I am the assassin. Say my name.

The power seat rebuttal was great!

Here's my threat barrier:

The female cop has an extremely annoying voice. I admit her technique worked. BTW I always check the backseat and under the car. Raised in an urban environment.

I'm thinking this is a joke? Along w/ the technique? And we're supposed to just watch and laugh?
Or are we filing this for future practice?
I loved the ending. Got a good laugh.

The best solution is a steel plate hidden in the roof over the rear seat. Then you install a Bond Ejector seat in the rear. Hit the button and the assassin is smashed quite forcefully into the roof and his neck is snapped in the process. Problem Solved.

An actual assassin would not use a belt or a rope. He would use piano wire. But it's doubtful whether an actual assassin could hide in my pickup truck. He'd have to be really skinny.

I don't have a backseat

I have too much crap in my backseat.

Beware the biscuit dough assassin.........

wouldn't the assassin be busy trying to kill you ??? not just being a prop???

Hahaha! That's unexpected and hilarious!

For the win. Ha !

I think I'm gonna be thinking about this and chuckle each time it pops into my head, as much as I may try to forget it.

Yes. It's safety theater. Stupid tips and tricks that make people feel safer/better, but have no actual bearing on safety or self defense in a real life-or-death situation.

These kinds of things are all over the place, like teaching women to stick their keys between their knuckles when they walk to their car, or demonstrating some 12-step process supposedly intended to allow them to wriggle their way out of a rear naked choke. No real benefit if they are attacked by a determined aggressor, especially one that's significantly more physically powerful than them, but it makes them feel like they're "doing something" and therefore feel much better about themselves. Just like the folks that go to a 60 minute "self defense class" that's offered by their local community center, do a couple reps of some basic martial arts moves, and then believe that they're fully prepared to confront a violent assailant. It does nothing except make them feel better.

Likewise, folks can watch this "police training video" that was shown in the first half, and then tell themselves: "Oh, good... Now I'll be safe if I'm ever attacked from my backseat!" as they trundle about their daily lives.


The second half showing the guy's humorous response is perfect. It's funny and clever, and easily displays how idiotic this "tip" is.

I try not to be important enough to get assassinated.

Murdered, maybe.

But don't think I'll ever be assassinated.

One weird trick assassins don't want you to know.
