Holy shit he was able to run away after being summarily ejected. I wonder if he stopped for his lighter.
eazolan
Of course. You can't smoke crack without a lighter.
strigonia
Downvoted. You shouldn't be showing criminals how to escape custody so easily.
bewarethecowpies
One little secret cops HATE!

I love the look of triumph when he gets the lighter out of his pocket like "yes! The magical freedom key!" Also seen this 200 times

BUT DID THE LIGHTER FLAME DO IT OR WAS THAT A COINCIDENCE??????
snappygiraffe
The lighter was another sign to the driver that he needed to get this guy to his destination pronto. The rush turned into and accident.

Hol up, was this a fatal accident?

How did he get out of his handcuff?

I am also wondering about how he did that. Could be useful information in the future.

Well, not entirely true. Someone had to plan it - i.e. it's expected. It didn't just happen on its own.

News article says he was charged with public intoxication, so I'm guessing he's wondering the same thing.
Shimobe
This pun deserves a lot more attention.
Janusha
It wasnt easy putting "window" into a sentence related to the gif.
starzers
Probably gonna try to light the car on fire so the cop would have to stop and let him out to put out the fire. At this point buddy guy'd run
PuppyDontCare
Flawless plan
FatBaldingAlcoholic
What did he expect to do with the lighter?
SaturnineCult
I don't know, but it seems it worked reasonably well.
kmikl
Something genuinely stupid, I'll guarantee you that.
SauceIsAwesomesauce
Just cause trouble. That's as far as he got in his thinking
PoeKneeTa
His best.
SalmonTheWise
He put his heart and soul into this plan.
TheChurchIsHere
Looks like he's trying to light the fabric/cushioning under the front seat on fire
JadeMcLeod
Potentially set the car on fire, forcing them to open the car and give him opportunity to escape.
KeeleonOhms
And certainly not beat his handcuffed ass into submission.
DirectorBright
He wasn't handcuffed anymore
KeeleonOhms
Why not?
MagicSquid
He slipped his cuffs.
DirectorBright
No I mean if you look at the clip he gets out of his handcuffs
IronicUsername
Start a fire in a vehicle he can't escape from. Brilliant plan.
VibratingNipples
because he saw it on 24 once

They can't arrest you if you're on fire. And dead.
Talinthis
well he was already arrested so his plan failed

SalmonTheWise
"Ah crap, he is in fire department's jurisdiction now! You got out of this one today..."
UpVoteMonster
This is actually police protocol. When a prisoner escapes cuffs you are suppose to flip your cruiser complete over.

quite true. He didn't "escape" so much as was thrown through the back window after the police car had a collision.

Also in the event of a manhunt in the winter it is acceptable to have a shootout.

I got locked in the back of a cop car drunk on a summer day and the cop forgot about me. Almost died. He said if I let it go he would 1/2

Yer man also if they resist arrest and are black you beat them till death and say he had a gun

And technically the "resisting arrest" part is optional, though encouraged.

I can tell how fond you are of police by your username
420blazeitbitchez
I actually hold a lot of respect for the police and what they do and hate people who say how terrible they are just was making a "joke"
420blazeitbitchez
Typical police protocol how do you not know this
WhistlePig
What actually happened?
ottotravel
The cop overcorrected for about no reason. Wrecked, dude went through rear window and ran away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU_KzqY2-O4
DeputySheriffMcLawDog
Jonesboro, Arkansas. Cop was struck by another motorist, flipped. Prisoner survived mostly unharmed.

The prisoner, 19-year-old Logan Younger, was thrown out the back window of the vehicle. He fled the scene but was caught a short time later.

that article doesn't explain why the crash happened tho.

"The cause of the crash is unknown and is under investigation."

August 2016. That's a long-ass investigation.

The cruiser lost control at some point b/c the officer saw the suspect get loose and was trying to get to safety in a hurry
icthree
Talk about ur all time backfires
fraket
I get it. BACK of the car FIRE.
HowMuchMethWasInvolvedHere
Even if the kid took off the cuffs, he shouldn't be able to get out. Right? Overreaction by the officer?
jimjam2
opkraut just made up what he imagined happened. He should be ignored
Bootsy81
American police never overreact. Their reactions are always completely appropriate.

Oh honey, do I have some sad news for you.

YepImTheToaster
The car crashed.
byobob
Shouldn't be able to get out, but what if he started a fire or had pepper spray or even a knife? Not sure but still an overreaction I think.

IronicUsername
I'd imagine he was searched for weapons before being taken into custody. I'd also imaging those things aren't stored in the back seat.
samsonguy920
Well, that lighter didn't just appear out of thin air. Whoopsee
IronicUsername
You know what, then again, I would also imagine they'd take his lighter away so maybe I'm off the mark here.
byobob
Yeah who knows, something is obviously wrong here on the officer's part.
PsycheClone
Why didn't the officer search him? That lighter could have been a weapon. Officer messed up big time here it seems.
fosuno
It's situational, I've only ever been searched once before being put in the back
opkraut
Yeah, it seems that mistakes were made that ultimately ended with this
Kateruddy
Subjects are usually searched 2+ times. Initial search is for weapons (knives, guns etc.) Prior to being placed in the vehicle.
PsycheClone
My observation is that the officer failed to cuff him correctly, search him correctly, and drive safely. Not a criticism of cops everywhere.
Kateruddy
2nd search usually occurs in booking. This is usually a property/inventory search. I usually have to conduct these at our PD for females...
Kateruddy
Cigarettes, lighters, singular keys, chapstick etc. Are the usual finds on my searchers. Also, this guy clearly crotched the lighter.
