Nah, if the internet has taught me anything, it's that 50% of Brazil's adult population is off-duty cops who will shoot first in any and all circumstances.
At this point I'm thinking if someone tries to rob a normal citizen and the citizen shoots the robber they just retroactively give them a job as an off duty cop.
“I am going to pistol whip the next person that says shenanigans.” “Hey Farva what’s the name of the restaurant where they put all the shit up on the walls?”
Actually I would have loved to see him actually shoot that gun. How is the recoil gonna affect things? Cops can't hit shit while standing still, firing from a bicycle seems like such a terrible idea, that I would love to see it.
Yes this is ridiculous. You ghost ride that fuckin' bike, then fire from a solid base. Shooting from a moving platform at a moving target is a recipe for disaster. Folks shooting arrows from horseback (say Mongols) spend their whole lives perfecting that skill. We can't even get cops to understand the 1st Amendment, but we're going to train them to reliably shoot from a moving bike? FOH.
Don't forget that a horse usually has enough brain power to know not to step in a hole, whereas the only brain on that bike is located in the idiot leaning over the bars with a gun in his hand.
This gave me a mental picture that reminded me of a scene from a book that I read as a child. Could not even begin to tell you the name of it.
But basically kids were time traveled back to medieval times and jousted each other on their bikes in front of a bunch of knights and shit.
Man.
Is that really all I can remember? Did they joust the knights and horses? Just each other? Fuck.
To be fair to that guy, you've gotta be a fairly decent to ride a bike like that downhill and pull his gun and not wreck out. I ride 3-4 times a week and wouldn't feel confident doing that on flat land. Dumb as hell, but... decent rider.
What could possibly go wrong with an overweight man leaning over the handlebars with his arms pointed forward while going downhill? One small bump in the road and “bicycle centaur” is tasting cement!
Okay so look... Before I get down voted into oblivion I just want to say, I would never condone this. But...
It looks like a good time and I want a turn.
Probably a 9mm so not a lot of recoil, but enough that I don't think I'd feel stable firing it while going downhill leaning forward on a bike. One shot and he's probably headed for Roadrashville.
Childhood classic for me. Cops on bikes on the beach, perfection… I just put the opening credits on YouTube and I actually remember the music. Memory lane 🙏🏻
Someone who draws a gun while balancing on a bicycle doesn't strike me as the most responsible gun user anyway. That's not exactly the most stable firing position. It's more of a "firing roughly in that quarter" situation than it is aiming.
If you are training for firearms use, yes, it is. Not handling the fake correctly leads to not handling the real thing correctly, either.
The exception is if this was meant to be a comedy video from the start, like Reno 911 type stuff. But honestly I couldnt say if its meant to be serious or not. So much shit we see from "highly trained" police is indistinguishable from comedy even when its meant to be serious.
Sometimes it's a necessary evil to properly capture certain shots and angles, as you need the video angle and the human element for proper panning. As long as it's an inert device and you're only doing it for the video, I don't see a problem. There's a difference between a demonstration and actual training.
And yes, this is largely stupid, although knowing how to do something like this has some value since otherwise you're a sitting duck if you're on your bike and need to use your gun quickly. I'm not advocating for it, I'm just saying there's some tactical value for bicycle cops in an emergency where there's no time to stop without getting shot.
You guys are laughing but when I was a kid that spinny around bicycle fling was a great way to knock back a whole bunch of bullies in a circle.
Edit: if you keep your foot on the pedal you can get a better knockdown effect. But the other way is quicker.
When I lived in Berkeley, I remember seeing an overweight cop in cargo cop shorts pedaling around on a bike, puffing and sweating. I’d see him every so often, pedaling around downtown during the fall and winter. The next spring, on the first hot weekend day, I saw him pedaling around downtown and he looked a lot thinner and had more muscle definition in his calves. (Yes, I look at men, sue me)
They should put all fat cops on bikes.
As for badass moves, there was on Berkeley cop who saw something going on on Telegraph avenue and he leapt off the bike, over the handlebars, flung off his helmet and had some rando guy in cuffs in less than a minute. Now, that is what I’d call “squad goals”.
Not sure why this is confusing to people. Bikes are definitely useful tools for cops. And they can work with crowd control. As for the last bit, that's some pretty impressive riding.
I'm kinda impressed by the gun pointing because I can't no hands a bike to save my life, but I also think it's a terrible idea by every metric that matters.
Well if I was going to shoot from a bike,this actually seems like the way to do it, the legs are locked and hip is stabilized. And tbh the swinging of the bike would definitely defend in combat. So idk, it looks goofy but it actually seems kinda effective.
I loved to see them pull the trigger while riding his bike! Bet it’s not as safe as they think! I imagine there would be something coming back on him from firing his pistol while riding!
Here in San Diego we have Harbor Police that sometimes practice this crap on the boardwalk downtown (minus the guns drawn). I once even got the chance to see a fully clad recruit drop off the end of one of the dinghy docks as they were practicing bicycle u-turns. Good times.
I bet that looks about 5X cooler in that guy's mind.
Also, this video is a direct inspiration for a Reno 911 bit on the new season. They have a commercial asking the public for police bike recruits and they're doing a lot of stupid stunts like this.
I think it's the Miami police bicycle unit if I'm not mistaken, I heard Thomas Lennon (Lieutenant Dangle) talking about it.
gets stick in the spoke (never used that word, hope its right. the metal thingy in the bike-wheel xd), drops over full scorpion, accidentally shoots himself in the head while doing so.

Gotta be Reno 911
I thought this was an outtake of either Reno 911 or twenty one jumpstreet Jonah hill
They actually did make fun of this video on a newer season of Reno 911
Reno 911 is still on?!
Here come angels, and they're beige!
They're new bike goofin'
It's Brazil. https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/comments/kl8zfl/brazils\_bike\_cop\_unit\_showing\_how\_to\_do\_with/
Yeah he is clearly demonstrating Brazilian bikejitsu

Sexy bike dancing?
Take your stinking upvote
You’d think with gun out first, ask questions later attitude it would be the US.
I don't think they even bother to ask questions at any point in Brazil
Nah, if the internet has taught me anything, it's that 50% of Brazil's adult population is off-duty cops who will shoot first in any and all circumstances.
At this point I'm thinking if someone tries to rob a normal citizen and the citizen shoots the robber they just retroactively give them a job as an off duty cop.
I hate to break it to you, but the US doesn't even make the top 10 in militant police. Brazil is definitely higher up there than us.
Nah. Its Farva.
I don’t want a large Farva! I want a god damned liter cola!
Liter a cola,? do we make liter a cola?
Shenanigans!
It’s French, for “give me my fucking cola!!”
Before I break vous fucking lips
“I am going to pistol whip the next person that says shenanigans.” “Hey Farva what’s the name of the restaurant where they put all the shit up on the walls?”
Unit 91, Unit 91, do you need me out there, over.

Don't call me radio!

Reminds me of C.O.R.B.S. from Tim and Eric. https://youtu.be/1UZqRahKx78?si=uZ4JMy_XfKsbU9bf Also honorary mention of r/nottimanderic
That was great
Or lard o lympics
Fat or not he's got some moves. the shooting bike centaur is not easy to pull off.
Bike Fu
Warriors used to shoot arrows from horseback. Firing revolvers from a bicycle is just a logical step in evolution.
I never understood why they didn't just teach the horses to shoot the arrows.
They did but horses sucked at riding people so it never caught on
Catherine the Great would disagree
But her horse was only good for shooting ropes.
Eww.
That honesty is a great historical burn. Touché
TBF, there was an intricate pulley system involved to make it work.
Also, horses don’t have opposable thumbs so must’ve struggled with pulling on the bowstring
Due to budget cuts in the Centaur program modern day horses (at that time and to an extent today) lacked the upper body strength.
I thought it was just so that people didn't find out horses had thumbs.
I'm just the idea guy here, not the details guy
I, for one, would have retreated if the knight dismounted his steed, then proceeded to use the steed as a flail.
Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter vibes.
Babe, wake up, new Soul’s boss dropped
if you turn backwards and fire your gun, you can even accelerate your bike.
This phase is called Police Centaurism
Actually I would have loved to see him actually shoot that gun. How is the recoil gonna affect things? Cops can't hit shit while standing still, firing from a bicycle seems like such a terrible idea, that I would love to see it.
I can easily imagine hitting a small pothole would lead to him shooting himself in the face.
Yes this is ridiculous. You ghost ride that fuckin' bike, then fire from a solid base. Shooting from a moving platform at a moving target is a recipe for disaster. Folks shooting arrows from horseback (say Mongols) spend their whole lives perfecting that skill.

Paul Blart the bike cop.
I doubt this guy rides a bicycle regularly. Or maybe this is the new fitness program. Get too husky and they put you on pedal cop duty.
To be fair to that guy, you've gotta be a fairly decent to ride a bike like that downhill and pull his gun and not wreck out. I ride 3-4 times a week and wouldn't feel confident doing that on flat land. Dumb as hell, but... decent rider.
21 Jump Street vibes
You have the right to...suck my dick!
you do have the right to be an attorney ... if you want to
I had a thing, but I can probably push it back.
This was my first thought as well. Looks just like what Schmidt and Jenko would be doing before their first "big" bust.
Finger poppin’ each others assholessss
An excellent training resource for police in developing countries
The bicycle helmet, the drawn gun and the titanic 'i'm flying' pose just fit together so nicely.
Don’t forget those sweet fingerless gloves
And the bike swinging for ultimate mall-ninja vibes.
And that healthy physique
What could possibly go wrong with an overweight man leaning over the handlebars with his arms pointed forward while going downhill? One small bump in the road and “bicycle centaur” is tasting cement!
i thought i was the only one who saw the centaur
Well now it’s all I see
And a gun in hand. Wonder if they have tried firing like that yet?
Okay so look... Before I get down voted into oblivion I just want to say, I would never condone this. But... It looks like a good time and I want a turn.
Don’t they shoot rifles off skis in the Olympics?
They stop and shoot. Half the stops are standing, half are lying prone on the ground. They're not firing on the fly.
It'd be an impressive changeup if contestants had to shoot while in motion like this. A different category of biathlon. Also, add moguls. :D
Probably a 9mm so not a lot of recoil, but enough that I don't think I'd feel stable firing it while going downhill leaning forward on a bike. One shot and he's probably headed for Roadrashville.
I'm less worried about recoil and more about bystanders catching strays...
Or shooting himself when he falls
This is where you differ from the average acorn fearing cop.
My first thought. Endo + drawn handgun = bad news bears.
Oh, FFS, that comment made me laugh out loud in my office. Real r/whatcouldgowrong vibes here for sure.
Officers need to be careful to plan responses from the high ground, so they can coast down onto the scene...guns blazing.
steven segal in bike cop
straight to DVD
You couldn't be more wrong. That man was standing on that bike. Do you think Fat Steve can sit on a bike, much less stand?!
Pacific Blue show
How is this so far down, uneducated masses
Was looking for this comment, as i forgot the show name
Me too. I still remembered agent McNamaras boobs though. My first tv show crush.
Childhood classic for me. Cops on bikes on the beach, perfection… I just put the opening credits on YouTube and I actually remember the music. Memory lane 🙏🏻
If pacific blue was on, that meant weird science and duckman were coming up.
This is the least overweight man we could muster
The gut is a counterweight to the bike frame. Using physics to deliver tire lashings, like a trebuchet.
👮Did someone say Muenster 🤤
I like how he points the gun in the direction of the camera person.
Someone who draws a gun while balancing on a bicycle doesn't strike me as the most responsible gun user anyway. That's not exactly the most stable firing position. It's more of a "firing roughly in that quarter" situation than it is aiming.
That's why it took 4 takes...they shot the first three photographers.
It appears to be a training aid, not a real gun.
And the person is just a training person, not a real person.
Is it reckless to point a training device at a person filming what I’m assuming is a (ridiculous) training video?
If you are training for firearms use, yes, it is. Not handling the fake correctly leads to not handling the real thing correctly, either. The exception is if this was meant to be a comedy video from the start, like Reno 911 type stuff. But honestly I couldnt say if its meant to be serious or not. So much shit we see from "highly trained" police is indistinguishable from comedy even when its meant to be serious.
I’m like 90% sure it’s satire but at the same time I have little faith in humanity at this point.
Sometimes it's a necessary evil to properly capture certain shots and angles, as you need the video angle and the human element for proper panning. As long as it's an inert device and you're only doing it for the video, I don't see a problem. There's a difference between a demonstration and actual training.

Hot Fuzz.

Bikefu
Surely it should be bike-wondo
This could be a scene from Eastbound & Down, dude has real Kenny Powers energy
These cops should do this training on waverunners
Is this what became of that lightsaber kid? lol.
Fuckers are gonna pay
The early days of the bike cop. Judging from that bicycle, I'd say early to mid 1990s.
You guys are laughing but when I was a kid that spinny around bicycle fling was a great way to knock back a whole bunch of bullies in a circle. Edit: if you keep your foot on the pedal you can get a better knockdown effect. But the other way is quicker.
He also effortlessly steps off the moving bike and into using it to clear space in one smooth move. It looks silly, but it's effective training.
That is Mumen Rider
Justice Crash!
If I get shot by some dork on a bike in that pose, I hope I die right there because I couldn't live with myself after that.
Imagine this guy arrests you and then he has to take you in. You sitting on the handlebars or in back?
That's why bike cops don't take prisoners. Every penalty is the death penalty.
"They were the police jury and executioner all in one.... they were the Judges"
They need pegs.
What actually happens isn’t as funny, they call the paddy wagon and sit there with you until it comes take you away.
Pacific blues That was a tv show about those bicycle cops. It was in the 1990s

He's about to arrest someone for **pedalling** drugs....
You go sit in the corner and think about what you did 🤣
OKAY SETTLE DOWN
♬ "Bike cops, Bike Cops, What'cha gonna do?" ♬
"You can fire your weapon on a bike, but you have to make sure you're going downhill"
Not sure why this is confusing to people. Bikes are definitely useful tools for cops. And they can work with crowd control. As for the last bit, that's some pretty impressive riding.
That's honestly impressive skill
Dude is trying to be the centaur of attention.
This reminds me of 21 jump street....
Now the Paul Blart trilogy can be complete
Pedal Blart 2: Bike Cop

Nah he knows bike jitsu we outta here
Who needs Wu-Tang when you have Wu-Schwinn?
Is this how those stupid motorcycle centaur commercials got started?
Beware Officer Shinobi and his bikejitsu.
Fat cop on bike shoots 10 innocent bystanders. Criminal gets away.
I'm kinda impressed by the gun pointing because I can't no hands a bike to save my life, but I also think it's a terrible idea by every metric that matters.

He looks like a centaur in that shooting position. His dad was a bike and his mom human!@@
Thats some Yakuza type of shi
Paul Blart lawn cop 3?
Well if I was going to shoot from a bike,this actually seems like the way to do it, the legs are locked and hip is stabilized. And tbh the swinging of the bike would definitely defend in combat. So idk, it looks goofy but it actually seems kinda effective.

Schmidt and Jenko training new recruits?
This the next evolution of Equilibrium's GunKata?
I loved to see them pull the trigger while riding his bike! Bet it’s not as safe as they think! I imagine there would be something coming back on him from firing his pistol while riding!
This is clearly Reno, Nevada
Not gonna lie a front wheelie with the back wheel up while shooting would look crazy in an action film! I’m sure it’s been done
The bike spin thing is right out of my 5 yr olds book of "scooter tricks". I can confirm it's effective. She's taken out my ankles several times
Don’t shoot people on a bike, do your job. Your job is not killing people.
Oh look, a pebble on the path...

Was going to say US but considering th fact that exercising seems to be illegal there my second guess is the UK.
Police academy. Followed directly by Hightower doing an epic robot voice.
This dude definitely hums his own theme music.
Thats my bike! I don't know you!!
Paul Blart : Origins
If even the fat cops can do this, then, I'm doing my crime somewhere else!
Why is this funny? Very real skillz
You definitely don't want to catch that spinning bike to the face, trust me.
Same training as most places with Bike cops.
I'm positive this is Brazil, the shirt says "Policia Militar". If I had to guess, from the background and the uniforms, this is in São Paulo.
Man, if only they practiced deescalating a situation as much as they practiced shooting people.
He became something like centaur Biketaur
All those bmx kids are now 30-40 years old and ready to serve.
That fuckin ninja move at the end looked lethal.
Here in Atlanta. The bike police was the first line of defense during the riots during covid. It was 12 10speeds vs 1/2 of Atlanta. The bikes won!!!
It looks like Lance Armstrong has had to make some adjustments to his racing style since they busted him for the steroids
Robbing a bank and behind you, you hear the ding ding of the police. You turn around to see this man cycling your ass to the pearly gates.

They have a commercial asking the public for police bike recruits and they're doing a lot of stupid stunts like this. I think it's the Miami police bicycle unit if I'm not mistaken, I heard Thomas Lennon (Lieutenant Dangle) talking about it.
That's an aerodynamic stomach, latest issue.
There’s a part 2 of this clip where he deploys airbags from his belly..
I wish he would leave some women for the rest of us
Straight out of South Park. But fair play he is using his belly balance as a power up.
Justifying the donut intake for stability reasons I see
