raspberriesareyummy comments on UK police trying to stop youths on motorcycles.

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.

No, it isn't. Even if you fall off due to the flat tyre, and that's not a given, if you're wearing a helmet the chances of serious injury are very low.

That's a frankly absurd statement to make.

Did you miss the part where you are supposed to slow down when you see an obstacle or even an unclear traffic situation up ahead? People who don't do that do not belong on the road.
