    Saw a guy in italy almost ram a cop car atan intersection. I think the driver was running a red light, but could have been the cop running a red. Anyhow, the driver breaks just before the cop car, and the cop on the passanger side just gesticulates his discontent but they just keep rolling on anyway. They could not be bothered.

      Sounds hard to believe. Or maybe the cops in my city have less empathy.

      If you were conscious but stabbed, a police officer would absolutely spend a few minutes writing a report while waiting for paramedics.

      Driving while intoxicated, they might still fine you for that.

      If you were brown and drunk, they’d probably arrest you.

      If you were brown, drunk, and the knife was within arms reach, you’d be tased and arrested for assaulting the officer.

      The point I’m trying to make: being stabbed does not stop a police officer from doing their favorite job in the world — beating innocent people.

        Depends, cops also HATE fucking working if they got some where to be.

        I’ve seen city cops in fact, let off some pretty bad drunk driving just because they don’t want to deal with it.

    Image from the funniest part of a movie that I won’t spoil because I was surprised and wish I could watch it again for the first time.

    Must have been in Europe. I’m America the cop woulda shot him. Also probably smelled the booze. Also as an American over never been drunk enough (not even when I had alcohol poisoning that one time) to think theat such legal consequences would be cheaper than a trip to the hospital.

    Fun fact, hospitals routinely do tox screens. OP isn’t just a bullshitter, he’s a bad bullshitter lol

        Having lived in both - often having a half pint of 4%. lager is enough to prevent people from driving, in the US having two pints of 7.5% IPA and smoking weed wouldn’t been seen as unusual before a 30 min drive home.
