Wow, that's what you get for jumping over a cop car on your bike... are the guns really necessary?

completely agreed, thats police brutality on photographic evidence, they press charges press right back. I can respect cops and the law just fine but cops like that should be in fucking prison them selves.

i know this has been said but
are the guns really necessary......?
i mean if he's on a bike
he wouldn't be carrying
a knife or a gun because
if he came off he would kill him self.........

very dumb, but in all fairness to the cops anyone who runs is in there mind running for a reason,there not used to peopel running for jumping the car they probably thaught he would of just stoped so they assumed he had drugs,wheapon who knows.its there job to use certain forces in that situation its not like they were gona shoot him there just protecting themselves from someone who is running from them. they dont take chances,dont fuck with cops.

^^^^ yah but if he was that desperate to stay away from the police then why attract attention by jumping the car???
- 1 3
but man...if sombody runs from u..why would u protect ur asss than???..c'on man..look at him..could u hide a weapon under that?? jeans..tight..and a shirt...com on..bee serious..

im not a racist, but i think the thing with the gun is typical for the american police.
i know some stories and videos in which they shoot people with hands held high.
cant understand that.
peace!

yh but atleast the cops give a dam in that country in britain we have so many chavy hoodie yobs owning the country and all the goverment can do is shit all. atleast in america cops are armed so some stupid chavy prick cant nife em or some old lady is beaten and mugged for her hadbag. if that guy did it in britain they wouldnt care so atleast the cops can take out the shit on the street even if this guy did nothing. lol poor guy hahah peace!

Everyone who comments on this picture along the lines of "fuk da police" or "pigs r stoopid" is f*cking naive. Now, this is not to be confused with stupid; naivety is the case when people who don't have all the facts assume that they know everything about what's being presented to them, and then they use their "knowledge" to form judements and jump to conclusions. You have to put yourself in the shoes of the cops. They've been trained to pursue anyone who runs from the scene of a crime. Like I've said too many times before, innocent people don't run.

well said my man =).. i dont think they just whipped out there guns and said get down, he would of done something.. swore at them, refused, anything cuz just riding his bike they would pull out there guns.. he must od dum some stupid thing that got them the right to do what they did

hey seraph why do you think you are so clever and tell everyone whats right or wrong if they are weird and want to fuck policemen then that's up to them don't comment on their comments just comment on the bloody photo anyway sweet!

you are telling me to cheer down, that's rich coming from the one who has to comment on what everyone else thinks and who gives a shit about anyones grammar skills!
apparently 24 year olds are the most immature!- 1 0
A typical response. That's ok, go off and live in your dream world where everything you say is true and nothing applies to you. Have fun!

stop trying to be superior
im not gonna say that all police are bad, because i've known some pretty chill police officers
but it's unecessary for them to PULL OUT A GUN just because someone was riding a bike
if we have to deal with authority that rules with an iron fist to "maintain the peace," than what peace is there to maintain?
and don't bring unecessary side arguments into this, such as age, because age has nothing to do with intelligence, just common sense

Well clearly you've just proven your own statement wrong with that last sentence, kid. For your information, the cops didn't pull out their guns just because the guy was riding a bike. They pulled out their guns because he fled. If a guy runs from the cops, they assume that he's got something to hide. I don't know how many times I have to say that, but apparently all you little shits can't get it through your thick little skulls that cops work on a system.
- 0 2
yes, but HE'S ON THE FUCKING GROUND. he's already down
and the point is, the system the cops work on is retarded. that's true that it's the system, but that means the system is fucked up
- 2 0
Just because he's on the ground doesn't mean he isn't going to reach into his pocket and pull out a weapon. Your point is moot because you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
- 0 1
and how do you know what you're talking about? you aren't a cop, i'm assuming, and since you are vehemently against breaking the law, you obviously don't know what it's like running away from them. so you don't know what you're talking about, because you have NO firsthand experience

and seriously f*ck the pigs, i got arrested at carp fair this yr for drinking (seriously it was only 5 beers) when we clearly walked past a minor niner throwing up his guts beside a concession stand. i could sing the goddamn alphabet backwards and they still took me in... like, how many ppl can say it backwards sober??... my point is (most) cops are biased insensitive asswipes.
- 2 2
Really? How many cops have you talked to? You must have talked to a lot to be able to say that most of them are "baised insensitive asswipes."

i have to agree 100% with seraph here. it's really kind of sad that the police get such a bad rap for what they do. they're out there every single day risking their lives to protect the communities they live in and the only thing they ever hear is "f*ck the police!!" or "go back to the donut shop you f*cking pig!"
it's pathetic, it really is. a cop can get shot doing a routine traffic stop because some a*shole with a gun doesn't want a 35 dollar ticket.
i don't know the entire story here but just because this guy was riding a bike while breaking the law doesn't mean he's an angel who got busted "for no good reason by the f*cking pigs who have nothing better to do". after reading the story it seems like the cops were called to the scene because of a couple of guys who were breaking the law by committing vandalism (yes, jumping your bike on a car is vandalism) and then fled from the scene...doesn't really project innocence. the cops pulled out the guns for their own protection and not because they "want to show off how big their dicks are". just because a cop pulls out a gun does not imply police brutality. all it means is that they're keeping the suspect under control in case he does have a weapon on him.
i'm sorry for the rant here guys. it's just really sad and pathetic that there are so many people here that say "f*ck da police" just because they're doing their job and because the person they're called to stop was a biker. let's see how many times your house gets broken into if there weren't any cops.

hey man. I'm with foxx here. I know you said this like a year ago, but I got mugged today. cops are necessary, and these guys were just doing their jobs. (Welcome to Stockton... enjoy your stay. thats more like it)

thanks tri, i appreciate the support 
people never realize how much a cop does until they find themselves the victim and the cops get them out of a bind. How many of us have had our bikes stolen before? none of those bikes would have ever gotten returned if it weren't for cops (or cam mccaul it seems, lol)

I was surprised at the reaction of the cops so I did a little research. This was all set up for marketing. The story is that a guy called the cops because this guy was hopping a car but thats bullsh!t cuz there are pics of the same guy jumping a cop car. The story on the original site is obviously not true. Its not against the law to jump over cars anyway.

The cop has his sidearm drawn because the rider tried to get away. When cops see a potential criminal run, they have to assume that he has something to hide. Innocent people don't run.
- 2 3
not necessarily, ne one hu doesnt wana be caught; innocent or not, runs. I'd rather run than stay for an argument on how it wasnt me with the cops.
- 6 2
"eddiethekid": I didn't say all criminals carry guns. In fact, I didn't imply that anyone carried guns at all. Cops draw their sidearms for any potential threat, be it a knife or other self-defense weapon one may have on their person.
"spear667": you're just like the person in this image. If cops see you run, they assume you have something to hide. It's hardwired into their minds, it's second nature. If you run, you will get caught.

Well he tried to run off they pulled the gun out to keep him from fighting back... You do somn stupid you get what you get! (I'm for the cops)

I have nothing against americans, people are people and goverment is a bit different thing... however whatever U say the US right to defend yourself is ... - I think there is no swear word ever invented by mankind to insult it adequately. If a cop is being taught and almost brainwashed to take off the gun in a reaction for 90% of "suspect's" behaviours so he can protect himself nad his partner - that is unbelievably stupid...
- 1 2
its cause the retard ran from the cops. its his fault not the cops. i would have pulled my gun on him too if i was them. people who run from cops are also people who try to fight them. if you dont wanna have cops where you live move to one of the few places on earth that are in anarchy. i give you a month before your dead

american police are such a cliche. they really live up to their name, pigs!
luckily we have the best police over here, they dont even have guns!
- 4 5
You tosser! no theyre the best police so the dont NEED the guns because theyre trained in other forms of disarnment! okay to say theyre the BEST is probably a bit bold...but theyre better than these guys! no wonder you guys have gun issues...look at the example that is being set in the photo we see above!
- 3 2
Yes, the example that is being set in the photo we see above is a very good one, indeed. Good form, a police officer drawing his sidearm to train it on a possibly armed suspect who fled the scene of a crime. A lot of people carry knives with them everywhere, I know I do, so this police officer is following proper SOP by having his gun out. You people really don't know what the hell you're talking about.

dude i dont think quater of thease kids have ever seen a cop holding a gun i have had 2 cop in one night point a gun at my head the one tryed to brake my car window and the other was a bitch cop ya she had a pussy she was so scared of me i was lying on the ground sort of like he is and she had her gun in my face saying dont fucking move her gun was shaking it was the most scary thing i have ever dun becuse if i had an ich i could have died she would have pulled the trigger so fast out of fear so befor all u kids think its fun to run away think they will and they can pull the trigger they have ways to get out of so if your not gilty tell them and walk away comely then u can press charges but un till then your a suspect and they have every right to kill u if u move to fast

POD, just to get the point across to the Pinkbike fraternety,that this shit evidently goes on,i mean a gun,f'sake come on,what were the cops expecting.It's an absolute scandal that that rider had to be put through the trauma of having a police issue pointed at him for pulling a trick on his bike.Them coppers want suspending without pay for over exagerating a sitch,at the very least.And that rider deffo deserves compo for unnessacary shock and trauma related ailments.ARSEHOLES.

i don't count this as a potential threat
it's a guy on a bike, running away
he can't do much with his back to them
- 1 1
That's nice, you don't count this as a potential threat. Who cares? Are you a cop? I don't think so. If the cops see a guy run, there's potential that he's running because he has something on him that he does not want the cops to catch him with. That could be drugs, stolen property, or weapons. Taking chances gets cops killed.
- 3 6
thats the fucking americans for you.... as soon as there is any trouble get the guns out. Guns are hardly needed here, thats really pathetic, if he was armed fair enough but its ovious hes just a kid on a bike. It really shows how pathetic the american police are. gosh.
- 5 1
Did you know that 21k people were killed with knives in the UK last year? That's because of the insane gun-control laws.
- 2 3
did you know that 29,569 people died in the US as a result of guns in 2005 and in the same year there were 477,040 injuries! dont throw figures at us...because your's are far far worse!
- 4 2
I'm just making a point. Guns have their place, which is obviously not in your hands. They're best used in the hands of level-minded individuals, much like the officer depicted in this photograph.
- 0 3
fuck the cops ... as if they take out a gun... like come on it some guy on a bike... fuck, the pigs have nothing better to do, like come on.. look where they were when he jumped the car, at a fucking donut shop ... stupid lazy pigs, go fucking find something else to do with your time! ... fuck i hate cops!

Please, before you go insulting the intelligence level of Americans, learn to use proper punctuation and grammar, otherwise you're being extremely hypocritical.

1.) He failed to use a space after the comma in the middle of his sentence; 2.) he used an apostraphe where none needed to be used; 3.) he failed to capitalize the "A" in the second instance of "Americans;" 4.) he used a comma where no comma was neccessary. Also, he used "there" when he should have used "their."
