Cop swerves in front of Longboarders

threads for later

RubberSoulyoure the one talking in circles here and twisting my words

i replied to the exact words you were saying, in the part of your post you explicitly asked for a direct reply to. re-read it and try to act like im being unreasonable in my reply to what you said

and really, complaining about capitalizing i's? man you have such good posts most of the time but as soon as you argue yourself into a corner you act fucking obnoxious dude. it isn't hard to read lower case i's, there's not even another character that it can be confused with.

God dammit.


You literally said "The part you're refusing to acknowledge" when I very clearly acknowledged it earlier and actually agreed with you completely- and still do. I don't agree with how the cop acted putting people in more danger, but I also don't agree with the crybaby bullshit these boarders pulled over it. My reason being is that they accepted the risk that someone could pull out/walk out in front of them at any time by doing it there and they would have totally just dealt with it if it had happened- but when it was a cop they're all crying as if it's so fucking dangerous and someone could have been hurt or killed. No shit it's dangerous and you could have been killed! That's the point!! Far more importantly though you could have hurt someone else and that's why you aren't allowed to do that there. Case in point to a T. If you're gonna do some ballsy shit like that, be a fucking man about it when you get pinched. Don't cry like you weren't already signed up for whatever the fuck was going to happen regardless when you shoved off and tucked. That's my beef. I hate that whiny bullshit. Man up and take your $35 ticket and "'I'm a squid and can't slide stop yet' contusion/road rash" or whatever without crying to mommy like that bad man almost made you hurt yourself- and the guy out front with 10 less feet to stop halted just fine. Don't be mad you can't ride/really shouldn't be there and the cop just proved it. Know what I mean? Not saying the cop was justified at all because as you may be able to tell I don't think it's worth getting hurt over in any capacity, by anyone's fault.

Huck_Norrisbut when it was a cop they're all crying as if it's so fucking dangerous and someone could have been hurt or killed. No shit it's dangerous and you could have been killed! That's the point!!

okay see that's where i was directing the "refusing to acknowledge" part. my answer to that statement is that it's not the fact that it's a cop, it's that he purposely made the move, the same way there would be different reactions if a civilian purposely made the situation more dangerous vs being in the way through the course of normal driving

but whatever, like you said we're mostly in agreement here. im not saying the longboarders are totally in the right at all, just that two wrongs don't make a right

glad we got that debate over. i'll see you at the consulate

Huck_NorrisGod dammit.

Whenever you get in a car you accept the risk that someone may blow a stop or swerve suddenly into your lane, that doesn't mean you aren't allowed to get mad

And trust me these longboarders wouldn't of just shaken it off it was a regular car that blew a stop sign instead

Hahaha the fact that people upvoted this actually made me laugh.

Huck_NorrisThe way you weigh facts and arrive at a conclusion is interesting if nothing else. Let's see here, one guy barely stops and the rest crash- yep that's the very picture of control! I bet if you brought this argument and airtight logic to police they'd raise the ban countrywide and you'd be a national hero.


Also how you think riding a longboard you can barely stop or turn is somehow safer in a residential area I have no idea. There's tighter parking, more side roads, more opportunities for people to turn and also pedestrians- none of which you are going to be able to stop for as these retards showed us.


Basically what I'm saying is you seem to be an idiot and you don't understand how to use facts to properly arrive at a conclusion that a) makes sense or b) relates to actual adult reality. (and not the rage of tween idiots that can't kickflip which is very different)

havent read the thread, but what you're saying is the cop did the right thing?

Unless they're is something we're missing in this 30 second clip, that cop is a dick

Huck_NorrisHahaha the fact that people upvoted this actually made me laugh.

The fact that you're still being an enormous boner actually makes me laugh

Lord_Byronhavent read the thread, but what you're saying is the cop did the right thing?

She's not necessarily saying the cop is right, but she's saying the longboarders are in the wrong. That's not why people are pissed off at what she's saying. People are agitated at the fact she sees longboarding as a fucking crime. She said in one post that there putting themselves and other in harm by riding on a main road. If all precautions are met (such as helmet, gloves, helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, etc. and they are riding on the right side of the road going the speed limit) then they are not at fault for anything. Which, in this video, it looks as if all precautions are met or at least most of them.

dumb longboardring punks, i hope they all get run over by cops. who do they think they are?
