Video Citizens help cop who high-centered his cruiser in a pursuit.

The celebrating was a bit gay. :rolleyes: I mean, who wouldn't try to help an officer in distress. 🤔 :) Like "makers" when they complete a birdhouse or something menial like that... ;)

Me and a couple buddies are watching the dirtbikes at "Motocross Island". This was about a 10 acre sandy outcropping on the edge of a salt marsh with some small jumps and whatnot. One dirt road in or out. Not really owned my anyone, it was also a party spot for teens, which we were.

Just as we were going to open the trunk and crack a couple beers, a cop shows up--he must have seen us entering and figured he'd bust us smoking dope, which none of us had. He doesn't smell pot, asks us what we're doing there, checks my license (valid) and reminds us we're not supposed to be there "so you should leave soon". Then he goes down a trail usually reserved for dirt bikes.

Since I rode there frequently, I'm like "Watch this! Watch this! Watch this!" pointing at the cop car going down the trail. About 200' away the brake lights come on and the ass end of the car goes up in the air. :eek: The reverse lights go on and off and the car doesn't move--he's stuck! :D He didn't know about the ditch we dug to make a small jump for the bikes... :cool:

"We gotta help him!" I told my hesitant buds. So we go over there and ask if he needs a hand. "No, I already called a tow truck." "Cancel it, we'll get you out of here!" Knowing the cop cars had limited-slip rear, I had him put it in reverse and the three of us lifted the front end up and the rears got traction, he backed out, went around the jump, waved to us and drove off. Knowing he'd be too embarrassed to show the rest of the afternoon we went and had our beers and watched the bikes... :)
