Though “ACAB” may famously stand for “all cops are bastards,” it appears the old adage may have a second, yet equally pertinent, meaning — All Cops are Awful at Braking.


One cop recently proved that being a police officer comes with a whole lot of responsibility — namely, enacting the parking brake when on an incline — after getting hit by her own car while attempting to apprehend two men.



While it remains unclear what exactly prompted their interaction, the now-viral clip beginning with the officer meekly yelling at two constituents to “get on the ground,” she — quite literally — ended up kneecapping herself. As she aimed her gun, her improperly parked car began hurdling down the incline of the parking lot, nearly nabbing her leg between the curb.


The cop was able to jump out of the way in the nick of time, avoiding a painful, shin-to-concrete fate, yet it appears she still left the scene of the crime with one massive bruise — one on her ego.
