Yes. I can see that too. It’s eerie.

As if .....

Depends where you are sitting.

Indeed. Fortuitous.

And of course the reason he did it was because he was angry that the woman had been telling people that he chased her down the road whilst masturbating.

Nothing like falling into a childhood time warp to highlight the way life should be between the police and the policed.

I agree. He’s not running. He’s just not paying attention. I’m sure the cop knew that as well. The cop just couldn’t control himself at the end. Guilty as charged.

It this case the cop car could have been a parade float with naked women on it. He wasn’t looking behind him. He was having to much fun bending into the road.

True story. Riding position is everything.

Which is what you do for a clear look behind you. On a nice sunny day with a bit of familiar bending road up ahead I get why he didn’t. Still doesn’t make it right.

We have a slightly different problem in that companies increasingly make their works vehicles like police units.

I think the cop knew exactly what he was doing. Not his first rodeo. His failing was “situational awareness”. If you are going to beat the crap out of someone, do it off camera. Didn’t know the camera was on? I think it goes beyond that. He was so amped I suspect he thought he was in Falujah.

He’s not blaming the bike. He’s saying he gets why the guy didn’t notice the cop. If he’d been attentive, this wouldn’t have happened. I also understand why he didn’t. It’s a pain in the ass with those kinds of mirrors to see what’s going on behind you. Not impossible.
