    From yesterday's news. Cops chased a speeding pair on a bike and hit them in the back. The driver didn't have a licence neither. Both, the boy and the girl got a broken arm but nothing too serious. The media plays it out like the cops did it intentionally but I am not too sure about that, anyway, you can judge it yourself (it's worth watching until the crash, the last minutes do not show much):

    Looks more like the bike stopped quicker than the cop car could, IMO.

    Check it at approx 00:58 - watch it in 0.25x speed (click the gear icon -> speed ->0.25), and watch the attitude of the cop car, the front of the car drops from being on the brakes, then it rises before it actually hits the bike where it bumps up - I'd content that they let the brakes off to make impact
    pretty rough move

    @ruckusman You could be right, as it does so indeed. Guess the cops had had enough that day.
