This police car came to a dead halt on the highway, leaving the semi-truck behind it with exactly zero options.

Physics was an optional class when you were in high school, huh?

Sonce when they can just full stop on the road without even considering other drivers? No lights, nothing. He could have just parked on the sode with lights on and wait till it would be save to go on the road and pick it up. Stupid mf

Copper probably didn't have the appropriate training to stop highway traffic. I've seen my fair share of highway patrols doing it correctly by weaving and slowing down traffic.

Looked like he stopped for debris on the road and forgot to put his emergency lights on…

Lights don't change the physics. Stopping on a highway is fucking dangerous no matter what

I think there's a stalled truck to the right side of the road he was stopping for. Not that it matters without his lights.

The reverse situation almost happened.

Well now there is a little more debris on the highway.

After a "thorough" investigation, we have ruled out ourselves of any wrong-doing. - the PD, probably.

3-4 seconds to react. A butt pucker, but time to do something.

Oh look, traffic on either side of the 80,000 lbs ballistic missile. Yep, lots of options

Could try braking at least?

Cop shouldn’t have done that but the driver reacted waaaaay to late.

Top-Confidence4496@reddit

Well the police car helped him stop technically

homucifer666@reddit

LoL.

Poor driver though.

I get the cop stopped without lights but the trucker was speeding, if he couldn’t stop on time, he’s going too fast or not enough distance.

Both are dumb.

Lightyear18@reddit

this two are triggered over driving safely

You people are so f** clueless. You don't come to a stop on the f* interstate. You certainly don't come to a stop for a f cooler. I'm sure you guys have precognition to know exactly when some d*** is going to stop in front of you.

What the f*** was he supposed to do slam on the brakes when he doesn't know what's happening in front of them that this moron cop is going to come to a stop on an interstate.
