I don't think any police department has the opportunity to drag that many officers off duty for the amount of training it would take for such a demonstration...

Also... Am I the only one thinking that event would be the perfect time to commit some form of quick crime in the area?? Clearly they're all preoccupied.

Being Italian, I'm surprised none of them got their knee down.

If I ran from the police and looked behind me to see that coming at me, I'd shit a brick.

I also must add how incredibly trippy that film was. And the music sure added to the effect!

However, there's still the issue of Italian drivers... Mind you, I mean people living in Italy, not Italian American. ----- Don't whack me! :p

wll they don't do it no more... Well actually, police departments nowadays are struggling because in some case they don't even have the money to buy paper, or to buy gasoline...

I'm not joking unfortunately...

It's entirely possible that they still do it today. The Canadian Mounted Police have been doing the same thing for decades on horses.

Ok was anyone else just waiting for one of them to screw it up and cause everyone to crash?
