12 o'clock boys in Catonsville

That's on you I have no clue.
The riders were the least annoying and least stupid in the video too.
It was the adults that completely supported all of it with absolutely F'ed up logic.

The guy that died rode his dirt bike in circles around the officers then flipped them off, took off going down the wrong side of the road, and jumped up the sidewalk.
From what I remember he hit a car. Can't remember if it was parked or moving. Either way he's not gonna be doing that again.
Naturally it was all the officer's fault.

On that Amazon page, frequently bought together; caltrops & pack of handcuff keys. Seems legit!

Love it! Reminds me of a lot at the Howard County Police auction some 20 years ago. A pair of bolt cutters with a mag light taped to the handle. Auctioneer called the lot a B&E kit.

As a city resident and avid cyclist I've seen this quite a lot during the summer. Notably on some of my North and West city rides. The move/doc trailer (below) is dead-on accurate.

Pardon my ignorance but why do the police not chase? Isn't this a broken windows type thing?

 

[Remi]

I don't know every reason but a big one is safety.
The bikers don't care who or what they damage while running from the police.
And if someone wrecks and dies it's all on the police for chasing them.

They are allowed to chase if an actual crime was committed but just the act of riding around recklessly doesn't justify it.

Broken windows in what way? Policing? I could see that.
But in order for the police to actually police they'd need backing and support that they don't have. Can't really go anywhere with that without them getting in trouble for trying to do their job.

Couldn't be lucky enough to have a few end up like this:

"Henry was not wearing a helmet."



How is this relevant to.... well.... anything at all ?

Like.... if only he had been wearing his helmet...

To Liberals, a helmet is a magic cure-all safety bubble.

Much in the same way they view the Magic Piece of Paper protective order.

Helmet only = organ donor!

If I remember correctly but didn't the city have a couple ex motorcross guys that were cops and they used dirt bikes to chase them down?

I'll have to disagree here. Have a couple of friends who wouldn't be here today if not for their helmets. They were anti helmet until they walked away from drops that left their helmets looking like they went thru a war. I think Gary Bussey could be an argument for helmets. I don't ride no skin in this game.
