Police killing us again!

[Bass]

Oh I dunno, the only one it must 'suck' to be is the driver at fault.

Kinda sux to be the biker too, don't you think?

I guess.

But I also guess he would not know that.

No need to read the rest of the thread after seeing the "better pic" !
Condolences to family and friends ! Rider didn't deserve to come over that brow to find that car in the middle of the road, no matter what speed he may or may not have been doing !

But i'm sure there will be a KB linch mob who will want cop blood blah blah blah , back in your cheap seats ya keyboard warriors, cause ya still a pack of apathetic prats !

The Official investigation and recomendations will go through the motions and the officer may or may not get charged, the rider will be buried and his family and friends will mourn !

The warriors will go back to their pathetic lives untill the next RIP post !!!

Ok so what do you want me to do genius?? Buy a gun and shoot cops in revenge? .... yes person is dead and cop killed him, and feeling that "could have been me" gives me right to get angry, but fact remains that they are above the law and always will be.

BTW get off your moral high horse...by calling peoples lives pathetic, iam sure you are not doing your childhood dream job while married to lingerie model either!!!!

So if another Air NZ DC10 had crashed into Erebus a couple of years after the first impact, it would still pilots fault with the organization not needing to be looked at in any way?

The cop car was travelling in the same direction as the biker, and it's fair to assume the rider would have seen the unmistakable roofline profile of a cop car ahead of him as it went over the brow of the hill.

Now, if you KNOW you have a cop car travelling in the same direction dead ahead of you, would you really be speeding? Knowing he's got a radar beam pointing rearwards right at you? Of course not. You'd sit on 100km/h.

Then, as you crest the brow, you see the cop car's roof-lights go on. No cause to panic as you're sweet on 100km/h. He's 60m down the road from you, slowing to a standstill and pulling over to the road shoulder on the left with lights flashing.

You proceed at 100km/h, closing what was a 60m gap from the hill brow with each second.

Suddenly he u-turns across both road-lanes. How far away are you -- and closing -- when this manouvre commences? 40m? 30m?

You slam on emergency anchors from 100km/h. If it was a straight dry good tar-seal road with nothing at all in your path, you'd need a minimum of 55m to come to a halt.

You don't have 55m. You probably only have 25m. That's 30m too little to avoid collecting the stupid u-turner.

You're going to whack into him solidly at about 60km/h. It's unsurvivable.

I guess yeah, they would be needing 'looked at'

But I wouldn't say it would 'suck be them'.

Actually, they're not. At least not in the sense that you are implying.

[Ronin]

I'm sure there's others on here who are wondering what speed the motorcyclist was travelling at.




Ok, I've got a thick skin - I'll be the one to voice it.

No your not the only one wondering it. BUT, I know the car did the U turn, I don't know the speed of the bike and until I do, and lets face it we probably never will, it's not relevant.

The side of basic grammar and literacy, which is why I've been ignoring your inane spamming in this thread.

Oh so cop and grammar nazi....well that kinda goes well together.

(apologies for the offence it should've said "WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU REALY ON" not whos...but you guys are perfect and never make mistakes let alone typos....OH wait a minute you do!...and people die!)

[MSTRS:Me]

Nope. Bike was following the speeding ute. Cop turned between them.

Cant see how the cop came across as "a cornered rat",i thought he actually did well to not say to the stupid bitch "what part of until an investigations completed dont you understand".

[pete376403]

Call me a cynic but I am sure "evidence" will be found to show the bike was speeding.
