I wonder what they're yelling there in the background.

I came into the thread expecting boobies, but damn, he's still damn lucky, or unlucky if you look at it a certain way.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.. he would've been nailed by that 2nd car if he didn't get up so quick.

Missed the first car? Last I checked you can't do a flip like that. Looks like he got fvckin hit and spun in the air and had the adrenaline to get out of the way with what injuries he had.

Would love to know what really happend... it sure doesn't look like he escaped from the first car.

I'm not going to dig up the link but the story to that is he was making a traffic stop and a drunk driver (a woman) came speeding over and nailed him. But she sucks so bad at driving that she couldn't do any damage to him. :Q

Yeah there is one where the cop goes around the back of the car as the corner gets swiped by and oncoming vehicle. He just barely escapes getting crushed.

I've heard that knocking off an officer's cap is quite a serious offense...

i bet they can charge assult for that or somethign...

injuring a police officer with a car is assault with a deadly weapon if the driver was found at fault for the accident.

What a jump.

That wasn't a jump. He was hit by the front of that vehicle. He was lucky he didn't get his head run over when he landed.

He's bruised but bounced pretty good so he should be OK.

well he did jump away from his door to keep from being sandwiched. maybe he jumped enough to be hit by the upper part of the car. else he'd have broken legs from the bumper
