Yes the cop was wrong, stupid etc........But so was the rider for coming to a dead stop just because the white car wanted to change lanes.

Yeah, looks like someone wanted to be a victim and went out of his way to make it happen.

Cop was still a douche, but so was the rider (in his actions riding the bike, at least). In the end, one big NO CARE for the whole situation.

Except if a cop rolled up on that same accident caused by a civilian there is a pretty good chance the cop would be delivering a lecture about how someone could have been killed and the dangers of following too close along with a citation. I don't have a problem with the accident itself, shit happens. I take issue with the cop bullying and threatening to avoid his culpability, holding himself to a different standard than anyone else who screws up, and that nobody cares that this seems to be SOP for cops.

Ha. Watched the news on a dude getting hit by a car and while the investigation was going on, a drunk dumbass runs into a park patrol car. LOL. Stupid tattooes on his face.

Exactly why I said the cop was a douche.

What an odd compilation of half thoughts. I especially liked the smooth segue to the part about somebody's tattoo. Masterful communication.

Was that news local, Ed?

His actions go well beyond "being a douche" in my view.

We all have an inner-Lee. Some days he's just harder to ignore.
