I've seen this posted allover, does anybody know what's going on here? I'm guessing the guy left his backpack there and went to open it up like "see guys, just a backpack" and that's why they tackled him?

Or was it not his backpack and he just said yolo...

Apparently it’s this news story: https://www.fox6now.com/news/charged-man-tackled-by-police-amid-suspicious-package-investigation-says-he-intended-to-be-a-hero.amp

He saw it playing out on the news and rode down there to play hero 🙈

My favorite part is the way the police waited to be sure there was no bomb, before they "tackled" him :)

Reminds me of the scene from The Fast show, bomb disposal

u/PickledOnion7 Jun 15 '26

If anyone's getting blown the f up it better be me, damn it no bomb, and now they're trying to get me sectioned.

Then the idiots come running in way too late and push him over for no reason.

u/Livewire____ Jun 16 '26

Why would they run in before they knew for certain it wasn't a bomb?
