Still dont get what to cop was trying to do.  Was he trying to get them to slow down?   Where they speeding?  Why not just give one a ticket?  I have just never seen a cop swear back and forth like this.

Whatever it was he was up to, no one who's brighter than the bulb in Mom's sewing machine wants anything to do with it.  




Back when I rode in groups I've seen 50-100 bikers all get off the next exit and leave the cop swerving back and forth by himself.  Whatever it is you wanted Bud, we ain't playing.




Now, I've had cops get in front of us and lead a group to a campground or other staging area, but never with the swerving. When the swerving starts,  I find somewhere else to be.  The cop is either pissed off, fucking nuts or something ugly happened up ahead.

A police car with lights on and swerving is running a rolling roadblock which I believe in most states, if not all, are illegal to pass.  Fuck those idiots.  These are the types of irresponsible morons that ruin things for the rest of us.

Extremely accurate assessment good Sir.  100% correct.

I'm going to guess that the riders were doing the stereotypical stuff: weaving through traffic, wheelies, blocking traffic, et cetera.  The cop probably saw enough, and went lights on when he got in front of them.  Trying to pass the cop with lights on, especially when the lights are on for you [collective], I'm going to guess that's a legal no no; evading or something or other.

Whether this was deadly force, I dunno; while it could be construed as such, I don't think it was; more like mutual combat between the rider and the cruiser.  The rider tried to make an illegal pass ... an illegal pass of a cop car trying to stop him.  

Oh well.

I don't see it as a wholly negative thing.  I'm guessing cops spend more time persuading people to comply than they do chasing people over hill and dale, so mass probably works in his favor most of the time.

The officer went lights on, and was swerving back and forth making it crystal clear that he was intent on stopping the group.  They chose to evade the stop.

They chose to play the game of lawlessness, and they won a prize.  I don't have the least bit of sympathy for the rider that crashed.

Definitely the safe and sane play.

I'm overall conflicted by this video.  When the groups of riders are running around out of control there isn't a good way to deal with them, and this certainly isn't one.  But I don't know that there is a right way.

FIFY  

You've never seen a traffic break before?  

I guess the laws must be different where you are from.. Maybe if they teach driver training when you get to high school, you'll see that part about not passing emergency vehicles.  And you'll go. "ohhh"  but 4 years is a long time to remember.

It's called a traffic break.  the idea is that people are supposed to stay behind the unit and not try to pass.  It's a terribly difficult concept, but it might get clear some day.

That section of road is 35mph. The bikes were doing 60-70 and running red lights, which is why the cops were called. The cop was doing a standard traffic control procedure in WI and had his lights on. Illegal to be within 500 feet of an emergency vehicle with lights on in WI. Dumb fucks on the bikes were breaking numerous laws, decided to push their luck, and it but them in the ass. Also, the rider's license was suspended and no motorcycle endorsement. Shocker.

I've seen a lot of police running rolling traffic brakes on the freeway before so another unit could remove debris from the road farther up but never on surface streets.  I wonder what the office was trying to accomplish prior to the collision.

He wanted them to slow down or stop - probably because they were acting like a pack of animals right before the video started - like these groups usually do.

If you weren't doing anything wrong would you try to race past the rolling roadblock & get away?

I could never understand the whole concept of bike gangs, swarming on a car...



They are basically threatening someone, with their own vulnerability. "Hey! I'm going to surround your car,... that can *EASILY* demolish me... relying on your unwillingness to hurt me... so that I can force you to slow down... and kill you."



On the road, car beats motorcycle 100% of the time. If some thug on a bike thinks he can block your path... and force you to slow down, so he can beat the shit out of you, prove him wrong. Run the mother fucker over. Then... slow down, back up, and run over the fucker again.

I've seen it done before. It's to slow down all traffic across all lanes. Last time I saw it done (the only time) was during rush hour traffic, and I think there was an accident up the road being cleared.. and the police wanted traffic slowed down to ensure there arent any secondaries.

No.  It is fucking illegal.  When you're driving hot your focused on a lot of things.  You shouldn't have to be too concerned with what's behind you because they're supposed to stay the fuck behind you.

Traffic break?  That must be some California thing.

Emergency vehicles that have their lights on have right of way though.  Although, in Illinois, they need to have their siren on if they are exceeding the speed limit.  (not sure about WI)
