When cops are bored...

O.K.

Let's do a role reversal and see how that gladdens your heart.

A violent criminal gets the drop on a cop or group of cops, disarms them and threatens to assassinate all.

They start quaking in their boots - until he laughs and says: Only kidding, here are your pistols, no hard feelings, eh?

Gosh, wouldn't that be hilarious too?

No?

I really don't understand where you're coming from...I'm trying but I really don't understand the correlation you're trying to make.

If it was scripted and just as funny as I found this one, yes I would think it was hilarious. I could not let scripted things like that get to me. If I did I could not enjoy any action movies, where actors playing bad guys kill other actors playing police or innocent people. I am a big fan of Christopher Nolans batman trilogy. I did not hate Heath Ledger for terrorizing the people of Gotham City.

So I have to retract my objection. As an indie filmmaker myself, I should have realized that it was staged.

Abe we cant compare real life events to a movie. Pulling a real gun on real people & provoking real emotions is not what happened in this video. The beauty of this gag was that the viewer was pulled on like a sock - the joke was on us.
