Speeding bikers taunt trooper after crash - Seattle News - MyNorthwest.com


Cliff notes. Officer in pursuit of nine bikers hotdogging through traffic. As he gets close two bikers swerve in on him. To avoid hitting them, he brakes and swerves, going off road. He's pinned in crashed car, injured. Two of the bikers evidently went to next exit, came back down other side of highway, park, approach cruiser, point, taunt, and clap.

Listen to the audio to hear the guy with the bikers who was following in a car (I'm assuming camera car) trying to spin it the other way. Saying the officer tried to run over the bikes. I've got an officer who is sending me a link to a biker forum where this is evidently being applauded.

Trooper Brian Salyer, 46, of Spanaway, was pursuing a group of at least nine members of a south King County motorcycle group traveling northbound at "well over 100 mph," Trooper Cliff Pratt said. As Salyer tried to close in on the fastest biker, he told Pratt that two other bikers cut him off.

I've never undserstood how people in a car can be intimidated by someone on a bike.
Physics doesn't work that way

Not intimidatio but sacrifice, I think, aps. An officer who was willing to take the crash in a car, where he might or might not make it, rather than run over bikers, who would almost certainly die if he hit them. Like a pilot who stays with the aircraft rather than eject, to ensure he guides it away from inhabited. And his payback for this? Well, you read it.

Your analogy is invalid. A pilot will attempt to not harm the innocents in an occupied structure. These motorcyclists appear not to be innocents. The action of the officer was an immediate reaction to avoid hitting something/someone, probably not concern for the welfare of the motorcyclists.

I say it is valid, officers do care about causing harm to miscreants. Now, we have no way of knowing what was in the officers head. Could havebeen a simple knee jerk "OHMYGODGOTTASWERVENOW" yank the wheel and nail the brakes. Could have been "Crush the bikers or take the ditch", followed by deliberate control inputs to do so. Barring in cam footage, or audio, we are likely to even know. I know one of the advanced driving courses I attended stressed the importance of choosing your crash. I would be surprised if EVOC doesnt cover this also.

This is why bikers are not to be trusted. Ever.

You're not making points with the majority of us bikers with an overly broad generalization like that. Most of the bikers on this forum are more trustworthy than the cagers.

Okay, got a link to that thread I mentioned. Not so bad, 2-3 guys who were supporting the tanuters, a few more supporting the fact that the bikers were stunting, sayings it is safe, the rest were bikers going off on both the stunters and the taunters.
