Boston cop slide
In August, images of a police officer careening down a slide in Boston went viral on Twitter. It’s a bizarre video. The cop is moving so fast that one reporter contacted a physicist to explore how it was even possible for his body to achieve so much velocity (the answers were unsatisfying, it’s truly weird). One thing is clear; it looks like it hurt, and reports suggest the unfortunate slider sustained minor injuries. It’s perfect fodder for memeing, and the results are among the few actually good memes the internet produced this year.
