| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1437365 United States09/02/2011 12:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Didn't the dope know that riding a bike without a headlight is dangerous? Quoting: Officer Pickles 1531298 The policeman was just trying to save him from being hurt! The most dangerous thing about riding a bike at night is that you are likely to encounter members of America's most dangerous street gang -- the police ! And they really love to shove people off of bicycles ... |

| dragunov_1977 User ID: 1444457 United States09/02/2011 02:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Im more scared of the police at night than black thugs. They will stop you with no lights on a bike so best to have one. They usualy are looking for drugs, weapons, or a warrant and will use the light as an excuse. Im just a latrine in a judaic controlled society. As a result, the MSM can get away with taking a leak on me. |

| Madame X User ID: 628775  Canada09/02/2011 03:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I pass officers on bikes as well, they have helmets but no headlights (our city has cops on bikes and horses during the summer). What kind of animal does this to another human when they have sworn to protect the public.

Cuz we don't have a law regarding lights on bicycles or helmets. They are recommended but not mandatory. Geez, I don't need more govt red tape, especially when I am out for a cruise on my bike.

| Madame X User ID: 628775 Canada09/02/2011 03:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I certainly wouldn't defend the police action, but the man is an absolute idiot for biking at midnight without a headlight. Are there any witnesses? Or is it just his word against theirs? And was he sober? Quoting: weegie No, he was a drunk wetback that couldn't understand English and too stupid to just stop... So that give the cops an excuse to beat him within an inch of his life. Total disregard for the human soul, imho.

Are there any witnesses? Or is it just his word against theirs? And was he sober? Quoting: weegie He was arrested for "public intoxication", but here in Texas they use that as an excuse to arrest people when they have no other reason to do so (if the cop just "thinks" or claims you *might* be intoxicated, off to jail you go, no proof required). So, do anything to piss off a cop and you are likely to be falsely arrested for public intoxication. On him not having a headlight, big deal, bikes have reflectors, so he was still safe. They just made that a requirment so they 'd have yet another excuse to stop people and fuck with them. |
