Every year is a crazy year in L.A., but 2015 brought us a horse chase-turned-police beating, an acrobatic motorcyclist, a slow moving “victory parade,” and much, much more.

There are a lot of things people will tell you define Los Angeles — beaches, palm trees, plastic surgery, kale, gentrification, yoga mats. But there's something more L.A. than all of those things combined: police chases.
Maybe it's because chases represent the convergence of the city's iconic freeways, Nightcrawler-esque news culture, and entertainment, but they've become a big and often weekly part of the culture here in the City of Angels, covered relentlessly from helicopters in the sky.
There were too many chases in 2015 to list them all, but here are a few of the ones that stood out, from offroading to a galloping horse.
March: An acrobatic motorcyclist flipped off the police.
Police chased 22-year-old Phillip Resendez across two Southern California counties in March, sometimes at speeds of over 100 mph. Resendez eventually surrendered, but first he repeatedly stood on the motorcycle seat and flipped off the pursuing officers.
Police reportedly first began chasing Resendez because he was driving recklessly.
