Shut your pie hole in this situation.
This makes both the cyclist and the cops immature fools. It's excusable for a regular citizen to be an immature fool but I think once you are sworn in as a police officer it's time to leave that foolishness behind.
The rider drew attention to himself and this fact by his comments.
So you think it is "foolishness" for a Police Officer to uphold the law.
Do you have a light on your bike?
