  1. stoffe says:

    first -.-

  2. Mark says:

    Big Fail!
    Ouch!

    By the way, I love this site!

  3. asdf says:

    My kingdom for high-res. That’s badass.

  4. egghub says:

    omg! is this real? that’s not FAIL. that will hit the dude! yikes.

  5. Kid Choronsom says:

    Whow… This is a brutal pic…I always argue that you should be ab le to laugh at anything, but there should maybe be little bit of a warning before having to watch something like this…there are kids watching this site too.
    Having said that…This is a fantastic, pure fail picture =)

    • Rhyzzzz says:

      Lol, do you consider 14 a kid??

      but its ok, ive seen lots of more….distubing pics than this, courtesy of google images, with safe search OFF

      type in slave…you will be a changed person….*shudder*

      Lol…OWNED though

  6. Kid Choronsom says:

    #4 What…you DON’T see a fail in this picture?!!! Try changing your perspective…you see there are TWO people in the picture….ahhhhh….you see….and not all two of them are having a particulary successfull experience

    • junkster says:

      what part of being shot whilst running away by a psycho cop is a fail? thats just being f’d over. the cop is anticipating his motion.
      i say fail the cop for being caught shooting an unarmed man.

  7. Laura P says:

    Yikes, that’s scary! Is it just me or does that guy look a bit like Mark Cuban?

  8. who? says:

    i’d like to see this gunman in the clown fail picamirite?

  9. henry says:

    Hopefully for all involved the cop is using a non-lethal force method, like a beanbag or a rubber pellet.

    Leave it to the cops to shoot a guy running away from him, though. Cops FTW.

  10. Anonymous says:

    No cop has the right to shoot an unarmed person whether with lead or rubber bullets. All cops are bastards.

    • Me says:

      Get a clue. What if the guys is a rapist, child molester, or other very dangerous person? Maybe they should have given him a cup cake?

      • CupCakeLord says:

        If he doesn’t want the cup cake i’ll have it! ^_^

        • Anonymous says:

          By the plate I’d say this happened in Brazil or Portugal,
          as it’s clearly written in portuguese.

          By the violent police action, I’d bet on Brazil (I’m Brazilian, I know how they
          act around here, and this kind of behaviour is pretty normal). So don’t judge everything based on your own country’s laws or police behaviour.

          Now how do you feel about a car chase in brazil, ever seen one? I bet on “no”,
          cause they would just shoot the fuck outta everyone who’s running.

    • tessleopard says:

      getting caught speeding or driving drunk gives you the right to say all cops are bastards? sure, until they pull you from a car wreck, or stop the man attempting to rape your sister. heroes, more like.

      • Lulz says:

        Last I checked, firefighters pull people out of car wrecks, and when has a cop ever stopped a rape that was in progress? Fail.

        • Anonymous says:

          if it wasn’t for the police most murderes would have never been
          brought to justice, the guys who beat up my friend would still be wandering
          around the streets and racial violence would still go unchecked.

          • swed says:

            eh… ofc people to keep the law up is nedessery, that doesn’t avoid the fact that police brutality is a problem… as the cops has got the monopoly on violnce, idiots in the police is worse than normal idiots… however I am not the right person to say anything as I live in sweden we have got police brutality and shooting too but it cannot be compared what we are discussing here.

          • anon says:

            Most murderers HAVEN’T been brought to justice. Police are murderers too, they’re just allowed to do it. I’ve dealt with a fair number of cops in my day, and I’d say I feel safer without them than with them around.

        • Proud cop says:

          Last I checked, and I have, it is law enforcement who generally are first on scene of most accidents.

      • molee says:

        good cop, bad cop, they’re still cops.
        it’s potato/potat-oh, i guess.
        but that loses meaning when typed.. >__>

    • ch33sy says:

      riots ftw?

    • youranidiot says:

      all cops are bastards (children without fathers) because a cop was (probably) using LTL shots against whats most likely a rioter. next time, he should use a minigun with high explosive rounds. just to show you what a true bastard cop is.

    • Andrewc135 says:

      yo cops help our country stay together and safe!!!!!!!! but that pics looks like in mexico

  11. Marquizzo says:

    Notice the sign above the dude’s head that says “Edificio”, which means “building” in Spanish. It was probably taken in a Central/South American country. With that in mind, cops have the right to do whatever the hell they want to get that $20.00 bribe.

  12. gavortnik says:

    I hope to Christ that’s a beanbag round.

    • swed says:

      If this special shot was a beanbag round doesn’t make much difference, as there is still a lot people being shot by real shots. it would be nice for this certain guy, though :P

  13. eric says:

    I gues Marquizzo is right.
    However, police violence of this manner is a big fail but never funny.

  14. anon says:

    Even if that is a beanbag/rubber bullet, at that range it’s gonna hurt. In fact i’d be surprised it that didn’t do some permanent damage

  15. Tiberius says:

    Muzzle flash looks very untypical for a shotgun too…

  16. and the arse end of the flash from the shotgun looks out of place, it wouldnt give off a flash that big either, usually its a smaller but brighter flash.

    Friend in the military :)

  17. feckineejit says:

    police brutality FTW – get those hippies! How dare they exercise their right to demonstrate! :P

  18. Homer says:

    This is just the cop from the Courage Fail. He was pissed off after being shunned by the German police for being a wuss, so he moved to South America where he proceeded to shoot every jaywalker with a shotgun to establish how tough he is, being German and all. So it is a bigger fail because he was forced to move around the world to get respect again after cowering from the clown.

  19. YoNer says:

    Actually that photo is VERY real, iits from the riots of December 2001 here in Argentina, after a few very unpopular economic measures taken by the government, the people took the streets to protest and the police… well…they did their thing….mostly for lack of wits and proper leadership. All of this ended in president De La Rua stepping down from office fleeing from the government house in a chopper. This photo is one of many were the police was caught abusing their force.

  20. Anonymous says:

    looks more like a flamethrower than a shotgun!

  21. Flecfleclfec says:

    Oh my god! Haha… ermm… no, okay :D

  22. Lon3bonE says:

    looks like the lightning of the shotgun was taken from the afterburner of a rocket or sth. and as above said it doesnt seem to fit at the guns ending.
    and feckineejit: sorry, but im still using the internet, but at least i not try to be funny this time, thank you for seeing the greater picture

  23. Ahriman says:

    Uhmm, did anyone except me noticed the blood splattering on the leg? And the blood drops flying all around…

  24. SochiTsuzuki says:

    Ok :O that’s photoshop fail… rather shotgun aviudance fail… but if it’d be real.. omg xD

  25. Lon3bonE says:

    yeah the bloodplosion looks kind of real but the flash doesnt…wouldnt there be a greater entry wound?

  26. Lon3bonE says:

    wait a sec., whats up with his left hand? could it hit that? looks kind of blown off…

  27. pollardto says:

    the left hand is just turned inwards so you can’t see it. the setup of this shot looks like the cop was firing off the shot when this guy ran around from behind him. the uninterrupted trail of flame from the shotgun makes me think he didn’t even hit this guy, his shot is going alongside him

  28. YoNer says:

    I forgot to mention….the gun in this photo is shooting rubber bullets….which should be bounced of the ground and no even fired at such a close range

  29. Who the hell took this picture?

  30. Nate says:

    I didn’t know mexican shotguns fired light-sabers.

  31. Anonymous says:

    stoffe = hobby fail

  32. Dude! This is probably a Mexico City cop. They have this TV show like COPS in Mexico, except they actually show dudes getting blown apart by shotguns. It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen.

    Cartoons here: http://spinachflame.wordpress.com/

  33. Buttfinkle says:

    Not at all funny. The blog has really taken a turn for the worse. Fun while it lasted!

  34. Jalapeno A. Tartigal says:

    I am guessing that the round was a single slug round, or else that’s a flamethrower.

  35. Homer says:

    “This is my rifle; this is my gun. This is for shooting unarmed guys in shorts; this is for fun.”

  36. Jalapeno A. Tartigal says:

    If it is a flamethrower, they must have replaced it wit ha simple pump-action shotgun to hide what it was, so I’m thinking it was a slug round

  37. Jalapeno A. Tartigal says:

    If it is a flamethrower, they must have replaced it with a simple pump-action shotgun to hide what it was, so I’m thinking it was a slug round
    Sorry, using very bad connection AND Windows Vista, so I can’t see what I’m typing

  38. feckineejit says:

    Lon3bonE even though you have a alphanumeric name, meaning you must be totally L33T and under 14 I will take you under my wing and teach you all there is to know about internetting.

    lesson 1) keyboard + anonymity = douchebag
    lesson 2) don’t be a douchebag
    lesson 3) don’t piss off the feckineejit

  39. ROB says:

    I haven’t read all the comments so maybe someones mentioned it but does anyone else see the red colour above his leg? Could it be blood spray?

  40. Keelhaul says:

    Lame post police….cleaning up the bloggernet.

  41. jdmasters says:

    That is crazy! Notice the complete concentration on the cops face he is biting his lip and taking careful aim at his target. I say this is a protestor fail.

  42. Legion says:

    If we’re going to get technical about muzzle flashes, then shouldn’t the muzzle flash be wider for such a large flash? I could be wrong but the flame from a muzzle flash would expand past a certain point due to air pressure from the round following it?

  43. bPawn says:

    more pump action please!

  44. [...] Shotgun Avoidance Fail Thanks to Diogo for: [image] [...]

  45. Marquizzo says:

    So, we all agree this is not really a fail?

  46. liljoeyster says:

    those damn cubins :D

  47. liljoeyster says:

    :MRGREEN

  48. liljoeyster says:

    :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

  49. liljoeyster says:

    ya i learned how to make faces:A

  50. liljoeyster says:
  51. liljoeyster says:

    :D

  52. liljoeyster says:

    :P
    He He

  53. liljoeyster says:

    :)

  54. Gaba says:

    this fail is in brazil
    lol

  55. Dark says:

    Man, that is one strange pic.

  56. steve says:

    Whichever way you look at it, this is not a fail.

    This is a picture of someone being shot.

  57. lonebone says:

    yeah victims left hand is turned inwards, but also looks a little scorched and reddish, maybe the red cloud is the rest of his fingers.
    but like dark said, the flash of the gun looks weird, doesnt seem to attach properly on the guns end…

  58. Brandon says:

    I think it did hit him because you you can like see blood on the other side. The rest of the shot is gonna like tear him in half.

  59. feckineejit says:

    If you ever see me get beaten up by a cop, PUT DOWN THE CAMERA AND HELP ME. – Bobcat Goldthwait.

  60. strateia says:

    Methinks this is a “fail” on the webmaster. Every other post here is a prayer to Schadenfreude; that’s the beauty of it. But if you feel any Schadenfreude while seeing *this* post, you scare me.

    As for the comments: After #21 verified the pic – even explained the situation, for cryin’ out loud – some of youse are still bickering about whether the discharge looks real??? Come on!

    OK, YoNer *could* be bluffing. But somehow I don’t think so, and for now I’m siding with him/her.

  61. liljoeyster says:

    fuck your grandma Dark you gay hore. :mrgreen: :lol:

  62. liljoeyster says:

    How do you like this Dark :D

  63. bridex says:

    OMFG. Brutal.

  64. fark says:

    #68. The story is verrified, but not the actual photograph in question. There are plenty of times when “journalists” use doctored images to exaggerate or draw attention to a peoples plight, an “ends justify the means” ethics code.

    That being said, the image it self is implying this man is being shot regardless of contextual accuracy. I’ll go to bat to defend fail boat whereever it may be, but attempt on a persons life is not funny ever.

  65. Caimera says:

    i really cant see the FAIL in this picture im sorry it just dosn’t seem real to me.

  66. alma says:

    this photo is digusting… please take it offline

  67. pandiopa says:

    bueno eso casi fue un asesinato que barbaro a un tipo desarmado

  68. fark says:

    In Short, it being real doesn’t matter. Its a picture of a dude getting shot. Fake or real, that’s what we see.

  69. Dark says:

    …pretty much.

  70. Pier says:

    That’s not fail, that’s Owned
    ripped btw from:
    http://www.failblog.justgotowned.com

  71. Dark says:

    Another Dark, he’s just trying to see if he can beat the world record for failing as many times as possible in a 24hr period.

  72. choandab says:

    welcome to Bali…Live Online Training Session

  73. Xmarks says:

    I guess pollardto @30 is right. The cop was aiming someone/where else. If that flash had hit the scared-to-death-guy in the picture, wouldn’t it probably ricochet and spread out? I’m only guessing…

  74. alsur says:

    hey that´s an argentinian pic taken at the riots of december 2001.
    The cop is aiming someone else, but is not photoshop!

  75. Matt says:

    FAKE!! EPIC FAKE!!!! The original was just a guy running away from the cop with the gun, someone added the muzzle flash.

    • Anonymous says:

      actually i think the cop had just shot the guy, the picture was taken too late so someone added the muzzle flash to emphasise the shooting. real or fake police brutality is not funny

  76. bxt says:

    Actually, it looks to me like the cop is blasting at someone else, not seen in this picture. The guy running is simpy getting his arse out of the line of fire. I say this cos the flames spewing from the shotgun are in the foreground, IN FRONT of the running dude. not to be a spoiler or anything ;) it’s the idea that counts

  77. Johnny says:

    There are enough genuine fails out there to not need fake ass pics like this.

  78. don says:

    F&*k the police…

  79. Dave says:

    so you cant swear here anymore.

  80. Anonymous says:

    look at the position of the feet. the cop is shooting something off camera, the guy running is about 3 feet to the left of him, nowhere near the trajectory/crossfire of what is being hit.

  81. Richard Barnett says:

    OK, look closer gang. From the relative positions of the two people (look at where they are on the tiles), it is obvious that the officer is NOT firing at the running man in the photo, but at someone else out of the frame. The “blood splatter” doesn’t look like blood to me, but instead looks like the projectiles. If you are experienced with shotgunning, you will have experienced being able to see your shot stream leave the muzzle (instructors can look over your shoulder and see where it is going). The muzzle flash looks fairly normal to me, as it should to most anyone who has ever been duck hunting at sunrise when shooting hours begin. It can be QUITE dramatic! :) My guess is, given the angle he is firing at, the officer IS perhaps firing bean bags or rubber shot at the groung ten yards or so away.

    Love the site, though… :)

  82. dragonkitteh_leelee says:

    wow. is this a real photo? if so, i’d really like to know the story behind it.

  83. Anonymous says:

    I hope that’s a real shell he’s about to get hit with, cuz he probably deserves it.

  84. Diogo says:

    The sign says “Edifício Histórico”, which means “historic building”, in portuguese.

  85. DullJack says:

    This is to Lulz, who posted: “Last I checked, firefighters pull people out of car wrecks, and when has a cop ever stopped a rape that was in progress? Fail.”

    http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080521/NEWS/80521110/1001/rss

    http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/2004/05/20/2004-05-20_hero_cop_stops_rape_of_girl_.html

    You fucking Jackass.

  86. Tim says:

    I know this photo is supposed to be real, but I do see a few things wrong with it :S
    Mostly, some of the things already mentioned but also the camera flash puts a shadow on the cop, but the gun flash can’t even put a shadow on the running guy? I smell a rat…

  87. Redmond Dude says:

    This is called a warning shot. Get over it.

  88. BALLS says:

    NOTHING FUNNY ABOPUT THIS PIC YOU TWAT

  89. BALLS says:

    EVERYTHING FUNNY ABOPUT THIS PIC YOU TWAT

  90. Juggles says:

    Thank you Richard Barnett. Taking a look at the pic, especially the floor tiles and the angle of the gun, the cop is obviously firing down towards the bottom right corner. The other guy is just Running Like Hell behind him.

  91. BrandonD says:

    Last I checked, the large fiery thing doesn’t go that far out of a shotgun, nor does it go above the barrel. Even if it did, how do you miraculously take a picture in that fraction of a second? Probably photoshop
    I agree with Juggles too :P

  92. :) says:

    ahhh nothin like a good shave

  93. Grevus says:

    Photoshoped but still fail. It looks like a ray gun baced off of the beam…thing.

  94. Vetrina says:

    FAIL Blog failed at realizing it was Photoshopped.

  95. Wolftail says:

    Even if it WAS real, there’s nothing funny about SHOOTING someone.

  96. Q says:

    Don’t shoot me, bro!

  97. Tsukana says:

    Everything is funny about shooting someone.

    Especially with lzrs.

    IMA

    FIRIN

    MUH

    LZR.

  98. someone says:

    even at point blank he still misses with a shotgun…
    gotta be photoshopped or he is just really blind

  99. Ciba says:

    It’s amazing the amount of firearms experts there are in this failblog, even more so the amount of graphic artist/photographers that are present and lending thier expertise.
    Also interesting the amount of people who obviously either didn’t read the full blog, or just decided to ignore that this happened around Dec 2001, in Argentina during a riot, as above posters have said.

    The only funny thing about this photo is the FAIL-EXPERTS discussing muzzle flash, ammunition, and OMG…one person at the start mentioned “entry wound”.

  100. Herder of Hypocrites says:

    Fake much. Fail little.
