Training was lacking, it seems...

 

Two (apparently rookie) Chicago cops tried to arrest a fleeing felon (apparently also a rookie).




Looks like the pole was the only competent one there, stopping the bad guy when he ran headlong into it.  Certainly, it was more effective than anyone's (allegedly) aimed gunfire!

Go read the comments about the video on YouTube.  Some of them are hysterical.

(Oh - and someone please get those cops some remedial firearms training.  They desperately need it!)

Keystone Cops. Sadly not exactly physically fit either.

In Chicago, if the cops are shooting AT you, that is probably the safest place to be. Bystanders, not so much.

I'm not being snarky either, this is reality.

Nope. The guy who ran right into it was one the cops (the other cop tripped over another pole on the ground).

The suspect tripped going around the pole.
