I have no idea what this cop was thinking, but he's lucky this wasn't worse. Watch as this cop starts texting during a left-hand turn and hits this cyclist...

I almost never say this but that cyclist is gonna get paid.

Yeah if the officer isnt ticketed, and held responsible then that police dept deserves no respect moving forward. Should be penalized like any civilian would be.

TampaTiger22•92 months

Yes sir, and they will be quick to pull someone over for texting and give them a ticket. No one should be above the law.

PhilipMarlowe•92 months

that was a fairly expensive bike to hit. those november wheels run around $1500 i think, and i'd guess that frame is at least 2,200, hope it's not cracked.

I mean ticketed yeah, but what would average joe face running over a cyclist while texting? Gotta believe this guy gets more than just a ticket. Not talking jail time but suspension plus hefty fine to say the least.

TampaTiger22•92 months

I doubt it. I am not saying you are wrong. But police depts always look out for their own.

DeafVallyBatnR•92 months

not only the phones I see them driving and looking at the laptops in the car all the time.

If i was this cyclist, I would pursue a heavy payday at the hands of the city and police

@penguinpubes. Wtf does that have to do with anything? Dumb arse trump sues everyone. You are a true fn moron.

Why was that cyclist loitering at that street corner? Should have known better, nothing good happens at two o’clock in the afternoon.

beatbammer•92 months

I wonder what charge the cyclist got hit with to cover for the cop?

Of course this is in my home state of Missouri. We never run out of ways to make idiots of ourselves.

That's why I blow through stop signs.

Another reason to not ride a bike on the road. Its not worth it when you do everything correct and still get plowed over, by a cop....

Montezuma•92 months

Where else was he going to ride? There were no sidewalks. People in vehicles need to put the phone away. If it were a motorcycle an accident would have still occured, and injury would be near comparable. Careless driving needs to be corrected, and hopefully this officer rides a desk for a bit and has to pay to fix the bike out of his own pockets.

Hangit•92 months

Anywhere that is not on the road. It almost cost him his life. People are not going to start paying attention no matter how many times you point out that they should. Go ride somewhere else.

CHIPMANCATFISH•92 months

The biker just got bruises and scratches. The cop is lucky he didn't seriously harm him. He should get a scratch ticket.

Cop was coming from filming a lip sync challenge video with his department and was trying to upload it to his Facebook page. Bicyclist was on his daily 20 mile ride filming his ride so later he can post it to his blog. Blame technology and social media not the people.

Your last sentence was sarcasm right?

That biker should watch what's going on and be prepared to get out of the way next time.
