Range Rover Runs Down Bikers in N.Y.

Do you believe everything you here on the biased news stations? TV news reads the papers and then puts their own spin on it.

This is one of those stories where I don't see much silver lining. Every time another piece of it comes to light it looks worse. I hope Steven King can tie it all up at the end.
 
Thanks for the link. I just like to see peoples remarks substantiated. I would tend to believe the police who are investigating their own before I believe what I read in the papers. So it appears to be true. I think the ones that said nothing are not cops who happen to be bikers, but are bikers who happen to be cops. If it is proven they witnessed and did nothing they should lose their badges. The pack was so large it is conceivable there were participants who never really saw hat was going on, especially at the end of the chase. There is so much corruption in the PD that I don't know how it could be fixed without jeapordizing good cops.
 
It was on the USA Today app on my phone. I can't link it from there.

They detained two more bikers today. Charged them with "gang assault."

Has a pic of the dude that got ran over. He got messed up pretty bad. He's getting some money from the city.
 
The cops involved are being investigated by IA. They probably will lose their jobs.

I agree, the only glimpse of a silver lining I would find is if all (or at least the most agregious) who were involved be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

I think him getting money from the city is just wrong. If you and your 3 buddies rob a bank and you are the getaway driver outside, and a shootout happens in the bank and an officer is killed, you are just as liable for murder as the one that pulled the trigger. This guy with no license shouldn't have been there, to be rewarded for it is insane. As long as his criminal record is he should have been in jail and not out enjoying an illegal pleasant Sunday ride where he was committing a crime when he got run over.
 
They finally caught and charged the guy who, in the middle of the video, who ran up and opened the door of the RR with assault in the 1st, gang assault in the 2nd and criminal possession of a weapon.I was wondering how they knew about the weapon 6 days later but then realized he probably had it on him when the apprehended him.
 
Not that I want anybody paralyzed, but a story came out yesterday, that the biker that was run over, is a "habitual offender" he has no license and is prohibited of having one till 2017. So... if he had been following the law, he wouldn't have been there in the first place.... I don't think the city owes him anything.

Look, if I'm breaking a law and get injured, how am I afforded any coverage under the law I am breaking????

He was denied a permit in 1999 and 2000 due to unpaid fines on previous violations. He's had 16 violations since then and was in the commission of a crime by standing in front of the RR preventing it from leaving. If he got hurt, too fucking bad, he shouldn't have been there.
 
there is a bit of a silver lining for me,some how everyone on my way to work has gotten out of my way for the most part. the down side is this got more coverage than the guys and gals that rode to d.c. on 9/11 and those that were trying to get a ride together today to re open the wwII memorial.
 
There is a new twist to this story and it's doesn't look good.
