And then there's folks like me, who remember the bad behavior of the cops that do shit like shoot people's dogs...just the flipside of how a few bad apples can spoil the whole bunch, huh?

Little different though in that this is a hobby, albeit a passionate one for us whereas this is a guys liveleyhood.

I may be a bit more pro cop than others here but seeing the shit that goes on in the shithole community I work in I gotta side wit hthem a bit more since theres a distinct possibility they may not make it home on a given night.

Sending a cop to the morgue is never a fun thing (or anyone for that matter) and have seen it done 4 times since I graduated and most of us kinda hope the skells who did it die a long painful death.

No, it just sounds like KKK/Black Panther propaganda... Because of the actions of a minority, we should treat the entire group as if they are all the same. For someone who makes wild attempts to appear enlightened on so many fronts, this is quite a short-sighted view.

This story seems pretty straightforward. Cop doing his job, punks giving everyone on two wheels a bad rep, cop crashes gets injured, and punk motherfuckers demonstrate that they are not just punks, but punks x 10^9 by TURNING around... not to see if the guy's alright (ie. being a decent human being) but rather to taunt the guy. Seriously, a fucking 5-year old knows right/wrong better than these fucking retards.

I call it like I see it - cop right/wrong... others right/wrong. This demonstrates the other side of the story - what drives cops to be dicks. Maybe for some it's a power trip and they are just fucking assholes... maybe for others it's the constant barrage of fucking stupidity and hate in general that gets spewed in their direction. There aren't very many jobs you have where you 1) deal directly with the lowest forms of human life on a daily basis, 2) are potentially walking into a bullet to the head every day you go to work, and 3) 90% of the general public fucking hates you regardless if you are doing a fucking impeccable job or you just beat Rodney King with a flashlight.

Bottom line... the vast majority of cops are good, hardworking middle class Americans like most of us. The general public and the media love nothing more than to shit upon them every chance they get - right or wrong. I've seen probably as many videos posted online about police brutality and power trips that were just ordinary people doing their job against extra ordinary stupidity as I have seen videos that show police in the wrong - and most of those are questionable.

Meh, too many cops shooting people's dogs in the last five minutes. They kinda lost my support. I don't know Todd, maybe he's a nice guy. If there were more like him, maybe there'd be less folks inclined to think like me.

Millions of cop interactions with dogs, drug dealers, innocent people, etc, etc... and it's the 5 videos people put on Youtube sells you that all cops are bad.

Quite a nice coat of wool you have there Av...

I think it would be rather refreshing to meet, or even hear about a nice cop.

All too often, I've only been hearing about the bad ones. Far too often, I've come in contact with them personally.

Had one stand on my front porch, and lie straight to my face and right in front of my then-11-year-old daughter, about how he would handle a traffic case we were involved in. He even lied to the local paper! I have the article saved...

Protect and serve my ass.

For the record, I wasn't talking about cops who kill bikers that run. I'm talking about innocents killed when chases go bad, like a recent case in my area where an innocent (and completely uninvolved) woman, and her 5-year-old daughter were killed.

That shit needs to stop. These fuckers think they are supercops, and end up endangering the populace just as much as the perps.

Sorry, I remain completely fucking unmoved by this oh-so-sad story.

I'd like to see the dash cam to see IF I could tell if it happened like the officer states. Did he really wreck due to avoiding running over the two bikes that cut him off ? Did a guy really come back and taunt him ? The dash cam probably wouldn't help with the guy coming back part but maybe we could hear him ?

IF TRUE this is a really fvcked up story. IF the motorcycle guy really did make the effort to come back and then taunt the injured officer...he deserves to die.

Sure there are some dishonest...corrupt officers but if you think about how many police officers there are in this country...it's still just a small percentage. I know SEVERAL good police officers and also a FEW that aren't...but the good ones far out number the bad ones.

How about the military ? I see where the one Marine threw the puppy off of the bridge or over a hill or something like that...I see where some military guys killed innocent civilians or another service members...humm so now I wonder if the ENTIRE US military is bad and deserves to suffer and die ?

This is ignorant thinking to say the least.

No more ignorant than the prevailing attitude in this country that all bikers are outlaws...
