  1. PINGAS says:

    first oh yes it tastes good

  2. fluffy says:

    *facepalm*

  3. al says:

    it can’t be avoided

  4. Austin says:

    DARN!

  5. Theresa says:

    I live in this town and believe me, I AM NOT SURPRISED! Klamtucky, The Deep South of the Northwest, you name it, HICKVILLE> Surprised it took this long to be on Failblog!

  6. dazza says:

    is it just me or does anyone else like to think that everyone on this blog is the same person and, we or he just argues with him, her it’s self together.
    Or like how they all agree with eachother, if it’s more than one, which i dont like to think, i prefer its all just one person called garry from london. Which finds it amusing to be horrible 2 biritish people, even though he is british but now lives on the statue of liberty. Whcih is a bit iron since that was given by the french, (I THINK I DONT KNOW i mean i think ur all one person) and everyone hates french people :D

  7. Austin says:

    was really feeling the first today. And now let the ensuing lame story telling of the nerds commence with your *hugs* and what not. ridiculous

  8. moxter says:

    *facepalms*

  9. marco says:

    How is this a fail?!? Seems pretty logical to me.

  10. Doc says:

    I feel so ashamed to live in Klamath Falls now…

    Also I think that cop is my neighbor. :D

  11. PINGAS says:

    how does he drink beard? my beard dont grow fast enough for drink?

  12. RJO123 says:

    OMG, if i was the cop i would have tased him.

  13. Dargus says:

    That was unwarranted.

  14. Reaps says:

    He had probably just necked all the coke and pills in the car and needed something to swill it down with :D

  15. Ebilcat says:

    Hell, at that point you might as well finish your beer..it’ll be your last one for quite a while after that!

  16. Cleversprite says:

    This seems like a reasonable thing to do. By drinking the beer in front of the cop the guy makes it difficult for a DUI charge to stick since he may not have been OTL before drinking it. The cop may have a gun pointed at him but he can’t exactly shoot the guy for not putting the beer down.

    Having said that, I’ll bet he got the crap beaten out of him back at the station…

    • Raymond says:

      if you get pulled over for dui, grab some empties and a few full ones and run into the woods, then you can claim you drank them out in the woods (out of camera view.

    • 17-A says:

      Cleversprite lives up to his name!

      I heard about a case where a drunk crashed his car in the woods, then sat on the hood with his bottle of booze and waited for the cops to show up. Once they could see him, he took a big drink from the bottle. Criminal charges were dropped because the officers’ statements said he drank an “unknown quantity” of alcohol, and were therefore unable to prove he was drunk when he was driving.

  17. Aja says:

    Excuse me while I kiss this guy.

  18. katz says:

    Save water, drink beer!

  19. Dirk says:

    Wow, noble cop pointing a gun to a drunk. God save America.

  20. Chaz Self says:

    That is not just beer that is a PBR Wisconsin’s finest. Also the cover of PBR Street Gang 7inch.

    Connie for LIFE!!!!

  21. dahumanz says:

    are police officers allowed to point a gun at anyone? the guy didnt did anything (except drink and drive)…
    he didnt killed anybody or somethin.
    if a police officer would do that here in germany, he would go to jail for the rest of his live.

    • Critter Rhode says:

      In the text under the picture, it said that the truck was thought to be stolen at the time. So when the person got out with something in his hand, the police officer to a precaution.
      I have seen on the web videos where the driver threw the beer or other things at the officer, when they went to attack the officer.

      • Critter Rhode says:

        *officer took a precaution.* sorry

      • dahumanz says:

        yeah ok… I think because of the fact, that almost evryone can buy a gun in a supermarked and the crime rate is a “little bit” higher… thats quite ok.
        maybe it would be better, if police officers would be a little better prepared and careful here, because they seem to wait until the crime has happened and after that they come into action… (when its too late)

        thank you!

  22. Chris says:

    Lovely. I’ve seen this before, and I know the cop. Sadly, things like this happen in my crap town of Klamath Falls on a fairly regular basis.

  23. brewdogg says:

    I live in Klamath Falls and I remember seeing this in the paper. This is just another example of the fine upstanding people you will meet in K-town. I don’t blame the officer for pointing a gun at him either. Normaly if the person isn’t drunk, there tweeking, or both. If you think this is in any way out of the ordinary in Klamath then you obviously havn’t been here before.

    • UnhappyVegemite says:

      Meh if its anything like some of the country towns over here in Australia then there is probably one copper covering a 1000 square miles of territory and about 4 pubs for every person one of which houses the only cop for 1000 square miles :P

      • JimmyMcJimbo says:

        And we wouldn’t have it any other way!

        Well… except for your use of “miles”, its kilometres fool. We adopted the metric system 50 odd years ago, get with the times.

  24. Cris says:

    WIN! =)

  25. Big Al says:

    This is a ‘win’ technically – if he was drunk, no way to prove that he was over the limit PRIOR to that beer…

  26. edmonddantes says:

    Win. That guy is bad ass.

  27. -Redsands- says:

    “Resisting arrest” – don’t cops just charge everyone with this trumped up charge now days?

  28. Jeremy says:

    This is far from a fail!!! There is a loophole in the current laws that allow you to get off a drink driving charge if you drink an undisclosed amount of alcohol after leaving the vehicle but before being breathelized. The cop is unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the driver was drunk behind the wheel, as he may have only been drunk after exiting when he drank that drink. They can get him with street drinking, but not a pissy driving charge…. smart, smart man

    • Jeremy says:

      but alcohol doesn’t take hold immediately, so can’t they prove drunkenness via a more direct test?

      • JimmyMcJimbo says:

        Well the alcohol left in his mouth is enough for a blow in the bag to go over (& obviously swab test too).
        And they cant force you to do a blood test just for alcohol. Even if they could, by the time they get you to the station for the test is enough time for it to enter your bloodstream.
        Piss in the cup test is not accurate for alcohol, it can detect the presence, but how much is effected by water/diet/kidneys/liver/kebab.
        & they cant force you to do that either.
        The only accepted test is blow in the bag (eg. count to 5 into the machine).

  29. Stuuuupid says:

    Good for him. F-ck the police.

  30. Jeremy says:

    Kudos to the photojournalist for being there right at the perfect moment

  31. Gonzo says:

    It is a WIN! In the text underneath: it is a passenger and no one else was arrested but the driver!

  32. Nic says:

    Certainly looks like a free country….

  33. Rude Jackass says:

    That damn pic has been around forever, can’t believe something that old and well used was posted on failblog. Sure its funny but its been around awhile.

  34. jona says:

    this counts as a win in my book :)

  35. JamesMuliz says:

    I used to live in that town! O.O

  36. jovanni says:

    why is it necessary to point a gun at someone who is drinking?

  37. jesta says:

    i’d call that a win: “well if i’m gettin arrested i might as well finish my beer since it doesn’t make a difference!”

  38. Steve! says:

    This is actually a good defense against drunk driving. If you are pulled over and you know you’re going to get a DUI, grab an unopened beer, step out of your vehicle and close the door behind you. Then, in front of the police, open the beer and slam it back before you take the breathalizer. You can argue that any readings taken have been compromised by you taking that drink. You get a sober friend to get you home and you’re off!

  39. Loki says:

    HAHA white people

  40. Rose says:

    I aspire to be this man.

  41. Rob says:

    WOOOO!!! GO OREGON!!! SETTING HIGH STANDARDS AS USUAL!!!
    I live in K Falls, this is basically an everyday thing.

  42. Bertrand says:

    Only in America: The drunk is an enornous danger to the officer. That is why the latter has to hold his weapon onto him.

  43. holly says:

    I love that this happened not too far from where I used to live…and in my home state – Oregon! :shock:
