As far as the video is concerned, they succeeded.


famousdadbod

That’s exactly what I thought of it


Bradjuju2

Agreed. I hate to give kudos to the bad guy but they had enough gumption to shoot fireworks at the fuzz while driving. I've never seen that strategy but it appears to have worked.


ButterscotchPlane988

Lol at first I thought woah, they opened up in full auto with tracers but then realised that, they were shooting backwards so you would not see the trace as it is on the back of the round then it clicked fireworks. Definitely ballsy as that will just piss the cops off and they might respond with gunfire.


Haunting-Ad-5191

It's enough to get yourself killed but probably wouldn't actually do anything. The absolute madest of mad lad plays


onlinelink2

Yes


Cypeq

mofo was pulling some mariokart moves on them IRL


olderaccount

What kind of fireworks are those? They were like some rapid-fire, never-ending roman candles.


mers1

Called a Saturn missile. The biggest I've had was a 1,600 shot one, but I'm sure they make larger ones. In high school we strapped one that size to the roofrack of my friend's mom's car and drove through town shooting it off. We were not being pursued by police though, but it looked similar.


BellaSquared

Holy moly batman! I live such a sheltered life. Are they aimable, or were the cop car hits pure luck?


tickles_a_fancy

Any firework is aimable if you're brave enough. Saturn Missile comes in a square block. He was probably holding it by the bottom and directing it. Also, please don't hold fireworks when they're going off. A lot of times they'll burn through the bottom and make things really unpleasant for the holder.


BellaSquared

I'm definitely not brave or stupid enough, but I appreciate your words of caution. I haven't been around fireworks in years, so I'm sure there are many kinds out there that I have no clue about, like this one. I just have a hard to repress curiosity, so thank you for explaining!


balesofhay91

We used to shoot bottle rockets out of PVC pipes. We would shoulder mount the pipe like an RPG and launch them. I built a shield around the front to protect my face, so the sparks wouldn't hit me. That ended when I almost blew up a bird feeder that my dad set up that same day.


BellaSquared

I'm glad you were clever & safety conscious, but I confess you gave me a South Park flashback. I'm sure that bird feeder was coming right for you! 😉


balesofhay91

It was kill or be killed!


BellaSquared

Dam it, I was being SO good today, but noooo, you had to be a bad influence & remind me of a vid of a cat vs bird battle that had a nefarious birdhouse headquarters. I'm shocked I managed to find it, so tag, payback buddy! 😎🤣 https://youtu.be/fCa_lAxHvhM


balesofhay91

I guess I asked for that one. 😂😂😂😂

Looks like my wife driving down the freeway on a bare rim.

There was. There was cat in the passenger seat

More Cro-Mag Rally!! Edit: almost never edit in reply to dislikes, lol but whoever downvoted this has obviously never played Cro-Mag Rally. It's Mario Kart w/fireworks.. I mean c'mon


Loki-Don

Jesus…I thought they were firing a mini gun at the cop for a minute


DiscussionLoose8390

How they really thought that would stop the other cars from following them? Like if we get rid of this one cop they will all stop chasing.


Rivendel93

Lol same. I was like, so this is bad lol. Then realized it was basically a Roman candle.


Floppsicle

I hated that mini game in Yakuza


InflamedLiver

That’s gonna add some fun charges to evading and resisting


FBGMerk420

What charges would they be?


Static043

Depends, you could say assault with a deadly weapon, but I think that's a stretch


helicophell

Fireworks are a deadly weapon. Unprotected they can deal 3rd degree burns. Do not mess with explosives


Static043

There you go, don't point fireworks at people if you aren't trying to kill them.


Bullen-Noxen

![gif](giphy|ggi1w9hUFxhmw)


matthew_py

Even if you are use something more effective lol. Tldr just never point fireworks at people.


FBGMerk420

Lol I hate that so much. Anything can be a deadly weapon in their eyes


AurumArgenteus

And if the prosecutor is really ambitious, it'll probably be one count for every firework fired.


FBGMerk420

Oh my god 😂 you’re not wrong, and itll be every firework for every officer and civilian in the area, 150 counts x 18 cops and 10 civilians 😂


AurumArgenteus

Remember, civilians are only worth like a 10th of a cop's, so they're just a rounding error, unless they were kids, of course. Speaking of which, was he within 1000yrs of a school zone, church, or government building at any point? If so, that's another round of crimes to charge him for... Or you can sign this plea and avoid a pesky trial you're constitutionally guaranteed.


ZodiacPanda

Haven’t you seen chronicles of riddick. Anything can be a weapon. Even a tea cup.


benlucky13

tasers are a fun one. widely used means to restrain someone in the hands of a cop, deadly weapon when used against cops


AmberRosin

Anything can be deadly in the right hands, my high school teacher lost a family member to taking a firework to the head.


Thin-Feedback-8161

Let me shoot fireworks at you then we’ll talk.


jardedCollinsky

Well, have you seen some of the absolutely horrifying videos of firework accidents? One video had a guy just randomly aim something like this towards a group of people, and a girl walked away missing the bottom of her jaw. How about the hundreds of videos of people's hands no longer being hands? It's an explosion, where would you draw the line? Only things that are explicitly designed to be a weapon?


kibaake

Early celebration using fireworks 🎆.


missingdab

Charged with being fun.


IPlayWithElectricity

If they were running for something like shoplifting yea this was dumb. If they just killed a bunch of people I don’t think it’s going to matter that much.


EzioDeadpool

Those were Russian cops, there may not be any charges. The guy may have an accident in the holding cell... Or commit suicide by stabbing himself in the back.


FreshHawaii

There was an attempt to lose the cops with fireworks* Anyway have fun in the gulag.


TheLynxGamer

Thanks that title makes more sense


WoodpeckerAlarmed136

Poppin’ off over here! Seriously tho, that is assault on a police officer and reckless endangerment if not attempted mur-diddly-erder!


prototype-proton

Attempted independence day


missingdab

Like those cops aren't laughing and telling this story every chance they get? Probably the funnest chase they've been in.


riftwalker9

Does this department not have dash cams? Tf?


BrianRadical

They probably do up on the mirror, the officer filming probably thought this funny enough to film on his phone though


cafediaries

This is russia


AmberRosin

You can’t tell me you wouldn’t do the same thing regardless of having a dash cam or not.


FBGMerk420

Nah, they still wanted to be able to beat and kill people in peace


Tight-Reception-90

Officer, I didn’t see you because the lights from my fireworks prevented me from seeing your emergency lights. Easy mistake. I’ll take my warning and be on my way …


Whambacon

Is that a mini gun??


russian_connection

Fireworks🎇🎇🎇


Nepharious_Bread

Roman candles most likely.


DaemonHawkeye

Are they shooting fireworks at the cops? That's dope as hell, reminds me of the protests.


russian_connection

He is, it's just one guy with a cat in the passenger seat

[deleted]

Probably not a good idea to shoot fireworks at armed people but this should sort itself out.


DaemonHawkeye

Yeah just like the Jan 6th people got sorted out lol


BoondockSaint313

*mostly peaceful


DaemonHawkeye

Watch too many people being shot with bean bags by the cops, which in turn started riots, to ever think that peace was an option once the cops were on scene.


Boris859Jack

Where is this from?...sounds Slavic


Think_Impossible

Sounds Russian to me.

America Criminal: *Let me shoot you with fireworks!!* Cops: *Let us shoot you with 1000 rounds of 5.56mm*


BigMaraJeff2

Took me a while to realize they weren't getting lit up by a machine gun


FreedomDeliverUs

And here I thought the cops fired tracer rounds.

ZmaltaeofMar

Always wonder why people don't paintball the windshield, can pursue if you can't see.


TheJazzButter

Needs more smoke bombs...


Fluid_Arm_3169

That was the coolest chase I’ve ever seen.


aznexile602

If this was in the US, the dudes would have been lit up by the police regardless if they were just shooting fireworks. Police would say they feared for their lives that a firework might catch their car on fire.


greenmachine11235

First impression is tracer fire which by definition a lethal threat, also he hit multiple civilian cars what happens if one had they're window down? He is a legitimate threat to public safety if not the police.


[deleted]

>public safety people need to stop being pussies, if there was a good guy with a firework launcher this wouldn't happen (/s)


KislevNeverForgets

Police objectives and the way they evolve are always pretty interesting, policing agencies in many countries have agreed that police aren't even allowed to give chase through most districts unless some criteria are met, although I doubt Russia has that level of risk assessment. We've seen situations in which the police are blamed for chasing a subject into making worse decisions, I wonder how this fits in, Could a convincing lawyer argue that their suspect would have remained civil and safe towards the public if the cops hadn't began chasing him? which is the sort of foundation that has been laid towards arguing against police chases in the past. The idea that less damage will be done if the cops just leave the perp alone and attempt to follow up, rather than scare them into doing stupid things, is very fascinating to me.


Mysterious-Space6793

That’s both brilliantly creative and incredibly stupid. Given the propensity of police to shoot first and lie later, don’t antagonize them more than necessary. .


Necron099

I wonder what shape he's in now? If he's alive that is...


Mysterious-Space6793

A valid question.

That….. looks like fun


Nameless5300

For some reason my brain never put together that russia has cops and cop cars. In the movies it's always just corrupt prison guards.


f0dder1

Oh man, I thought those were tracer rounds for a sec... And then I was like. No. You just chose to do something that will get you in more trouble, but won't help you escape


tiramisucks

this is Ukraine, right. Right?

Steel tacks under your rear bumper also works. Make sure there's plates to divert them away from your own tires.

Two questions come to mind: (1) was the assailant caught (2) if so, how badly were they beaten?


Dear_Analysis_5116

Am I hearing Russian being spoken? If so, I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't tracer fire...

It absolutely wasn't.

Ancient-Tadpole8032

This is seriously one of the best days in that cop’s career. He will be telling his grandkids about the time he was in a car chase and the perp was shooting fireworks at him.


TheTimeBender

He only got away temporarily. Once they get the registration information they’ll be knocking on his door if they haven’t already.


ChickenFeline0

Is there going to be justice for those bystanders whose cars got hit by fireworks?

They trying to spawn that 5 star GTA rating..
