A Georgia state trooper is earning high praise for stealth moves he used both in and out of his patrol car to stop a man driving dangerously in heavy traffic.
A black pickup truck can be seen doing donuts while crashing into at least one bystander amid what is being called a “street takeover.”
It’s unclear whether the driver of the black truck was alone, but the trooper was successful in stopping his truck and then pulling him out of the vehicle in a series of flawless moves.
Shocked witnesses, presumably recording the now-viral scene, can be heard cheering for the trooper as he effectively subdued the situation.

The video elicited a strong response from X users:
I love how he pulled him out through the window and handcuffed him on the hood of his patrol car!
Smooth for the officer, humiliating for the perp.

“But it’s just some kids having fun!”
Yeah, that’s BS.
Notice that the “kid” had no problem running people in the crowd over with a massive pickup truck to try and get away.
Lock that little sh!t up for a long, long time.

That is one efficient cop. Plus, THAT is how you stop high speed chases. Cops not doing the PIT maneuver right off the get-go, is how innocent people get killed

The “old boy” remembers how it’s done:

Looks more to me like the truck was plowing through people and the cop took him down. I didn’t see the cop plowing through anything.
