Yeah reports cited in the Washington post don’t fit your personal evidentiary standard huh? You need first hand accounts that are notarized.
against policy != illegal.
A dirt bike might cost YOU money. Half of the DC dirt bikes impounded by police were stolen.
the author unfortunately has a history of lying. i knew i recognized the name:
You have clearly never been to Dundalk.
For the kids driving the bikes because they went down and for the driver of the car because there is a reasonable chance that the bikers will take it out of the driver’s hide. It’s happened many times before and it will keep happening.
Yeah, the author straight up lied about a lot of this. Either that, or he wrote on a subject that he knows absolutely nothing about. Maybe he watched highlights of a vid and that’s it.
this author missed so much it has to be intentional
Its not illegal. Its against normal department policy, but not illegal.
ahhhh this old argument... always good to see someone who has no reason to defend a position go to the “you’re just not looking deep enough” bullshit. Get a new schtick.

But didn’t you read the article? They are “protesting injustice”.
This is truly an article that only a privileged white person who seeks to capture any kind of pseudo-revolutionary feeling to invigorate their ironic and antiseptic lives could write.
While everyone, including the bikers themselves, acknowledges that the sport can be dangerous, riders use hand signals and even ride in grassy areas to avoid intermingling with car traffic.
This has been going for years in Baltimore and Philly. Connecting it to Freddie Gray is stupid both for the subjects of the article and the author. Also, it is far from a benign activity. They most certainly do not use hand signals (at least in my experience). It’s usually a 14 year old helmetless kid doing a 50 mph…
