Something that should outrage all motorcyclists!

A motorcyclist is afraid a car trying to change lanes doesn't see him so he stops and gets rear ended BY A COP! Then the cop blames the rider and threatens him with a summons!

I have several friends who are on the force and I have to say this guy was a disgrace to the uniform!

"I can't stop that fast when you slam on the brakes" Gee, he just said he wasn't following too close. If you can't stop that fast, you're too close ya maroon...

I can't stand asshats and if asshats could fly the entire US would be the airport!!!!!! I never thought I'd say this as I am a veteran and staunch supporter of the USA but I am really done with this kind of behavior with 0 accountability. All I can say is honey BOO BOO can have this place I am just disgusted.
From our local government robbing us with overzealous ticketing to my outrages property taxes going to some asshat who gives me tickets for this shyt it is just not worth it.
I have tried to change it by voting and speaking out but to no avail. When the time is right I will go to Europe I don't want to retire here anymore and that's sad.
Sorry rant off
there aint nothin like it

Brumbear, you are not alone in your sentiments. A lot of us feel the same way.

Here here BrumBear local government is the worse. I got a ticket for having garbage in bags on my property even after explaining to the man who wrote me the ticket that the garbage company keeps leaving the bags on the curb even though they are supposed to take them on bulk day.

He tells me "that's another department" since I don't want to take multiple days off of work to fight the ticket I end up with a $160 fine.
