Individual becomes frustrated with the delay in the return of the bomb squad.
L
Whatever happened to that guy?
F
Someone else posted a link https://www.fox6now.com/news/charged-man-tackled-by-police-amid-suspicious-package-investigation-says-he-intended-to-be-a-hero
U
If he’d been in the US he would have been shot on site
L
This was in the US.
A
RIP
Z
he was violently pushed to the cement – that tracks for America
R
Did I just watch the goalposts move in real time?
B
You’re replying to a different commenter.
J
He’s really doubling down on his anti-america rhetoric, fuck facts
T
But…. Different dude?
V
That worked out well for you huh?
X
are you retarded? it literally is in the US
A
What a bunch of heroes
W
They have to justify their budget somehow.
X
Cops are only brave when they aren’t in danger.
M
They only tackled him because he messed with their money.
I
OT pay is a big deal for cops 👮♀️
S
I’ve seen this video so many times and I still don’t get why they tackle him.. like homie just did the job for you clowns
C
[one count of disorderly conduct and one count of obstructing an officer ](https://www.fox6now.com/news/charged-man-tackled-by-police-amid-suspicious-package-investigation-says-he-intended-to-be-a-hero.amp)
B
After reading the article that guy was pretty dumb. He didn’t get there until the danger was almost over, they had already x-rayed it. If he did it the first 5 minutes I could see maybe, but the bomb squad already did 99% of the work
S
That’s so stupid
W
If there was a bomb in that backpack you’d be calling him stupid for not letting the bomb squad do their jobs. If it was a bomb he could have killed himself and others. That’s why it’s against the law to do what he did. Stupid.
L
Stupid was also tackling him like a cartoon character after their own security failure allowed him to meander into the scene and empty the contents. At that point, they’re not making anything safer, and potentially costing taxpayers more money due to a lawsuit for excessive force.
T
Both situations can be true. What the guy did was reckless and stupid that endangered lives. The police failed at their job to secure and contain the area, as well as an excessive use of force on a guy who is walking away from you.
N
True but also to add that the tackle would have ended badly in some scenarios related to head injuries if it did, it was unnecessary too considering what he did had already been done
W
I’m not saying the tackle was necessary, but the disorderly conduct and obstruction charges were.
B
See, yeah, we’d yell at him but we wouldn’t yell at them. In both cases him stepping in is dumb, and in both cases no one needs to arrest him after tackling him. In one case there’d be nothing to arrest, and in the other there’s nothing served by arresting him.
W
it’s essential the bread and butter of “you dared annoy a cop and break the state’s rule over you to submit completely”
D
Cause some cops are real cunts
T
“… as Hughes rode past him, he yelled that he was going to blow himself up.” He actually thought it was a REAL bomb. He wanted an explosion. An explosion that could of actually hurt other people. As long as they don’t actively go out of their way to hurt him, and the tackle is just to make sure he can’t do something else just as stupid, I’m fine with that level of stupidity ending with that result.

*all

Only sith deal in absolutes
R
Isn’t that an absolutist statement? 🤔
M
Only the Sith deal in absolutes.
K
If you are a sith
P
Most Sith deal in absolutes
B
Until the entire system changes and holds bad cops accountable then all of them suck. It’s really easy to figure out, the entire system is geared toward protecting bad actions from cops, until the good cops actually stand up and fight back and change things then fuck them all lol
T
Well played my man. Well played
C
I mean if the bomb squad has been called in to check out and potentially defuse a suspicious package and in the middle of inspecting it some random dude runs up and starts fucking with it, it’s somewhat reasonable to assume that it might actually be a bomb and he might be trying to set it off.
S
This is Reddit. Logic doesn’t fly around here because reeeeee acab.
T
Yet if they thought that they wouldn’t run into the bomb to tackle him
T
You’d think the clue that it wasn’t a bomb was the lack of boom. The tackle wasn’t really justified.
C
Or maybe it was a bomb and he failed to detonate it??? You should always assume the worst if you’re dealing with an alleged bomb threat you realise that?
M
So they run AT THE BOMB!? If they still thought it was a bomb they would have shot him. They knew it wasn’t a bomb. They tackled him instead of just grabbing him because they’re assholes and knew they’d get away with it.

Their job i to safely defuse potential explosives and minimize risk. This guy did the exact opposite this time. He was just lucky.
C
There was still absolutely no reason to sprint at him and tackle him that violently. It was obvious there was no threat from the bag, otherwise they wouldn’t have dared to come into the area, and the dude wasn’t running. “Hey, man. That was very unsafe and dumb what you did. Come over here and give us ID, we’re going to have to cite you to discourage others from doing something like that.” Then proceed to lecture him. The tackle was purely due to the police feeling embarrassed.
F
>The tackle was purely due to the police feeling embarrassed They had to make sure that they looked tough before everyone went home.
C
Rifling through the backpack doesn’t clear it or diffuse possible bombs inside. For all they knew that guy put a bomb in there and was looking to see why it didn’t go off
C
Get real. He emptied the bag. If there was still a threat they wouldn’t have run up to and passed the bag to tackle him like it was the last play of the fucking superbowl.
