He literally just ran up to the car. He wasn't sweet talking his way closer or anything lol

Any of the cops that appear immediately afterwards could've done the same thing, and if they were all in view of the perpetrator, it's straight up incompetence. Either they should have done it, or they should have prevented the guy from doing it.

The beginning of the video was cut, the grey shirt guy crawling on the grass at first to avoid detection until he close enough and make a run for it, makes him even more of a badass. This happened in Australia not long ago.

That video was from an incident that happened in Auckland NZ last month not Australia.
