Smooth-talking escapee evades police

Woe is Carl Bordelon, a police officer for the town of Ball, La. His dashboard camera captured (below) his questioning of Richard Lee McNair, 47, on Wednesday. Earlier that same day, McNair had escaped from a federal penitentiary at nearby Pollock, La., reportedly hiding in a prison warehouse and sneaking out in a mail van. Bordelon, on the lookout, stopped McNair when he saw him running along some railroad tracks. What follows is a chillingly fascinating performance from McNair, who manages to remain fairly smooth and matter-of-fact while tripping up Bordelon. The officer notices that the guy matches the description of McNair -- who was serving a life sentence for killing a trucker at a grain elevator in Minot, N.D., in 1987 -- observes that he looked like he'd "been through a briar patch" and had to wonder why he would choose appalling heat (at least according to that temperature gauge in the police car) to go running, without any identification, on a dubious 12-mile run. But he doesn't notice when McNair changes his story -- he gives two different names (listen for it) -- and eventually, Bordelon bids him farewell, saying: "Be careful, buddy." McNair remains on the loose. (Note: Video is more than eight minutes long but worth it.)

He says, "no you're going to tell me something today tough guy." I said, "I'll tell you something. Go fuck your mother."

The first time that I ever saw this video was on "Court TV" now called TrueTV. I remember how cool McNair was, even having a sense of humor throughout and being very descriptive of locations as if he knew every street. I remember at the end of the video as McNair and the officer were moving along, the nararator said "GAME.......SET........MATCH..­................McNair!!!! That was so funny LOL

@fdhghv THANK YOU! It was already stated that McNair knew how to fight very well and was a murderer, I think Carl knew exactly what he was doing and everyone else is just being ignorant; it's easier to say what you would have done but ya'll wern't in his position.

@jormis95 0-0 HE's NOT fat!! He's well built.

This would never go like this if he was black. They would have shot him before they could put the car into park.
