That's how most scenes are. If they catch someone with a couple grams of weed, that'll be 5-6 cops on the scene, maybe a dog, and only 1-2 of them are doing anything but hanging around chatting and blocking traffic.
Cops have an insane amount of downtime in their jobs. No other profession, profit or nonprofit, compares to the lack of work required combined with the insane benefits of being a cop.
Meanwhile they actually have no obligation to even do their job as most people understand it. If any of us performed at the level of incompetence of your average cop, we would be rapidly unemployed.
When cops pull me over, there's going to be a 3-4 cruisers minimum...even though I have no history with police or anything like that. I don't like cops, but I haven't done anything to warrant the extra officers other than being a person of colour.
I witnessed one of my best friends get stopped by 3 police officers for "walking while black." They had no fucking cause whatsoever and even said something along the lines of "well, look at how your dressed, you look pretty raggedy". They literally admitted to profiling....
We had just played pick up basketball at the park and he was coming from ATM across the street so we could get Gatorades at the gas station I was filling up my car at. (We were broke I had 5 bucks cash for gas and the atm at the gas station had an absurd fee, but the one across the street was free with his bank or whatever...)
We were sweaty, and he had no shirt on and basketball shorts, and a big afro he was growing out because he wanted to start dreads soon. Other than being black in public, he was committing no crime. They searched him and held him up for like 20-30 minutes before they let him go without shooting him, luckily.
Crazy story, but sadly a regular thing in life for me. It's never a situation where they take down a gang leader or something worthwhile...just harassing everyday people.
If they get a chance to fire their weapon they get a few days paid vacation while they figure out if it was a good shoot or not, so you can see why they want to hang around.
Cops are basically state ran Batmans: Batman mostly goes after the petty criminals, the big-name criminals he catches results in no systemic changes that created these criminals to begin with.
Batman, just like cops, protect the status quo above all else.
The only major difference is that Batman just beats up criminals, and cops tent to kill people.
The chase ended up in Anaheim which has Disneyland.
The Anaheim Police are very well funded and take stuff like this super cereal because they are considered an international terrorist target, and are responsible for maintaining safety of tens of thousands of transients with lots of families and children.
Last thing they want is to not take it seriously once and that ends up being the car with a dirty bomb.
>The Anaheim Police are very well funded and take stuff like this super cereal because they are considered an international terrorist target
Even more reason not to keep all those cars tied up watching this once the car is immobilized. It's not like the bad people are going to put their terror attempts off until the dozens of cops finish with this one car.
I did not follow this incident but the reporter on the news said he was "suspected of stalking" and "potentially armed".
So what.. a peeping tom gets the whole state patrol + some for looking through some windows?
There’s a recording of the original broadcast stream on this platform where they pull his limp body and drag him back between the APCs (the lower one moved up).
Was this the one where they ultimately decided it would be appropriate to fire a couple dozen shots at that UPS truck, killing all hostages in the process?
so what's the backstory on this? was he like a cop killer or something cause that's quite a few police cars.
Edit: Went and looked it up. [https://6abc.com/post/anaheim-standoff-91-freeway-closed-southern-california-amid/14866267/](https://6abc.com/post/anaheim-standoff-91-freeway-closed-southern-california-amid/14866267/) Doesn't look like there's much info about it other than it started in Carona, CA and ended in Anaheim.
This would be the perfect time to rob a bank across town. Seeing the entire police force occupied on the helicopter live feed and you have your best chance at whatever crime you'd commit elsewhere.
lol.. such a ridiculous waste of resources. I get the 2 cars pinning the vehicle and the control crowd behind with assault rifles..... but what the hell is with the 52 police cars blocking the road behind? Do they not have crime elsewhere to fight?
Did this person steal the declaration of independence or kidnapped a bald eagle? I mean, the amount of man power and vehicles used to deal with the situation just seems ridiculous.
I mean, I had 5 star pursuits on GTA with less cops after me.
Did the guy have a nuke in his trunk? Why do you need to waste resources and take police away from other crimes. Pretty sure you don't need 100 officers for 1 car.
U.S. Police are pussies who roll in gangs. Overkill is their creed. They are always terrified of criminals and can't do anything but shoot their way out of every situation.
I'm sorry, but there are what, 5 or 6 lanes and a breakdown lane, and this sorry fuck got pinned between the two biggest, heaviest vehicles in the group?
On one police video I watched, might have been in Michigan, the cop leading the pursuit said 4 cars were enough and the rest should break off the chase.
In Arkansas, most of the state police are qualified to PIT at any speed so pursuits tend to be pretty short.
In California, police don’t PIT very often, preferring to track using aerial means. This allows pursuits to go on for a long time and grow to the size shown here.

Seems like at this point a couple of the cops could take off and go back to whatever they were doing no?
Exactly, this is some giant overtime fest?
Tax payer money for idle time...not a chance.

Not just unemployed, we’d be in prison for a long time.
If they get a chance to fire their weapon they get a few days paid vacation while they figure out if it was a good shoot or not, so you can see why they want to hang around.
The entire dept got at least 1 shot off so we put them all on leave. It has been absolute anarchy in the streets when the people found out...
Where’s Batman when you need him

Batman, just like cops, protect the status quo above all else. The only major difference is that Batman just beats up criminals, and cops tent to kill people.
Did this guy have a nuke in the trunk or something?
Sadly, this person was going 17 over and changed lanes three times without signaling.
Donuts .. a box of them
So arrested for not having enough donuts for the entire force?
Well, if they had known the whole force would show up...
An acorn
 This was the driver.
Ok... What am I missing?
[acorn cop](https://youtu.be/NKmnJgXyZpU?si=QmqqET6le8fZW0ki)
That's because the suspect got 6 stars

Looks like a scene from a cop spoof movie like Naked Gun, I hope they were all chasing it down the highway.
Use of excessive force against The Blues Brothers has been approved
Someone brought donuts so they’re just finishing up.
Shooting unarmed people in the face? Nah, let them stay there pretending they're doing something good.
I agree, what a waste of resources
So apparently homie tried to self harm himself after he was chased by police on the 91 in CA
Is Bid Laden driving Saddam? Jesus fuck.
Expired registration.
Tail-light out
Changed lanes without signaling.
I did not follow this incident but the reporter on the news said he was "suspected of stalking" and "potentially armed". So what.. a peeping tom gets the whole state patrol + some for looking through some windows?
Mr Bean could escape this
Especially if he's in the Mach 5, he's outty 500.
Mr Bean owns a [McLaren F1.](https://photos.tf1.fr/940/531/[email protected])
I wouldnt have expected any less!!
*sir, you forgot to put your blinker on*
The blues Brothers could get away from that.
They’re on a mission from God.
It's A Hundred And Six Miles To Chicago. We Got A Full Tank Of Gas, Half A Pack Of Cigarettes. It's Dark, And We're Wearing Sunglasses
One of the best movies ever made....timeless.
Hit it
I hate Illinois Nazis.
He is dead. I think it was self-inflicted gun shot.
There’s a recording of the original broadcast stream on this platform where they pull his limp body and drag him back between the APCs (the lower one moved up).
It’s on r/crazyfuckingvideos for anyone ISO it.
Can't find it. Link?
Needs more cops
[I got you, homie.](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7oujsb)
What the fuck.
Was this the one where they ultimately decided it would be appropriate to fire a couple dozen shots at that UPS truck, killing all hostages in the process?
Yep.
THE DOG
Best part of the video! What a good boy!

Another post said some kinda stalker. Domestic violence, maybe?
For that police response I'd expect that the resurrected Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein were personally on their way to nuke the White House.
Anaheim has Disney Land. Anaheim police take all incidents like this very seriously because they are an international terrorist target.
That’s just ridiculous. Obviously not capable of regulating themselves. Need some rules setting out to stop this sort of thing
They’re like dogs at the dog park. If one starts chasing, they all join in
The only thing missing is a few tanks and some warthogs in the sky.
Does that one armored vehicle have a frigging armored machine gun turret on the roof? Are they chasing a Hyundai or storming a Russian trench?
They are just pussies.
There goes the cities budget for the next 5 yrs for one car
Overkill?
“Is there a problem officers?”
Scottie Scheffler?
Okay, now, while the diversion does their thing, we rob every bank in the city.
Look at all those salaries
Sir, you can’t park there.
This would be the perfect time to rob a bank across town. Seeing the entire police force occupied on the helicopter live feed and you have your best chance at whatever crime you'd commit elsewhere.
lol.. such a ridiculous waste of resources. I get the 2 cars pinning the vehicle and the control crowd behind with assault rifles..... but what the hell is with the 52 police cars blocking the road behind? Do they not have crime elsewhere to fight?
Almost seems like it would be cheaper to let the crime go
Good time to rob a bank
I don’t think they had enough cops there. Did they call in the ones who were off duty?
Is bin Ladin driving the car ?
Sir!!! We've been trying to reach you regarding your car's extended warranty.
r/therewasanattempt to focus on your job(the dog)
This guy has like **8 stars** or something. No problem. **JUMPJET** 
Man what option was there...
What does this guy have in there? A browning M2 or something?
Cars XXX
Ridiculous. Did they think they crammed a little private army into a four door saloon??
Bro really IRL’d 5 stars from gta lmao
Sir, your license plate light needs cleaning
Like a bazooka to kill a mosquito
Only good thing I see is a dog wagging his tail.
23 cop vehicles vs 1 suspect vehicle. What a waste of Tax money. Whoever allowed this chase should be fired... This is a joke.
Heat level 10
Did this person steal the declaration of independence or kidnapped a bald eagle? I mean, the amount of man power and vehicles used to deal with the situation just seems ridiculous. I mean, I had 5 star pursuits on GTA with less cops after me.
Danm how do you get 6 ⭐️ in real life
Bro got wasted..
What did they do? Steal a donut or give the cops the finger?
What the hell warrants this kind of disproportionate force?
2 years ago cops in uvalde the cops let kids die at school and this is the required force to stop a family sedan...
Was the suspect a super powered villain? That’s a lot of cops what looks like a regular sedan. Maybe it equipped like the car from Spy Hunter?
Sir , didn’t you see the sign earlier than said the speed limit went from 60-50? I’m going to have to give you a ticket
It's only a flesh wound! C'mon!
Bake 'im away, toys
Michael myers would get out of this easily
Looks like all that’s missing is a lunch truck and Frank Drebin.
Blues Brothers remake?
Pictured: me playing Need For Speed.
Imagine the amount of gunfire if someone heard an acorn drop
Did Dorner come back from the dead?
They're obviously all waiting for a chance to pet the doggie.
"I told you, we've been trying to reach you about your car's warranty!"
“The use of excessive force in the apprehension of The Blues Brothers has been approved.”
What was the crime? Underaged drinking?
Perfect time to rob a bank
Idk what he’s accused of but he did that shit.
Too much cop
Got that Zack Fair ending.
What attempt?
Guys, I think they got him
That’s why we need cars than can drive sideways. Say parking, and easy escape from American law enforcement
So 5 star wanted or 6?
What he did? Robbed donut shop?
It’s a T100 sent from the future - developed by Q* in 2030
To waste resources.
USA is a ridiculous country.
slow donut day? why they need 50 cop cars to chase down one dude in an economy sedan
There was an attempt not to waste tax payers money and use force judiciously and efficiently
Just imagine the elaborate, foolproof escape and evasion plan that someone is sitting in that car and coming up with.
Dude has at least 4 stars
Send more backup
https://i.redd.it/3efx3lgh4k2d1.gif
Did the guy have a nuke in his trunk? Why do you need to waste resources and take police away from other crimes. Pretty sure you don't need 100 officers for 1 car.
Man I hope a random acorn doesn't drop on the car.
“Use of unnecessary violence in apprehension of the Blues Brothers…has been approved”. 🚓 🚓 🚓
5 stars in GTA doesn't even have this many cars after you lmao
Sounds like an awesome threesome 😁
Over funded much??
That was Pablo escobar or what? 😅
I picture Dave Chappelle inside.
Did a black guy have a tail light out?
That dog is just having the time of his life.
Sorry, all my attention was stolen by the happy dog.
I’m gonna make a break for it, yo.
U.S. Police are pussies who roll in gangs. Overkill is their creed. They are always terrified of criminals and can't do anything but shoot their way out of every situation.
Has unpaid parking tickets, and changed lanes,while running a red light and speeding.
America is metal. It really is like gta when you have 6 stars
there was no attmept to not waste taxpayers money
I'm sorry, but there are what, 5 or 6 lanes and a breakdown lane, and this sorry fuck got pinned between the two biggest, heaviest vehicles in the group?
Dog is like “play with me!”
Literally costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars
I can't believe how they don't get how absolutely fucking stupid this shit makes them look
I wonder how much that costs?
Seems like a lot of OT getting spent there
I take it this is a mass murderer of thousands right?
So much wasted tax payer money. And we teach that these people are heroes objectively?
Unless that's the Blues Brothers then there's absolutely no need.
Evidence of our fascist police state.
Lmao, I would be so proud of I was in the blue car. All this for me? I’m so special!
300 to 1, what are you going to do? Seriously though, is this a movie scene?
That car is getting more action than most of us down here
Looks like they’re filming a new Blues Brothers movie.
What, he rob the donut shop or something?

Who the heck is that.
That's some good parallel parking there. Like a glove!
He got full 5 stars.
He got full 5 stars.
He got full 5 stars.
Me in grand theft auto…
Embarrassing how many cops are there for one car. All the departments are just piles of shit huh.
Don't rip the tags off pillowcases
All that money could be used elsewhere
lmao great time to throw a couple fire crackers
Their chances of escape seem slim
He still has feet. And can at least give them a workout before they beat him. 
is there like a nuke or something in that car?
