I just watched a uniformed cop jump out of his patrol car run across two lanes of traffic and lay out a cyclist who had stopped at the center divide and was looking at him confused. Guy was in his full roadie gear, including his neon green safety jacket. He had one foot clipped out and was fully stopped. There was a dude on a motorcycle stopped between the cop car and the cyclist looking just as confused as the guy getting laid out.
I saw it driving past on C470, so I didn't see what instigated it, but what can a cyclist in full roadie gear do such that a cop runs across the street and lays him out? Especially when fully stopped?! I had a good 15sec view though and it did not seem like there was any warming before he took him out (still partially clipped in).
J will be watching the news on this one though, because where he was riding to only takes you to a few very, very nice and high dollar neighborhoods.
