"Homer, are you just holding onto the cans?"
The most intelligent thing to do would be to pull over. Just like the most intelligent thing for the cop to do would be to not hang onto a moving vehicle.Quote:

I wouldn't want to be that rider when they come calling for him.

lol he wasn't dragged, he was taken for a ride :D
If the cop was reluctant, he would have let go. Media :rolleyes:
I like how the video was edited not to show the 2 seconds from when the car stopped to when the revving started. If the cop just took down his plates, it would have been an uneventful and routine stop. It makes for a better story to have a fleeing rider get pulled off his bike by a hero cop. For everyone's safety I hope they implement police procedures to treat bikes like any other vehicle on the road. I don't see cops reaching for steering wheels or trying to pull drivers out windows when they try to flee.
I think that we need to be more considerate of other human beings.

And to think this happened only a week after I suggested the change in procedure.
And some people wonder why some condos don't welcome motorcycles.
You nailed it! Best comment in thread by far.Quote:

Apparently he was a good cop though, so it's sad to see something like this happen to someone like that.
**** the police.

May be the cop tried to approach/grab him from back and the rider couldn't know if that was a cop or a thief. I'd have dragged him too.
