In reply to the discussion: 5 Off-Duty Officers Among Bikers in SUV Incident [View all]TorchTheWitch
(11,065 posts)22. it got passed their trying to block the on ramp
So they were pissed off at it. That white van also got passed their blocking, and I have no doubt they would have gone after that one as well had the SUV not bumped the asshole that brake checked it and was able to get away. That's why the bikers and the SUV where the only vehicles on that entire stretch of highway. Compare that to all the other cars going the opposite direction on that highway. Also notice how none of them are concerned that they're stopped all over the road... they aren't worried about cars coming up behind them.

If you watch the videos, ALL the other cars slow down and defer... or move over and let them pass.

That's our NYPD. Thugs on duty, thugs off duty. Too bad there is no effective civilian oversight.
