idea that you were a cop.

Oh.

What do you mean?

We're more than cops.

Yeah, we help all

the intense units.

The other day,

we were on a 5150...

a sawed-off shotgun, right?

Bang,bang,bang!

Dude, what are you-

I look behind me

and J-Rock...

Hie-cops?

Yeah.

a donut?

Now find me those cops.

Police

hand signals are crucial

in life-threatening

situations.

The most important

hand signal is Code 4.

Code 4 means,

"All clear.

"We're all good here."

Code 4. All clear.

What is Code 387?

Grand The.

What is Code 287?

Kidnapping.

Watch your surroundings.

Control the situation.

Remember the

3 essential steps of self-defense.

Absolutely. It's all the

technique I told you about.

Okay?

Let's may, Joey.

Try to kill me.

You're the bad guy. You're

the crackhead, I'm the cop. Go.

Come at me.

Come at me.

You stabbed me, you

Whoo!

All right!

What you got going, my dude?

Whatever

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, sh*t, dude.

I'm getting pulled over.

Play it cool, Chang.

Play it cool? I can't

play it cool. I'm black!

Turn off

the engine and step out of the car.

Okay. I'm getting out.

Hands on top of your head.

Okay-

Are you

wearing an LAPD uniform?

Officer, I can explain-

Turn around!

Spread your legs.

Don't fight it!

Officer,

what are you doing?

Whoo!

Officer!

I'm gonna ride you!

0h, my gosh!

What is wrong with you?

You should have

seen your face, man!

Wow. Where did

you get this?

eBay, dude.

eBay? Yeah,

there's tons of them.

Isn't this so illegal?

No.

Well, I mean, yeah.

Putting the lights on

kind of is.

I had to do that myself.

What about the LAPD sh*t.

Got it online.

Then I went to Kinko's.

Kinko's?

Plastered it on myself.

This is crazy, dude.

Some next level sh*t
