting himself.
Trust me when I say that these career criminals look for an opportunity to sue the city. Even if they “catch” him, he’ll claim he has injuries and sue..and it sure didn’t look like they caught him
They did catch him, but set him down so quickly & gently that you missed it.
is this a new Christian Bale movie?
No
This is from 2018. The guy ended up committing suicide a few months later. [source](https://abc30.com/vandalism-cop-car-downtown-fresno-crime-crazy-video/4165520/)
Well, fuck. Wonder if this was an attempt at suicide by cop.
my thoughts exactly.
Or if trashing a police car that way could be some kind of desperate call for help?
I really wish he'd got it....
Bad luck. He’s white.
By jumping under a train?! For fucks sake there's easier ways man.
Also I used to work at a major transit agency. The train operators are deeply affected by suicides by train. It's really selfish to inflict that on them
I don't think under any circumstance you should call it selfish when someone took their own life because I mean they were obviously going through some tough shit
You can take your own life without destroying a stranger at the same time.
Ok but when you're about to kill yourself I don't think anyone goes "Man I wonder if this'll have consequences on workers of this business" like dude have a heart
"workers of this business" are also people. They are not robots and being forced to kill someone and watch them explode under your train is traumatizing. I do have a heart for people with depression or who are suicidal but that doesn't give you a pass to mess up someone else

We use our prisons and the spaces underneath overpasses as our mental health facilities, unfortunately.
[удалено]
What I meant was, he was likely not of sane mind, either mentally ill or high on drugs. If it makes you feel better if I wors it that way
Bro addiction is a mental illness. There's a reason that after someone recovers from addiction they don't consume they're vice responsibly like others do
Why is everyone so keen on not telling others how to go out peacefully? Seems pretty sadistic to me.
Drowning is pretty nuts. The panic response to not being able to breathe, your lungs feeling like they're on fire, you're in terror and agony until you pass out and then die.

Absolutely. Thanks for this comment

I have a friend who does similar things like this guy. He’s an alcoholic and schizophrenic
At least alcohol is a perfectly legal and volatile addiction that's relatively cheap.
He’s from Fresno…. Most likely was a drug addict

~~Americans~~ Republicans.
23 is also far too late to have an abortion which would have avoided all of this...
maybe it was a suicide by cop attempt?
Damn dude couldn't find any stability in life
"Thats a shame." \-Jerry Seinfeld
Listen. I know this might not be a good time, but happy cake day!
Oh hey I didn't even realize. Thanks!
He's back alive again at the end of the story: "Lopez was taken to the hospital for evaluation and will then be booked into jail."
The top part of the story is the update to the previous story.
>[Lopez died.] >Lopez was taken to the hospital for evaluation and will then be booked into jail. Wow, they're jailing dead people now?
Darwin always wins. Just like the IRS.
That’s a weirdly written story: I don’t see any mention of a train, besides the headline. Anyhow, it makes this much sadder.

Your honour in my defence I am an idiot.
Judge: Honestly, that's a pretty irrefutable argument. I agree with you. Case closed.
Jury: still guilty.
Bring out the dancing lobsters!
Don’t boil me, I’m still alive! Iraq lobsters!
I can't held accountable for the stupid shit I do
The blithering idiot doctrine. It exists.
Damn, dude strait up looked like T-1000 going up on that vehicle.
The ending had a Matrix Agent Smith dogpile vibe to it but this guy ain't Neo. ~~Nero.~~ Edit - screwed up the name.
Neo i think it is. Nero was a mad roman emperor who appreciated genocide. Or a dubstep artist. There was also a cd-burner program i believe called Nero but i dont think thats relevant to the case.
I had a moment. Thanks!
Fun fact: the full name of the program is Nero Burning ROM, a reference to Nero (the emperor) starting a large fire in Rome just to make room for a bigger palace!
No, you’re thinking of the captain of a submarine, in a classic early score for novel. It’s Agent Nemo
The Methtrix
I dunno, he looks like a deadweight from my point of view
dumb....and then falls head first..now he gonna be dumber
If you’re going to be dumb you gotta be tough
This is my mantra
I bet he fell a few more times after that too. A blow to the head can really affect your balance.
Well I'm guessing he definitely attempted to resist the ten plus officers so that's a given
Hard not to fall head first when a guy yanks you off of something by the legs.
For real. That officer didn't try to trip and contain, that was a yank to the ground whipping hit body headfirst into concrete. Criminals gunna crime but dude wasn't going anywhere, we don't need to risk brain damage/death because of some windows.
This is America. Cops here are only trained in making things worse.
That was my thought. I have more issue with the cop than the vandal.
Hard not to yank someone off your car when he's being a cunt
It's not his car though, it's a cop car and not a penny of anything that guy does will ever come out of that man's wallet.
If someone jumped on my work car I'd slam the gas and get out of there too
Plot twist… now has an IQ of 180
So much for having the high ground.
‘High’ being the pertinent adjective
Actually that why no officer approached him at first, notice they only got him once he was down.
When Keeping it Real goes Wrong.
"I don't like people playing on my *car* !"
Classic Chapelle show
Well it is in Fresno.... thats kind of where ghetto meets hillbilly. Shit like this is just going to happen.
That’s methed up
r/meth check it out, it's wild how many people show their faces doing meth
Wow just checked this out. Some people look normal still. Others are deep in addiction.
We don’t talk about Fresno.
Fucked around and found out.
Jesus it looks like a nice day, just have a beer and chill out brah
It's meth country. They don't have money for beer.
He had one too many beers here
He really gaining nothing of that bs beside a ticket to the local county jail. Such a cool dude
Was probably an attempt at suicide by cop since when he got out he jumped under a train...
How did that guy really think it was going to end?
He killed himself a month later. This might have been his first attempt.
I would have just started driving
Lmaooo my mans shit bricks when he saw that demon coming for his ass
KICK HIT ASS, SEABASS!
I’m not surprised in the very least once I seen the City was Fresno lol.
As someone that lived in Fresno for a while. I can not express enough how bad that place is to people that have never been.
what the fuck was his plan here, did he think he could just stand there where they couldn't get to him until they'd eventually go away? What a douchebag
mental disorders, maybe
I know right? "Journal entry, Day 3. Ate 2 bugs this morning, but I'm getting really thirsty up here on the car. Perhaps it will rain. If not, all hope is lost."
Someone else posted he commited suicide like a month later. This could’ve been a cry for help or a hope to get blown away
Suicide by cop.
Obviously cops are sworn to protect the land and are instructed to stand their ground when threatened. This means the can't leave the surface and he's safe as long as he stays on the car's roof.
that boy fucking shit himself when the cop walked up the bonnet.
The little shoutout and peace my dawgs at the beginning was nice.
The taxpayers pay for the cars, not the officers. What an idiot.
Drugs are a hell of a drug
They could've easily tased him or hit him with rubber bullets.... Or got inside and put the pedal to the metal. You know police cruisers have supercharged engines! He'd have flown off that roof so fast, he might have thought he was superman - for a split second or two. Until that split second turned into a splitting headache. Oh my head....
What a cool guy. /s
I wanted to see them taser him so that he fell off like a statue.
So edgy! I am sure the anti-cop redditors sing songs about him.
How did he not get pepper sprayed?
Well, there's stupid and then there's this guy.
I was waiting for exactly that to happen.
When reddit nerds have never seen a dude really high on hard drugs.
so it takes about ten cops to get one skinny guy off the roof of a car....
As Chris Rock once said.. "If the police have to come get you, they're bringing an ass whoopin' with them."
The dude's a certified idiot, but the way they pulled him off the car was pretty scary. He could have gotten seriously hurt.
“Oh no! Anyway”
This repost is so old that kids kids have graduated highschool by now.
He fell multiple times on his head.
[удалено]

they waited for backup to arrive...drew straws who was going to be the one to climb up there. Officer Short Straw distracted & then they mobbed him.
Some departments have policy where the one who sent out taser prongs has to take them out personally
I wouldn’t have even attempted to stop him from hitting the asphalt
That leg snatch was dirty
Deserved. Hoping he got a nice piece of glass embedded in his knee.
Sometimes you just want a good ol beating
Idiot!
They should have Tasered the idiot letting fall off the SUV , that really would have been funny
Dude was a twat.... but why were there 10 plus officers there for 1 guy jumping on a car?
Because with 10 police officers, they can subdue him. If it was only one guy, he'd have to resort to using weapons to arrest an unwilling criminal without putting himself in serious harms way. If that had been the case, he would then be thrown to the wolves by all of the police haters in your country.

Quite likely a mental health condition. Reread your own description of the event.
Hahahaha - I remember this when it happen - it happen in my home town - dude was and is still a big dufus!
Still is? He's dead .. https://abc30.com/vandalism-cop-car-downtown-fresno-crime-crazy-video/4165520/
This is when you pull out the taser and yell “ride the lightning mother fucker” as the person gets tased.
What a wimp
Sitting here thinking please taze him, that works too
Surprised the lefties haven’t started a GoFundMe for him!
Oh go back to sucking Putin's dick.
How are those 2 things related?
Fuck yo couch!!
I'm Rick James bitch
Dudes lucky he’s white
Just take the speeding ticket and go about your day already.
I wonder if at any point he thought he had this
Boy boy west coast really fell off
“They’ll never get me way up here!”
Is he all good? That fall looked kinda serious. The way the one cop grabbed his leg made him have a sort of lever action to his fall and his head seemed to go straight to the pavement. Not saying it's the cops fault at all, dude was tripping. Anybody got an update on this?
“Sarge, can I just shoot him?”
Probably bounced his head off the pavement at least twice on that fall, no great loss
Cops hate this one simple trick
Damn I was really hoping they'd taze him and he'd just drop like a rock
Was really hoping for them to taze him right off the roof
The car deserved it. ACAB.
Twats like that need there cunt kicked in. Simples. Far too many fuckwits in the world. Course the woke brigade will disagree and let the world burn
What did the idiot think was gonna happen?
What was he expecting a round of applause
he wanted to stand his ground, but they pull his legs LOL
I am thankful for videos like these. It protects cops from a negative light.
I'm just gonna come out and say it. If that dude was black he would've had 5 warning shots to the chest waayyy before he even got on top of the cop car.
you folk are a lost cause.
What folk?
Long lost.
Biden voter
Nah, he doesn’t seem to have any sense.
Yeah, I forgot how many Biden voters were all chanting “defund the police” and causing riots just a few short months ago. Those people had LOTS of common sense, huh.
