Apparently he said something like "fuck Trump", and they got big mad.

He was on the bike circling in front of them taunting "I'm not a US Citizen" They were just laughing it off until he dropped his phone on the ground. Then they tried to pounce on him as he went to pick it up. Tbh he's lucky those dumb shits didn't shoot at him as he rode away.

Okay if GTA is like this then I totally understand now. The way they turned around like pathetic NPCs 😂

Nah, if this was GTA, more agents would have spawned in front of him just off camera, and plowed into him with their cruisers.

GTA’s crazy cops were started because of a coding bug. The game devs wanted cops to navigate to the player then brake, before hopping out of their cruiser to arrest you. The astute programmer has probably already seen the error here… The cops navigated to the player and didn’t start braking until after they plowed into you at full speed. Then once you were laid out on the ground, the cops would hop out of their cruisers to bust you. The devs forgot to add any kind of “brake before reaching the player” distance to the player’s location, so the cops would just run you down at full speed. But during play testing, the devs discovered that the players thought it was a lot of fun, constantly dodging the wildly homicidal cops. So they left it in, and GTA was born.

I thought they put it in, but accidentally reversed the sign. Instead of slowing, they actively accelerated.

It was back when it was a street racing game. The idea was that cops would box you in, and slow you down.

Who knew kiting worked in real life?

Solid example of why dutch style bikes are so nice.
