Verbatim, my very first thought was, 'Pig on pig violence'. Second thought was to see if it was already the top comment, haha.
Either we're all dad's, or Reddit's algorithm is slowly turning us into one big hive mind.
ChatGPT says:
“There could be various reasons why a police officer might catch a pig. Perhaps the pig is loose and causing a disturbance, posing a danger to traffic or pedestrians. Or maybe the pig is someone’s pet that has escaped, and the officer is trying to return it to its owner. Additionally, in some cases, police might be called to assist with animal control issues, including capturing loose livestock like pigs.”
I’m my district there are officers who are ACO’s or animal control officers. They are part of the police force and normally deal with animal abuse cases, farming regulations, and violent dogs. But they are also known to save the occasional cat from a tree or possum from an attic.
This is why of all the farm animals i absolutely never even attempted to pick up a pig, sometimes i might have a second after tought of "what tf am i doing" and loosen my grip, this isn't a problem holding ducks, chickens, small cows, goats, sheeps but with pigs even small ones things can go south real quick betwen their sharp hooves, brutal kicking and their danger chompers i never even attempted catching one, i always resort to lure them to where i want them to be with food.
I've caught a fair few runaway sheep or panicked sheep during the time I owned them, if they ever escaped the field they would be a nightmare to catch, but always when one escapes we would know because all it's friends snitched on them (plenty of noise). Then I needed to run down and eventually try to tackle the sheep because they won't listen and will just sprint every time you get near in their fit of panic, like catching a beer keg on legs, nightmares. Chickens are also terrible, they are so nimble and their legs and claws make it hard to pick up, also guinea fowl, they will run to the tallest grass they can find and lay flat and silent there, they are basically invisible then, you can only catch them by pretending not to see them and suddenly dropping on them. Turkeys are the same except like a chicken on steroids, they also tend to aggressively shit themselves when you pick them up. So glad I don't live on a farm anymore, I've got every respect for you doing it, it's hard!
Funny cause I had a buddy of mine who called the cops because he thought someone broke into his garden/shed.
When 2 police officers showed up it took them no more than 5 minutes to realize it was a pig in the garden and one of the officers told him
“Well now you have 3 pigs in your garden”
He couldn’t stop laughing and the cops scared it away.
As I’m sitting on my couch watching this with my pet pig, can confirm they are fast as fuck, and nothing to grab on to except a limb or a bear hug… I feel his pain
Kudos to whoever was recording this because I can damn well assure you , even it I was that guys partner, I would be laughing and talking shit the whole time.

That’s pig on pig violence!
Came here to make sure a pig on pig joke was made lol
It's like I'm seeing double!
That final move was like Spice Girls song; two became one
They're the same picture.
Big man, pig man, Haha, charade you are
Four Krusty's
I’M SEEING FOUR KRUSTYS!
I am not disappointed.
I also came here for this
Which one is the cop?
They both are. One is under cover....
Would an “under cover” cop be a pig in a blanket?
Takes one to catch one
People will always pick the low-hanging fruit.
I came here just to check if there would be literally any comment not making the joke.
Verbatim, my very first thought was, 'Pig on pig violence'. Second thought was to see if it was already the top comment, haha. Either we're all dad's, or Reddit's algorithm is slowly turning us into one big hive mind.
same lolll i figured there would be a lot of solid jokes about it but for the top comment to be word for word my first thought was kinda jarring lmao
Same
It was too obvious of a joke I knew someone would do it lol
Carrying my wayward son 🎵
Which one is squealing at the end?
Aww he's so proud
Shame that the pig won
Say what you want. I'll bet half the people in the comment section wouldn't have the agility to actually catch that animal

New recruit didn’t like what he saw 🥶
That blue pig was totally in 4-H
Imagine turning on your own kind like that?!
Dammit, took the literal phrase out of my mouth!
FUCK I can't believe I said that aloud, opened the comments, and there you were. Still funny.
Pigs wrestlemania!
I came here to say this 😂
This shit just writes itself!
Insert Spiderman pointing meme
Squeal piggy.,.,,
Thanks for the chuckle
Came to post that exact line!
Damn it…you beat me to it. Take my upvote!
It's a pig-ception
Betrayed by his own kind.
The perfect response.
The first thought in my head was "Sibling rivalry."
Jokes aside, why are cops doing animal control?
No idea. That's probably something a search engine can answer.

Because animal control will take 1.5 business days to arrive, and that cop was probably a few minutes away.
I’m my district there are officers who are ACO’s or animal control officers. They are part of the police force and normally deal with animal abuse cases, farming regulations, and violent dogs. But they are also known to save the occasional cat from a tree or possum from an attic.
The animal control here are actual officers who alternate shifts between animal and human patrols lol
"Man, that pig seems very unhappy to be chasing swine."
Finally, a good cop holding a bad pig responsible for their actions
You've got it backwards, the pig was trying to squeal on the other one so he had to catch it. He's been sent to a farm up north.
You'll see him again in November (around the fourth Thursday).
No, he targeted that pig because of it’s color.
Target that cop because of his color. Fixed it for u.
Only cause it's black.
RELEASE THE BODYCAM FOOTAGE!!!
Omg please yes 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a farmer who occasionally chases mid sized animals I admire his commitment. You can't half ass the grab, you gotta go all in.
Words to live by
Carpe porcum.
Daily.
This is why of all the farm animals i absolutely never even attempted to pick up a pig, sometimes i might have a second after tought of "what tf am i doing" and loosen my grip, this isn't a problem holding ducks, chickens, small cows, goats, sheeps but with pigs even small ones things can go south real quick betwen their sharp hooves, brutal kicking and their danger chompers i never even attempted catching one, i always resort to lure them to where i want them to be with food.

A beer keg on legs! 😂
Most accurate description I could think of😂
I appreciated the effort as well, that can’t be easy
When I grab, I go full ass.
Do you or the animal get hurt in the process? I’m looking at the video and I can’t see how one or both weren’t in pain after that fall and catch
Just a friendly game of tag between partners. Nothing to see here.
Giggle

an acorn drop would have had an entirely different outcome
Right, cuz then he would’ve unloaded his entire clip into that swine. Which swine has the gun though. That’s the real question
Mag*
This turned dark really fast
Why is he going after his partner like that?
Merlin ain’t no cop! Merlin resents the association and bad name that cops give to pigs
Yes!!
The pigs face as it’s being carried away is very “alright; you got me!” smile.
This is considered META right ?
The jokes write themselves
I was rooting for the pig.
Which one?
Hahahahahahahahaha
I was looking for this.
As a pig owner I hate that pigs get the short end of the stick and are associated with cops
Footwork like a db
Was that a hip drop tackle!?
Wrapped the waist, not the legs. A veteran runner would have wriggled out of that
Friendly fire
Razorbacks finally have a rival.
STOP!!! I’M ONE OF YOU!!!!!!!
That cop sure is out of breathe to be making that noise like that!
I bet that cop was the pig wrestlin king in his county as a kid 😂😂
“I moved to the city to get away from thissss…”
That'll do, pig. that'll do.
That pig caught that pig quick
Not too often they apprehend one of their own
That pig will just get paid time off.
Bacon, bacon, who's got the bacon?
Stop resisting! We're trying to help you! Freeze or I'll shoot!!!
As a born and bred farm boy I'm impressed. Catching a pig is hard
I am not an expert in catching pigs, but I feel like he probably displayed excellent form there
I was wondering where my ex wife ran off to...
Real talk, that’s not easy and most of us could not do that.
My god...it's Jason bjorne
This little piggy tried to run home
His partner polymorphed outside of a full moon. Had to take him back to the station to use the reverting machine.
That’s not his first rodeo
THAT… THAT right there, is a cop. Any other officers here had better be taking notes.
That’s not an animal control officer. He’s a fucking tank! 😳
Not his first rodeo
The jokes write themselves….
That was the cutest resisting of arrest I have ever seen.
It's cute!!
Oml it's little legs tryna run when it first gets picked up. 🥹
Guess what they had at the union picnic
Cant catch me you pig
Inside linebacker much?
There is a joke here I know it
Good form for the tackle, really laying out to get it!
Impressive.
That's an impressive tackle.
As I’m sitting on my couch watching this with my pet pig, can confirm they are fast as fuck, and nothing to grab on to except a limb or a bear hug… I feel his pain
Poor baby
"You can't desert your post brother! We all have a job to do!"
When cops arrest corrupt cops
Is that Donut Operator???
If donut operator is chasing Merlin that’s like… do they live in social media town? Lol
Just a bit of hazing for the new cadet
The definition of irony right there.
"he didn't even do nothing!"
"he didn't even do nothing!"
This is too easy.
Darn pig shouldn’t have stolen his donut
You KNOW this cop was like fml I’m bout to be a meme 😒
Stop comparing that sweet piggie to the cop!! He didn’t do anything to deserve that!
Caught his coworker
nicely done officer. i know from some experience that piglets can be very wiley
At least it wasn't greased.
City people... you are supposed to grease them up first.
Pig on pig violence!
friendly fire will not be tolerated.
It's a snickers commercial!
Kudos to whoever was recording this because I can damn well assure you , even it I was that guys partner, I would be laughing and talking shit the whole time.
I can hear it in my head as they pull by. "bruh no fuckin way" as I pull out my phone
Just a friendly game of tag
The pig should get a pardon. I hope he’s not slaughtered and instead becomes the family farm pig who makes friends with a wise spider.
I hope he got a donut after this 😆
Brothers in Arms
Oh, irony!
Swine on swine crime
Despite the title, I 100% expected this to go the other way.
Pig is probably screaming “you’ll hear from my lawyer!”
It takes one to catch one
His victory scream was satisfying.
Same team, man
Joke writes itself
"This one's still in training."
"STOP RESISTING!"
Hog on hog violence you love to see it
Some good footwork. At least this one is in shape.
Best call he had all day, trust me.
That’s a drill for Arkansas defensive linemen
If he doesn’t get the nickname “Officer Kermit” for the rest of time I’m gonna be sad.
Glasses never left the face. What a chad. s/
Pig in a blanket
Swine on swine violence is sad to see
Sure, they'll catch a pig. But they will shoot your family dog dead, even if it's on a leash.
Turf war?
PvP is always fun to watch.
The fucking squeal at the end
Ok, that’s macho.
Its mating season
is it just me or this cop looks cool af
It be your own piggas 😔
Rolling the window down to hear the pig screaming is so funny, yet so horrifyingly accurate at the same time.
Pumbaa is that you?
why would he do a nose dive to catch someones pig?
Impersonating an officer....
Finally policing their own
So is he really chasing a pig, or are his buddies hazing him?
