I heard on NPR they plan to release the body cam footage tomorrow night.

Even though the cops have been arrested, I don’t think they thought through releasing the footage on a Friday afternoon/evening.

What do you mean? The cops get weekend overtime and maybe a little bit of property damage to get some increased budget next year sounds good.

About 12 years ago, I was leaving my second job in the next town over and just before city limits where it turns to 55mph, a cop from my town pulled out of a bank in front of me. Nothing seemed odd until he took off like a bat out of hell as soon as the limit changed. It was just after they got the updated Chargers in 2011 so I don't know if he was just seeing what it would do or what, but for the entire 10-mile stretch, I paced him from about 3 car lengths at 100-110mph (110-120 indicated) on my Triumph and it was loving awesome. I'm really glad he didn't do this.

Yeah, lovely places with the more lovely cops will have them get in front of motorcycles to pull them over because it's easier to make them crash into you than to PIT them, also they will never outperform a decent motorcycle and will inevitably wreck when trying to outstunt a two-wheeler.

Still, biker didn't even hit brake, or he would have been launched off the ride and onto copcar. It sucks when lovely motorcycle riders do things like this, but also kind of expected; which is why I'm not inclined to ride anymore.

Looks like he brakes at around 10 seconds, I dunno if that's the maximum braking he could've done, I don't trust anything with two wheels.

Jury acquits Pawtucket police officer in shooting of teen driver

WARWICK - After a week of testimony, a jury took about three hours Thursday to acquit off-duty Pawtucket police officer Daniel Dolan of all charges that he unjustly shot a teenager outside a West Greenwich pizzeria in 2021.

Dolan faced three felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon and a fourth count of discharging a gun while committing a crime following his encounter with Vincent and two friends outside the Wicked Good Pizza shop on Nooseneck Hill Road on a Wednesday evening in June.

Minutes earlier that night, Vincent, then 18, was behind the wheel of a black Audi that screamed passed Dolan on his way home to Coventry on nearby Interstate 95, the car using the breakdown lane to pass other vehicles.

Vincent, heading to the pizzeria with two friends to pick up a pre-ordered "meat-lovers" pie before it closed, was traveling between 108 and 126 mph on one highway section, according to a state police review of highway video.

Dolan testified he only pursued the car after he turned off the highway at his usual exit, Nooseneck Hill Road, and saw the car again in the distance.

Earlier in the week he took the stand in his own defense and said he wanted to have a “fatherly chat” with the occupants about their dangerous driving.

But the encounter immediately escalated when Vincent wouldn’t obey orders to stop from this man approaching them, dressed in street clothes and holding a badge of some kind. Vincent said he didn't know Dolan was a police officer or if the badge he held was real.
...
It evolved into a matter of self-defense, Dolan testified, after Vincent backed away from him and then “bumped” him with the front of the car. That’s when Dolan shot Vincent with his .40 caliber pistol through the driver’s window, smashing his upper arm.

...
Last March, Coventry police also arrested Dolan on domestic disorderly and vandalism charges. They charged that he grabbed his 10-year-old son by the neck and pushed him outside to get to school, then with the family in a car, threw a toy hard enough to break the windshield. Prosecutors dropped the charges days later.

My guess is you don't want a hard brake going 65-75 because, you know, physics.
If you keep an eye on the video, guy starts decelerating and was doing about 40-50 right before the crash.

He was easing into a brake trying to figure what the car was doing when the car just stopped.

to be fair 80 on a speedometer is probably like 72-74 mph in real life depending on the bike

Are you serious? It's a Yamaha R3 without huge double disc fronts, he did ease into braking because he couldn't figure out that he was about to be brake checked into oblivion (note that the cop car appears to be moving back into the right lane when the sirens go on); absolutely an intentional crash by the pig and no use of the words "lovely motorcycle rider" are fair here. That cop created the situation 100%.

Pretty sure 70 is the highest interstate speed in Florida. And he didn't slow down until the brake and siren lights turn on.

Drive defensive and especially if you suspect the poo poo driver is a cop.

As much as I dislike cops, trying to justify lower salaries for people because they can work an ungodly amount of overtime is kind of lovely. If you're working that many hours over 40 a week you should be compensated for it. Their pay is still way too high, but overtime shouldn't be a factor in that because that's just shooting yourself in the foot when you should be getting that deal too.
Cops are not workers, they are the goons of capital. HTH

once again 80 is probably like 72 because speedo's are built to read high. cop changes lane, brake checks biker and then accelerates and THEN fake changes lane and emergency stops. he's actively trying to kill someone.

even if speedo is accurate it's not ok to try to commit murder over 10mph speeding lol. that's like send a ticket in the post offence at best.

So about the 6-year-old that brought a gun to school.



No. The other one. The father was charged with child neglect.

Homestead Kindergarten student found with gun in backpack, father facing felony charge

A South Florida father is facing a felony charge after his 6-year-old daughter brought a gun to school.

According to Homestead police, officers responded to the Keys Gate Charter School, located at 2000 SE 28th Ave. after administrators were alerted about a student who was found with a gun.

Police said it was a Kindergarten student and that the firearm was found in the child’s backpack.

Investigators determined the father of the child, 39-year-old Reginald McCoy, put the gun in the backpack and forgot it was in there when the student was brought to school, police said.

That's my point. There are plenty of reasons to lambast them without treating overtime pay as a baseline. Anyone that logs a fair bit more than 40 per week should be doing well cash wise and lambasting the cops for it just harms everyone else's ability to fight for the right not to slave away in the workplace for most of their lives.
