Awesome Police

To become a member of a SWAT team requires a great deal of skill, strength, and mental fortitude. This footage from a Shenzen Special Police team exam follows a student through a challenging obstacle course that tests their power, agility, balance, speed, weapon handling, and even knot-tying skills.

During a police chase in McLoud, Oklahoma a cop attempted a PIT maneuver on a fleeing pickup truck, causing the vehicle to lose control and flip. But rather than stopping the criminals in their tracks, the truck righted itself and kept on driving. The cops eventually got the scofflaws though.

We get to drive a lot of cars around here – some of which might attract the attention of the police. This time, we got some wheel time in Ford’s latest police pursuit vehicle – a fast, sturdy, and safe SUV made here in Chicago. We were especially impressed with the new Hybrid model. Read on and learn what makes a police SUV different.

The Dubai Police Department shows off some of its over-the-top cop cars, which include a Nissan GT-R, a Lamborghini Aventador, a McLaren MP4-12C, a Bentley Continental GT, a Bugatti Veyron and more. Sure beats an old Crown Vic.

Incredible footage of Korean police forces trained in synchronized formations designed to break up and disperse rioters. We’re thinking this was a demonstration exercise, but it’s still impressive – especially once the Molotovs start flying.

We’re not sure why these Danish cops are getting chauffeured around on a stack of speakers in the first place, but that’s not important. It’s the tune they’re jamming out to that is. Original (sideways) version here.

We don’t blame these guys for initially being afraid when a cop pulled up to their campsite. Luckily the only things he was interested in busting were jams. Canada wins again. Minus that guy at 1:07.

The title of this Rankin-Bass-Police holiday musical mashup pretty much says it all. “Rudolph (You Don’t Have to Put on the Red Light)”. Maybe Sting was the long lost 10th reindeer?

UK’s Hampshire Constabulary has revealed their new weapon against crime, a pedal-powered car that looks more like a baby carriage than a cop car. All we can say is “good luck with all that.”
