Dude would not have been "evading arrest" if they weren't chasing him down in order to pump up their egos. They wouldn't have left whoever else they were harassing to go chase down the cyclist over the headlight unless they were defending their delicate egos. They wouldn't have fund the pistol and charged him with UCW if they hadn't indulged in this chase in order to stroke their egos.
Whether the cyclist was a jerk or not is not the point. The point is that the police were jerks. The difference is that the police have badges and the regular citizen does not. One person once said about driving that if you leave the house with a gun, leave your middle finger at home. Well IMHO if the police pin on that badge, then they need to leave their delicate ego at home.
And we wonder why a lot of people don't trust the police?
Nice to see all of the nice comments about cyclists on this forum. And you guys wonder why gun owners tend to alienate others?
Sounds like you have a paranoia. Try doing their job for once. You let one guy smart off in a group and it can spontaneously get out of hand. But, I'm sure you let folks pop off to you all the time and you don't do squat. Just to prove my point, don't respond to my post.
