Right down the street from my house yesterday a cop was turning onto our street and pulls right out in front of the biker. Hits him head on. The guy was riding a new Honda but still a motorcycle.
We heard the sirens after other cops responded and walked down to see what was going on. It was a young chick cop and she was standing there, beside her cruiser with a grin. I couldn't get over the fact that she had this chit eating grin and didn't look remorsefull in the least.
The biker walked to the ambulance then got taken to the hospital. I think he is alright but screwed up his elbow pretty good.
I looked in our paper today to see if it was mentioned at all about a cop pulling out in front of a motorcycle, it wasn't mentioned at all. Not even in the policecalls part.
Wow, has it been a week already since the last Cop Bashing Thread. Yada Yada Yada
Now that wasnt nice... just cuz yer a doctor is no reason to deny bad doctors exist... da same with cops... Cops deserve to be bashed when bashing is properly placed... god knows the cops wont critizise themselves... [/rant off] [8D]
Maybe, Kolni, but the point of THIS thread is what Earthdog says happened down the street from his house. I'm calling BS because his story sounds wrong.
