Just a side note on the "if the douchebag on the bike had been a CCW holder" front.
CCW holders, are, in overwhelming statistical fact, about 10 times less likely to commit ANY kind of crime compared to the general population. A little tidbit that stuck in my brain during my own instruction.
The guy on the bike was a giant flapping douchenozzle for stunting in traffic. The cop should have been screaming "POLICE, GET OFF THE BIKE AND ON THE GROUND" with a badge in one hand AND his gun in the other at the stop, IMO. (Same thing with some dipstick in a car zigzagging in and out of traffic at triple digits, we can't have double standards, now can we?) Backup in a squad was obviously on its way, seconds difference at the stop. That would have been a good situation.
In this world, with the explosion of cheap cameras, 99% of phones, and vid recorders you can strap on just about anything, if you are out your front door, you are in the public eye, all privacy goes sideways. Ham handed warrants, detention, and harassment over this is deplorable.
I do agree with Sean, that guy should be beaten by a group of his peers for his asshattery. They are the ones paying the exorbitant insurance rates by class of bike as a result of his, and actions like his, directly or indirectly.
BTW, I feel the same about guys that ride without helmets and then bust open their skulls.
Let me go get my fireproof suit.
