Police killing us again!

**dmoo1790** · 19th April 2010, 19:02

This makes my blood boil. Regardless of any contribution to the accident by the biker the root cause was a cage driver doing a dumb thing. He could easily have made the turn in a safer location but just didn't think it through and now someone is dead. Had a dick in a Mini do a u-turn in front of me around a blind corner many years back. I walked away but my bike didn't. It just comes down to thinking and a bit of patience from the cage driver. Yeah, right! Not going to hold my breath waiting for that.

Tragic, but since I can't be fagged reading 18 pages worth of (I'm guessing, predominantly "pig bashing", interspersed with some sensible unbiased comments) posts. Has anyone asked what speed the rider was doing? Honestly, if ya gonna red me for being curious and prepared to ask then bring it on. There has been no suggestion that the rider was doing anything wrong, and I'm not saying he was; but experience and ability don't automatically mean goody-two shoes rider who mightn't be tempted on what they assume will be a nice quiet road to have a bit of a blat. Just a possibility, which anyone honest would admit to.
How about seeing what comes out of the investigation before jumping on the kiwibikerkangaroocourt all-pigs-are-bike-killers bandwagon.

Sorry, PB. It's already been asked so probably not gonna get any reds today. Nobody is speculating anything at the moment with regards to this

Yeh it has been asked, though getting an answer would be very difficult, it's been suggested that the police manipulate crash forensics figures (i've heard of examples of that), tbh though, looking at the pics where he did the u-turn, I can't see how this is anything less than a negligence causing death charge (or whatever the proper legal term is)

Is it guilty until proven innocent or innocent until proven guilty?

Still waiting for your facts and figures Ixion, but I completely agree it will be yet another cover-up by this cops buddies and he will get off scott free, much like the Buller Gorge cop.

I dont pay attention to them until they do something stupid... since i would be in jail already if i did uturn and killed someone.

and recently i had some bad experience with them so i guess this is just built up frustration since i know that probably nothing realy bad will happen to this cop...and yes i cant do jack shit about it!
