I dislike cops but in this scenario they are not the villains.

    What that cop was trying to do, would have caused a serious accident and injuries if he had succeeded. Cops are always the villains, harassing teenagers and brutalizing people protesting against genocide, while protecting rich pedophiles.

    What about the serious accident and injuries that the idiots could have caused by hitting children or someone's pet crossing the road?

    Your logic is "I was driving recklessly downtown and your putting an obstacle in my way is endangering me".

    No, it wasn't the policeman endangering the biker group here, it was the people driving recklessly.

    How does getting one or a few of them off the road help? If anything, police presence makes them drive even more dangerous.

    But hey, that's logic some people can't comprehend. You're supposed to lick the boots, and if you don't do that you are the problem.

    We don't execute people for traffic violations!

    Delusional much? The traffic stop was clearly visible to the group and the attempt to block the road as well - if you don't slow down upon seeing an obstacle, that's 100% on you.

    Visible or not, they're still using a spike strip against a two wheel vehicle. That's still attempted murder.

    They didn't seem to be driving very recklessly to me. Just in a big group. That cop could have caused a serious accident to many of them, and you would have cheered because "these damn kids".
