The mechanics of a police chase are usually pretty clear: one car, driven by the suspect, goes as fast as it can trying to get rid of its pursuers, while the police cruisers wait for the right time to make their move and immobilize the perpetrator.
This SUV driver right here is trying to re-write these age-old laws by spicing thing up and attempting to become the hunter for a few brief moments. He decides that the police cars are a bit too close for his liking, so it's time for a bit of brake checking. Yes, that'll scare them.
Only his plan has a very big flaw that comes in the shape of the bull-bars mounted in front of police cruisers. Those cars are built for ramming, unlike the rear of an SUV, so the moment the suspect hits those brakes, the eyes of the officer probably light up with excitement. Because, say what you will, ramming a car must be immensely satisfying. Especially if not only you won't go to jail for it, but you actually get paid to do it.
After the first time it happens, there is a cut in the video and we're taken a bit forward in time. The SUV is still in front, but its behind looks even more battered, which would indicate that that wasn't the only time the two cars got very intimate.
In the end, that ideal situation we were talking about in the beginning presents itself, and the officer takes advantage. He blocks the SUV's from returning on the road, forcing it to stop or run into a lake. Fortunately, the suspect chooses the latter option, which only makes this clip that more entertaining.
There is also an explanation for all this unusual behavior: according to the police, the driver was under the influence of drugs. Don't do drugs, m'kay?
