Cops SUCK

Not really. I can’t image doing that job in 2023.

He was a ****ing dick and turning around was a double dick move and he'd been treated as such.
You did get his name and badge number since he wanted to play the I'm a cop card right. A visit to his precinct to see the boss straighten shit right put.

Prob check your health insurance for some anger management classes, there is more going on here than some cop smart-talking.

I have his unit number if needed.

Without video, backup officers are going to back the play of their guy, it's a team sport, and you are on the wrong team.

That's true. OP, get yourself a dash cam. Mine has saved me a time or two.

If you're on a bicycle in the bike lane, get a Cycliq bike light/camera. You can put on front and back to record interactions like this.

If the OP had a hair on his ass he’d of told the cop; “Sup Fife! Smell that? That’s bacon. I smell bacon! By the way I think I just saw Jamal Giantdick leaving your house.”

Here's how that probably would have gone:

Yeah but think of the MILLIONS you’d make. What’s a little clubbing when you stand to be a multimillionaire! Seals get clubbed all the time and they don’t see any financial reward whatsoever.

Why... If he started some shit and then came back around to keep at it the appropriate response is to get in his face.
I'm actually a calm person, however dickweeds like this need to be dealt with.
It's not like I'm like this guy asking do you even lift bro...

Blademaker · 03-20-2023, 9:29am

I'm usually polite and respectful when dealing with LEO's, as I have talked my way IN to more jails than OUT of jail.
That being said, once they start coming across as badge heavy pricks, I have 0 problem getting locked up again. I had a railroad detective start harassing us before we sold the business.....he got knocked on his ass by a warehouse door that was flung open by yours truly. I muttered an excuse me...He came up ready to fight, and I was more than willing to accommodate him and whip his ass, until my brother called the City Police. His partner admitted that he was out of line, and hustled him outta there.
They never came back.
Nowadays......I'll be as polite as I'm allowed to be, and generally avoid the POlice, but if they act like assholes, game on.

Let's look at the facts, as given by OP. Cop is speeding around a blind corner, overshoots his lane and causes OP to crash his bike trying not to get hit. Now, did OP overreact due to being startled? Maybe. Nevertheless, the officer was in the wrong, driving recklessly.

Officer doubles down by turning around not to check on OP's well being, or to apologize, but to threaten an arrest and escalate the situation. There's no video, apparently, so it's a he said/she said situation, and it's just the OP and the cop there. The cop has ALREADY demonstrated he's willing to lie about the basic facts, i.e. about who is wrong in the situation. Then the cop doubled down with a threat of arrest. What else do you think that cop would be willing to do in that situation if you didn't deescalate like OP did? Contempt of cop is a real thing, and I can see you getting beaten and arrested if you did indeed "get in his face." Why not? Guy already lied about what happened, you don't think he'll take it as far as he wants to go?

Without video proof, it's an unwinnable situation; OP did the right thing by deescalating and riding off into the sunset. Without video, I'd be hesitant to even file a complaint, for fear of retaliation. File a complaint, and now that unstable cop and all his buddies know where you live, probably what cars you own, etc.

Fuzz gives me any lip I’ll carve him up like a ****in’ butterball turkey.

Let him who has never done anything wrong in his life cast the first stone.

Bill · 03-20-2023, 12:16pm

Imagine how this would have gone if there was no video of the incident.

And here's almost the EXACT same situation as the OP. Officer almost hits this guy, then they arrest this guy for contempt of cop:

And they did all this when they were on video, and KNEW they were on video. Imagine how much worse it might have gone without the video. As is, they arrested a completely innocent guy.

The po-po learned years ago not to mess with me.
I can drive 29 mph right through the center of town and not get pulled over,,,

Bill · 03-20-2023, 12:30pm

And, slightly off subject, but here's the police arresting an old lady for not paying a $ 77 city trash bill:

The kind of people who would do this to an old lady, from the cops to the judge that ordered the arrest....what else are they capable of? What would be off limits to these kind of folks? What orders or actions would they actually refuse, if any?

Lady sitting in legally parked car has car taken from her:

One day many years ago I was standing outside with a few co-workers (they were smoking, I was not). A couple of police officres with a K9 rolled up and were walking the dog through the vacant lot next to our building. One of the smokers suddenly yelled out "****IN' PIGS!!!!" at the top of his lungs.

The rest of us scattered and ducked back inside the building. Thankfully the cops ignored the lunatic.
