And that decal is affectionally referred to as “The Screaming Chicken”.

Did Pontiac offer these from the factory? If they did, then THIS is the best decal offered. If not, HUGE error on their part.

A white coal-roller in Texas is part of an in-group with police, and not to be bound by the law. Cyclists are “environmentalists”, an out-group not be afforded protection by the law.

At this point we can confirm there are some connections, but have yet to see evidence of a city official directing the officer on the scene as to how to handle this particular situation.
