As many times as you have posted this same link, I'm beginning to think you are a 'one-trick pony'. I think we've gotten the message. BTW ... this link tells the 'whole one-side' of the story ... but then I've told you that before.

Posted it twice. I'm old and I forget. As for one-sided, the video wasn't taken by the fella on the bike. And the biker did prevail in court. Not sure how you can defend the cop, (a) running into the bike with his cruiser (b) having weapon drawn and then kicking the biker.
Miami Gardens...i'm not surprised. Most of that place is a swirling toilet.
It's sad that the cop got shot, and i hope the jackass that did it is prosecuted to the law's fullest extent.
I grew up a county north of there and lived in that area until I moved a thousand miles away two years ago. I can attest that it is a toilet bowl, make that a port-o-potty after the county fair. I was never so happy as the day I put south Florida in my rear view mirror! Crime and violence are the norm there sadly so I am not surprised this would happen.
HootnAnnie, that video you posted was disgusting. I can't believe that cop wasn't terminated immediately, truly disgusting and disturbing.
Glad the officer didn't die but hope we level the playing field by recruiting a jury of the perps sympathizers that way he can walk free for committing a horrible crime; much like those done by corrupt blood thirsty killer cops...on a regular basis. This won't be a popular response but it had to be said. Tired of hearing the reverse scenarial passed as the norm.
You may get what you wish for . I notice there are no demonstrations in the streets or building burnings because this innocent cop was shot.
There are innocents on both sides. However some of us do not burn buildings.
course not, "we" just shoot and kill people and get away with it on a technicality! You're definitely barking up the wrong tree. I speak the truth irrespective of race, religion or that hateful racist noise "some of us" call an argument.

Look, im not a massive fan of cops and I am somewhat suspicious of them, however these cop ambushes are INSANE... This needs to stop. I feel like American society is slowly crumbling. Between the crazy bi-polar politics...the awful race relations...cop ambushes... mass shootings every other month... It's like wtf?
I knew someone a couple of decades ago who told me it began with the end of common civility. You see it in television programs and people who don't move to the side of the sidewalk to let others pass...little things like that slowly blossom into what we have now...even people who once were respected cops, teachers, doctors (in part because they acted respectably) don't even hold themselves to a standard as a role model. When you have to tell teachers not to wear halter tops to school, you know there is a problem...no adult in charge of teaching children should need to be told that.
I am not a cop lover.........but man with things getting worse who really needs that BS for what 60k a year and a pension......if you make it that far either due to ambush/lawsuits.
That's if you get promoted. Around here, you start for $28k to $43k depending on the department and are capped at $58k. (We no longer have steps, COLAs, or merit raises, so you are unlikely to reach the cap). Have to make sergeant to make more than that.
This officer was not killed though, so what happens to him does not count as a "danger". We only compare deaths between careers to tally "danger".

Its funny how the word innocent only gets tossed around when the victim is non-civilian.
