Does anyone have any YouTube videos of cops demonstrating their riding prowess?
I've heard mentions of the "crazy" things they can do so I'd like to have a look.

I had a cop on a harley copbike decide to stop infront of me when I was trying to get onto the highway, I had to slam on the breaks because I didn't want to crush him for being stupid.

Very considerate of you.
Of course if you did crush him for being stupid you'd be held legally liable since the guy behind is always responsible for stopping.

That kind of riding is about 10% technique and 90% confidence.

Still impressive. Takes a lot of practice.

Over and over and over....

So the question is, could he do that on the road in a real life situation without practicing? Chances are he knows how to ride well enough to handle himself.
