As a police officer, he gets to do that. This footage proves just how bad a director Michael Bay is. If he'd have taken his head out of his ass and realized that the officer was not part of the shot, he could have stopped the scene and avoided the accident. Good job Mike. Way to endanger lives.
Stop. Just stop.
If you watched the video and still came to that conclusion, then you're clearly unreachable and being stubborn simply to do so.
Until this film, Michael Bay has had an incredible track record when it comes to filming safety. Close calls, yes, but people came out unscathed. This movie is the first time he's ever had a serious problem.
You should be ashamed of yourself, you're using this cop's misfortune as a means to let your opinion run rampant. You don't like Bay? Fine. Keep it to yourself. That's not what this thread is about. If you want to dog him out, open another thread or something, this is not the place.
Oh, and it's the cop's fault. He ran into that scene like a crazy person and caused a wreck. I hope he's doing well and makes a full recovery, of course, but it's still his fault. Where were his sirens? Why didn't anyone in law enforcement contact the set and say there was a bomb threat and that they have an officer en route? Bay works with cops, military, etc, and has a close relationship with them. He respects them, he puts them on pedestals, and he most certainly would've shut down the production for the day to let the police do their job.
This accident did several things:
1.) Injured a cop. (Again, I hope he's doing well and makes it!)
2.) Wrecked a police vehicle. (Which I'm sure the taxpayers will have to foot the bill for.)
3.) Wrecked a studio prop. (Bumblebee, in this form, was made specifically for the production and is not a production model from GM. I can't even imagine the price tag.)
4.) Put the other stunt drivers, and pedestrians watching, in danger.
All they had to do was tell them that a cop was on his way, responding to a bomb threat. They'd have given him full access without incident. Instead, he barreled through the scene, caused an accident that could've been catastrophic, and caused possibly millions in damage.
None of that is Bay's fault.
Your post is full of fail sir. Good day.
