      Like the spike strip was going to gently slow the bike(s) down and maneuver them out of each others’ way?

      Completely devoid of reality, indeed.

      How do those fascist boots taste, you carbrained idiot?

        You legit think the cop thought “Hey, let me kill these kids!”

        Did you even go outside as a kid? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve fallen off a bike at those slow speeds. Not even close to a death sentence. If falling at those speeds scares you, you are either 80 years old, or 300 pounds.

        Calling me fascist is hilarious 😂

        Are you gunna pose an actual argument? Or are you gunna act like an insecure internet child slinging insults?

        Carbrained? Wow you can’t stay on topic can you.

          Yes, I absolutely do think that. Exhibit A are all the people in this thread that think attempted murder is an acceptable penalty for a child riding recklessly on a bicycle. Seeing as cops tend to have far less empathy than the human average, I would expect them to be less worried about civilian safety than the people in this thread. The folks in this thread are advocating summary execution for traffic violations, so I see no reason a cop wouldn’t do the same.

            People fall off motorbikes all the time, and usually get a few bruises, if that. If riding a motorbike was anywhere near as dangerous as you think, it would be considered an extreme sport.

              Ususally there are not 30+ other Bikes in very close Proximity when you fall of. The Argument isnt, that a bike with a flat tire will Explode in Flames, it is, that in this Situation the first bike would get significantly slowed down by a flat tire, the second bike would crash into the first and a few other bikes would then run over the fallen down. Perfectly Predictably.

                Once again, that’s on the riders behind. These dumbasses fall off by themselves often enough that they should be ready for that.

          Yes, I think the cop went full Judge Dredd and didn’t consider who he would injure or how bad.

          I’ve posted an argument and you’ve called me a three hundred pound 80-year-old (so what if I am?).

          Your carbrain is completely obvious. And if you think the officer was justified in possibly killing people (for what perceived offense?), guess what? Fascist, too.

            You have pretty poor reading comprehension if you think I called you a 300 pound 80 year old. That would explain a lot of this.

            You really enjoy throwing around those lemmy buzzwords don’t you? It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

            I’d advise that you try to do some thinking for yourself, not just parrot what some of the circle jerks on here tell you.

            I wrecked my motorcycle in a curve at 60 mph and got a broken wrist. These people are not going to die at 25 mph when their tires blow. the cop was not trying to murder anybody stop being sensationalist
