This Super-Friendly Cop Fist-Bumps A Wheelying Biker
It’s not every day that you get to see a police officer fist-bumping the outstretched foot of a guy doing dangerous motorcycle stunts on a public road, but that’s exactly what we can bring you today.
This footage, which was filmed in St Louis, Missouri, from another biker’s helmet camera, opens when the biker is already mid-wheelie. Credit where it’s due, it looks like he’s done it before.
Amazingly, it’s the cop driving the Chevrolet Tahoe patrol car who makes the first friendly move, stretching out his left arm, which the biker then tries to nudge with his outstretched leg while still holding the wheelie.
We always like to see gestures of common sense goodwill from the police, but even we’d have to admit that this cop probably should have pulled the biker over rather than made fast friends with him. The patrol car – and the driver – are easy enough for the St Louis PD to identify, so news that the force is running an ‘internal investigation’ probably means a telling-off is incoming.

This cop just ended all brutualism
The fact that the biker pulled that wheelie right in front of a cop in the first place is very ballsy/stupid
I’d say stupid more than anything
Legend.
At least he had a helmet on. Safety first kids.
😂😂😂👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
The camera man seems too be going in opposite direction. That would be my reason to stop them.
2 lanes each direction.
We need more cops like that, instead of the ones that treat you like a criminal for having a non switchable rev limiter on your moped…
You still can’t deny people doing dangerous things in public should not be encouraged
I think there needs to be a happy medium between the two.
You want more cops to ignore the law?
Switchable rev limiter? What is that
Who believes that he got fired after that?
He got suspended actually.
Interesting the cop didn’t do anything. I would think that is just going to encourage people to do stunts like that on the streets, considering the cop didn’t care. Surely got suspended…
I totally wish cops were more lenient towards car and bike enthusiasts, but do we really want them to be THIS lenient?
Well, I know he should have arrested the biker, but this at least shows us that there are community friendly cops out there-ones that are one with us and not just viewed as armed government dudes with guns.
