[QUOTE=Apache249;47826848]Also what do you call this thing? [t]http://i.wheelsage.org/pictures/kmw/ampv/autowp.ru_kmw_ampv_police_1.jpg[/t] [/QUOTE] Photoshop, because it's not a real thing. Seriously. It's a really bad shop aswell. Also the tanks are water cannons for riots. Every country has those. They can of course be used for all purposes of course and you can of course ram cars with it, why not? I don't understand why you are all making such a big drama out of this and start comparing shit. Just look at my posts above and see how unserious I am about all this. Video is funny, nothing else to add. I never condemned the actions taken by the police, on the contrary. It's just FUNNY how it just plowed it away. Let the europeans smile, smile aswell and don't get offended so easily.
id take a bulldozer of a truck with strongly geared military men and armor up the ass over a dinky hicktown cop car. nobody needs a dead cop due to a shirtless asshole causing immediate danger to civilians and cops alike.

That variant is even called the "AMPV Police" by the company.

Also, the blue one shown off in the header and other 4 screenshots looks legit.
i don't get how you can even say something like "lol america and its militarized police force" and be completely oblivious to your own police force. [editline]28th May 2015[/editline] especially when your country actually deploys the military at times.
The swat truck looks like a barrel of monkeys when it opens :v:

[QUOTE=DMGaina;47826024] Germany has police chases aswell, we had 3 police chases in Munich. (That's where I live) But they usually end like this: [img]http://img.pr0gramm.com/2015/04/21/80d3ff2e2774eeda.png[/img] Oh and don't get me started on our neighbours in Austria. [vid]http://img.pr0gramm.com/2015/01/26/068da8001bd7a945.webm[/vid][/QUOTE] How fucking inept are the training programs for your cops?! Everyone in the US who wears a badge has to go through rigorous driver training(And re-training) that puts them above the typical driver in skill and technique. The sheer ineptitude you've posted there is something I'd expect to see in Hot Fuzz or on Top Gear, not in real life.

It's not like you're suddenly a driving god because you were in police school. What's with all the flaming, man? Also not both accidents I posted were actually in the same country.

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;47830600]Fuck ups happen to the best, no exceptions.[/QUOTE] That they do, and I'd love to accept that the two examples DMGaina posted were anomalies. US cops sometimes get it pretty wrong as well, after all. But he implied that it's [i]normal[/i] for their squad cars to end up in fender benders like that. Maybe he's just pulling shit out of his ass on it, but the way he worded his post means at the very least he believes the German Police(And Austrian Police) to be wholly incapable of driving a car under pressure. And I find that ridiculous.
i was watching the whole thing on stream and the ramming was really unexpected after what was happening during the rest of the chase

I'd rather see news stories ending in the arrest of a criminal rather than Barney Fife crashing his car into a pole and the criminal getting away.
It's slow as fuck because he was going slow at one point? When he was rammed he was going in excess of 50 mph.

I did not wanted to start a debate, I did not wanted to compare anything to anything or point with the finger. The car crashes were meant as a joke to take some pressure out of the discussion. I underlined it several times now that I do not condemn the action taken by the SWAT guys and that the guys did a great job in the end. It's like nobody really cares to read anything and just sticks to some details to have a reason to be offended and angry. Most post (not all, luckily) are really provocative and unobjective. I get it that some people might see it another way and I do apologize if I hit some nerves but it's Facepunch's video and flash movies section, it's not a serious debate, this is not sensationalist headlines... usually we see things with more humor in here. Right now there is one group ripping everything out of context and... well... there is me. I observe the same thing every time there is a discussion about firearms and police with other people and you all know pretty well that europeans don't understand a fart about the situation over there in the US and that situations are incompareable in the end. As reponse to that I said that our guys over here fuck up and they do fuck up badly sometimes but again, it's not unusual ANYWHERE on this planet. "Hey look guys, don't take us too serious, we don't know better." Can we be all friends again?
