It's a K-9 unit. Sure hope the dog is OK.
Why are they covering the car, btw, what are they afraid of, sun damage?!!

What's also funny that the SUV could drive away, but the cop had to go to the hospital, while bumblebee obviously couldn't be driven but the stunt drive was just fine. I watched the video quite a bit and that SUV really got jostled there.

i guess that it boils down to that the stunt driver has been trained on how to take a hit?

Most small cars are built as one giant crumple zone. Impacts are dispersed laterally along the chassis meaning that the vehicle itself absorbs and then dissipates the energy of a collision. This is why small cars are often "totaled" in even lower speed impacts but you rarely hear of small car fatalities, or even loss of consciousness events. Conversely, big vehicles are all solid steel and hardness and unibody construction and don't crumple or dissipate by any other means much at all. The result of this is that the vehicles come through impacts often looking near perfect or having only single-panel damage, but guess what happens to the occupants? That's right, all of the energy from an impact rolls right into and through the cabin rather than around it, and is then absorbed by the occupant's bodies. This is why a big vehicle can look pretty good but the occupants may not walk away, or do walk away but with significant soft tissue and organ bruising. Look at it this way: I have 2 well-off buddies that work deep within the auto insurance industry. Both drive vehicles that weigh less than 3,000 pounds and rent the same when they travel. They don't even like to ride in the bigger vehicles when we have road trips.

I figured a small vehicle is like a watermelon since its all tightly packed when hit it just explodes. Plus stunt driver was probably wearing protective gear. That camaro got turned into shit from like a glancing blow lol
