    I long thought that our police force had become pussified beyond all help, but finally it seems that the viking genes have awakened in at least one officer. [​IMG]

    Can't believe I haven't seen this before, as it appears to have happened this autumn (well, could be a few years back I guess) going by the pictures and doubtlessly would have called for some media attention.

    They probably decided to keep it quiet after realizing there was never any police chase.

    Or else that officer need to learn the difference between pull-over and roll-over. :p

    It was probably kept quiet through the fear that the media would then be hunted by him.

    Glad to see you guys in Switzerland still know how to pimp-slap a fleeing suspect.

    Not often one witnesses a Volvo giving in to it's true nature, and eating lesser cars.

    Niiiiiice. That officer's Viking ancestors must be very pleased. :D

    I kinda wish our own cops would start doing to same, that'd make the fucking idiots on our roads pay attention! (Bitter? Me? No shit.)

    Interestingly enough, "volvo" means "I roll". I had no idea it was transitive though.

    That's excessively awesome. I'd say it was like watching everything in slow motion, but it's one step cooler than that, since they're all still frames and I have to scroll by hand. Imagine the look on the perpetrator's face when he realized the cop had officially wrecked his getaway...on second thought, it probably looked like it had been squished by an airbag.

    They're obviously using Grand Theft Auto 3 as a virtual police cruiser trainer sim. Maybe other jurisdictions should start taking note.

    True, but that was a reference to their making iron ball bearings (as is their logo, the alchemical symbol for iron)... regardless, that was awesome.

    Don't talk about iron ball bearings. It just serves to make me sad that we're not one of the leading nations in engineering like we used to be.

    Not at all the direction I thought that post was going to go, starting with a sentence like that...
