I wonder about things like this.
I know someone who was riding their bicycle, making a left turn at a corner, staying on the right side of the street, and a car came from behind, cut off the cyclist to make a right turn and the cyclist locked up their brakes to avoid t-boning the car while the occupants of the car laughed their head off at the bikers expression.
The cyclist immediately screamed WATCH WHERE THE F- YOU’RE GOING, YOU STUPID A-H-!!
And the cyclist rode off. Fortunately, a Ploce officer was Right Behind the car that cut off the cyclist.
The cop followed that car into the parking lot off the quickie mart, told them to remain until he got back, then went to get the cyclist.
The cop then told the cyclist that in order to give the car a ticket for driving to endanger and failure to grant right of way, he would have to...ARREST THE CYCLIST FOR SWEARING in public!
True story, the cyclist didnt want to get arrested, so the moron who ran him off the road and almost struck him was allowed to go free, because the cop said it was a greater crime to swear in public than it was to place someone’s life in danger.
In your recanting of the story about the bicyclist, the dangerous driver and the cop, I believe many details are missing. I would be willing to bet that the cyclist used the same cuss words when talking with the cop and displayed an attitude. For, even if he had not heard the biker mouth off he did see the driver operate his vehicle in a manner dangerous to the public (not just that one particular biker). It would have been necessary to actually have been there to make a true judgment.
That’s why Cops get no respect.
