I saw these clown ( wheelie boys) first hand last spring in Baltimore, and I couldn't believe my eyes. They drove right past a patrolling PO (in a car on shift) and a foot patrol and both POs hardly reacted. You can read about it here .

After thinking on it, I asked several NYPD friends, frankly, they said that in the larger cities they have bigger things...ie violent crimes.. to be tracking than several teens joy riding on our beloved bikes. So they go with little punishment. Before moving to NYC this made no sense to me. But hearing the stuff these cops deal with regularly, I get it.

A friend of mine, before spending time under government time out and changing his life, used to be a part of the crews that scooped up our bikes and hit up the streets of Brooklyn in race mode. Last week I asked him if they ever got caught, he said they would just ditch the bike but cops rarely chased them. Food for thought..

you really have no grasp of the lack of id these people carry, combined with unregistered unplated bikes also with pretty much no verifiable address to go and grab them at.

these are for the most part just anonymous people raising hell.

to fuck with this guy. you're 28 and you're playing get away driver for your 26 year old friend who is probably running from something a lot more devious than an unlicensed set of tickets.

YOU buy the ticket, YOU take the ride.

and since my PC conscience is nagging at me- allow me to qualify who "these people are"

they are your average 80cc dirtbike riding mid to late 20 year olds in the urban landscape.

Again not trying to say the deceased wasn't in the wrong, but he didn't deserve to be run down as being claimed in this case! That being said, so we can't call him or them people? Let us suppose it was a Caucasian kid from a well off family...I bet you the story would be different! I know the whole heritage of the "individual(s)" in question that ride the dirt-bikes on the street hasn't been mentioned, but we ALL know, and it is evident by the lack of remorse by a lot of you on here!! When is a human life going to be a human life in the States? It seems some lives are not as important as others!! So there I opened the can....!! Let us turn the story to John Smith gets run over by cops!! I bet you the response will be different!!!
You make sound the dirt bike rider didn't risk anybody elses life on the streets doing their stunts, would the story sound better if the 28 yr. old hit and killed someone if the police hadn't stopped them.

I agee he didn't " deserve" to die, but his actions exposed him to that risk.

Haters gonna hate, I'm with old fart on this one. If that happened here they would just stick a gun in his hand and settle out of court and part of the deal would be the family cant talk about it...don't do the crime if you can't do the time....well well well, don't do it! Keeeeeeeeeeep your eye on the Sparrow when the going gets narrow!

You are ASSuming the lack of remorse is race related when it is really because these guys are gang-banging menaces to society who put their own lives at running from the police. You should play that card for someone who deserves it instead of insulting the people here.

police are not above the law, but seems like the criminal is from your POV. clearly this kid died runnin from the cops....he kinda took his own life in his own hands the minute he chose to run from the cops. WE ALL KNOW IF YOU FAIL TO STOP FOR THE POLICE AND START A CHASE, YOU COULD VERY LIKELY DIE...don't you ever watch tv? 99% of all the chases end up with the dude wacking something. this guy just happened to wack a bumper.
99% of the chases do NOT end in the dude wacking something. Most of the time they get away.

ha, the race card, again.

I don't care who or what you are.
You enter a house at night to steal something,
or hold up a guy in an alley,
or run from the cops thru traffic,
you are putting your life in danger.
you made the call and started it.
Don't complain about how it ends.

If the 28 year old man would have stopped, I'm sure he would have gotten
his day in court, and a fair sentence.

But, he didn't. His choice was to remain outside the law, so be it.
Reap what you sow.

Really? This is exactly what is wrong with this country. The situation came to a unfortunate end but could have been avoided by simply obeying the law. This individual chose his own destiny.
Maybe we need to get back to the stop or I'll shoot mentality. These criminals are banking on the idea that the are to be given a opportunity to escape. I am saddened by all the bleeding hearts. So as long as you feel you have righted all wrongs good for you.

Btw You can probably start eating at Chick Fil-A again.

Sad, but hope it teaches the other wheelie dudes a thing or two

two guys enter a pharmacy with guns. its not the first time.
pharmacist grabs his gun to portect himself from criminals after drugs.
guys fire, pharmacist returns fire.
one guy runs, other gets hit.
pharmacist runs forward to lock the door so the flee'er cant come back in.
hit one has a gun still in hand, points it at pharmacist.
pharmacist shoot him again killing him.

this is on video.

pharmacist is in jail and has been for a few years now.

the DA contention was that the pharmacist deliberatly killed the hit one.

this was in OKC.

so the moral of the story... get held up at gun point multiple times by criminals, police dont do shit. Protect yourself from criminals and its your fault they were acting like criminals and trying to take your life. if one dies, you are in trouble because its easier to find you, a law abiding citizen, than the criminals plus safer, a law abiding citizen isnt going to shoot you but a criminal very probably might.

You know youre fucked as a society when criminals doing dangerous, life threatning things, get sympathy. They created the entire situation, fully, things bad happen, no time to wait for the police to protect its law abiding citizens, and then the law abiding citizen is to blame. thats how things are now. sad deal.

Or in other words, about perfect if you're spending a bunch of time on the rear wheel.

Yeah, I see what you did there. You accused me of being gay. How exceedingly clever.

I clipped the other account because the poster was talking about going all vigilante and running over someone to solve a problem. Of course, that was after going back and reviewing their prior posting history, and noting a lot of hate in other similar threads.

I get that same feeling from a lot of other posts that start with, "This is exactly what's wrong with this country..."

I think we can all agree that death is a risk you take when you decide to run from the cops. Pretty simple really.

I've used cop chases that have ended badly as a teachable moment for my son. He gets it.

On the other hand, how many people in here have boasted about riding in areas that they're not supposed to, on city streets to/from a riding area and running from the cops? I've seen it more than a few times.

Exactly!! Thank you GuyB for that.

To those that think I'm throwing out the race card, yes, deep down you know what you are saying....we all know. Fair is fair, but there are ROE's and we don't just go blasting up a village just because we have been shot at from a mud hut...that is where we use our training!!

Yeah, a regular laugh riot for message board admins. Maybe that's why he got kicked off just about every moto board around.

Heck, even his own board couldn't handle the nonsense he (and others) generated.
