Do we hate Mexicans because some come here illegally?
Do we hate black people because some are hood rats and gang members?
Do we hate white people because some make meth.
Do we hate everyone from Alabama because some sleep with their sisters?
Do we hate the whole OT because some make stupid generalization posts?

Speak for yourself Thug. Without Cops we’d all be living in the neighborhood you grow up in. There are bad people in every profession and Police do a job that no one else will. Protect and Serve people they don’t even know, and put their lives on the line every day for very little money. So GFY

This is what crossed my mind reading the OP.
You get a bad outcome like this, which this particular instance appears to be just a dumb victim and not any malicious intent by the officer.
There are literally millions of interactions with officers every day, 99.9% have a positive outcome and a lot of people are appreciative of how they behave, but the few bad outcomes get magnified into oblivion.
I've never really had a bad interaction with a police officer and I've had a few but I also have no problem accepting accountability for speeding or whatever it is I did that was the reason for a stop.

accepting accountability
This is what it boils down to.
In just about 100% of any situation in life.
Fewer and fewer of us are capably of achieving this in life.

video clearly showed Officer Jones had his emergency lights activated as he approached a green light at the intersection of Louise St. and Thomas Delpit Dr. Investigators also determined that video showed the cyclist ran a red light, was in all dark clothing, pulled out in front of Officer Jones’s marked Police unit, and that Officer Jones was unable to avoid striking him
If the above account is true then in a world without ambulance chasing attorneys there would be no lawsuit.
Was the bike being stolen at the time???
Helmet is trying to use anything unrelated from the cop’s past to put a seed into potential black jury members and black local judges as the cause instead the dumb actions of her client that actually caused his own injuries and the wreck. Next she will have to include institutional racism issues with the police in general towards blacks since the cop involved is also black and would otherwise represent the kind of black on black violence her and her ilk usually ignore.
I bet she will not bring up DEI as the only reason this guy was still a cop at the time.
Speaking of DEI that helmet doesn’t bring up anymore… https://redstickmom.com/my-broken-boobs

2,547 Sober DUI Arrests in Tennessee since 2017
quote:
2,547 people have been arrested for DUI in Tennessee since 2017, despite testing negative for alcohol and drugs.
According to the newly released TBI data, 419 sober DUI arrests occurred in 2024, the highest number recorded in the last eight years. It's also the most recent year with full data, as blood tests are still being conducted for 2025 arrests.
Tennessee also has a new implied consent law, where if you refuse to give blood or breath samples it is an immediate revocation of driving privileges for 18 months...additionally, if a warrant is obtained for your blood your license will be suspended for 18 months for refusing the test, whether blood is collected or not. Even if the blood comes back negative for alcohol or drugs, your license will still be suspended for 18 months, just for the refusal. The new law also allows officers to obtain cheek swabs in the field using reasonable force if the driver refuses to submit to the testing.
While the implied consent law changes do make some sense...the changes, in conjunction with the highest rate (by far) of inaccurate DUI charges in the country, doesn't seem like a great match for Tennessee.

83 mph really would affect the minute the bicyclist had to react to a car coming at him. If he glanced to his right for 15 seconds and then to his left, the car would be so close that .....what could he have done, pedaled faster?
83 miles per hour is how many feet per second?
If my math is right the police car was traveling 7,304 feet per minute which is more than a mile.
HTH could anyone expect lights coming at them to be there in less than a min from over a mile away?

It's amazing the amount of crackheads you see slowly peddling through major intersections in the dark of night, dressed in dark clothing. There was one slothing around Essen and Perkins the other night.

This case is an outlier. If it weren't, "you'd know it."
Many people hate cops by default because they love criminals more than law and order. Plenty of evidence supporting THAT.
I think the number of people who hate cops is about the same as those who think police agents are the ONLY government employees who are efficient and are incapable of making a mistake or even outright being an a-hole. Strangely enough many in the latter group will suddenly change their tune when a cop acts an arse with them and many in the former will do the same thing when they need a cop for some reason. Most of us merely would appreciate it if cops did their jobs and were held to some degree of accountability given the enormous amount of trust and power we hand them. That's all...just don't routinely violate the rights of citizens. Be professional. Don't be irrationally scared of people...the work is hard, it ain't close to being among the 20 or so most dangerous occupations in the US...if it weren't for doing stupid shite like driving 83 in a 25 and kicking down the wrong door it would not be in the top 50. Cops are necessary....their bad behavior and tendency to view the world as "us against them" is unacceptable.
I saw it a couple of weeks ago. 4 cops, 4 cop cars, sitting at a mega church entrance after services directing traffic on a 4 lane road with a turning lane. Right at lunch time Sunday. Traffic heavy. There were 3 cars leaving the church. Those cops stopped about 80 cars so those 3 could turn left. Someone blew their horn, presumably because they were an a-hole but also because why do 3 cars need 4 cops to direct traffic and hold up 80 cars? It got worse. When the 3 cars had left those cops decided the most important thing that was needed that morning was to continue to hold up traffic as they began interrogating people about why they blew their horn. The approached about 20 of those 80 cars, had the driver roll their window down, and, at least in my case, ask why I had blown the horn. I was in my GMC 3500 pickup. Second car in the right hand lane....the horn that was blown was pretty obviously not mine and was further back in traffic. That made no difference....cop began lecturing me about how I could be arrested for apparently someone else blowing their horn. By the time they had made their point, whatever that point was, the number of cars that weren't even at the church when all of this began was probably close to 100 more. That is simply unacceptable. They did not make any attempt to find out who had blown their horn because there is no way they could have....but they had to make a show of their authority. I am certain to a man they consider themselves good cops....they ain't.

The article states that the investigation found that this guy on a bike ran a red light at the intersection while the cop had a green light and had his emergency lights on.

No they do not. Enough of this urban myth....this is a HUGE part of the problem....cops are convinced their lives are on the line every minute of every day. The job is somewhere in the mid 20s in most dangerous jobs in American and comparable to most health care professions and jobs like landscaping and small engine repair. Almost all construction occupations are far more dangerous. If you remove them doing stupid shite like driving far to fast for conditions and for no good reason, stopping in the middle of the road because someone has a tail light out and kicking in the wrong door to serve a warrant for bad checks the job doesn't crack the top 50. It is a damned hard job....dealing with the public, most of the time when they are not at the highest point in their lives, is demanding. Not many people can do it without some issues. We ask entirely too much out of them...they are not mental health professionals nor medical professionals. Most are basically security guards...their mere presence prevents most crime. Some also do some investigative work which is not inherently dangerous. Most of the people, even the criminals, they encounter are not violent criminals. The idea that its a dangerous job is harmful...it isn't dangerous compared to many, many jobs. The idea that going home at the end of the day is far less likely among policeman than it is among loggers and iron workers....or even garbage men, creates a high degree of irrational fear on the part of cops and allows those wont to act a fool to do so.
