It's A Mirage: Check Out Eric Casebolt Barrel-Rolling To The Beastie Boys' Sabotage.

All seriousness having to do with the way the McKinney Police Department broke up a bunch of teenagers' end-of-school-year pool party aside, one thing we can all agree on is that the now-retired Corporal Eric Casebolt's barrel-roll/trip in the opening seconds of the caught-on-camera action is just downright bizarre.

Really, it's the exact kind of behavior the Beastie Boys might lampoon in, say, one of the single greatest music videos of all time.

Which is why this brilliant “Sabotage”-set Vine edit of the McKinney footage is just so goddamn rewatchable. Check it out.

What they say is true: The best ideas are always right in front of your face. Major props to Vine user and Philadelphia-based blogger Brian Hickey for putting the two and two together.
