You didn't watch the whole video he was going 120 in town where the speed limit was 45mph.

I'd like to hear the justification for that 130mph pass with 2 wide. If the car in the the fast lane slowed up to move behind the truck there's mega potential for a lot of hurt people.

If we're chasing a pedo....I can buy it, just clocked a random.....pure reckless.

A lot of firefighters and police officers are adrenaline junkies .

Yes the cop should have radioed ahead but when your caught up and adrenaline is pumping anything can happen. That is why I am not a cop and I’m pretty sure most of you talking smack aren’t either.


You just stated what many are thinking. "Anything can happen"



What if a child and her expecting mother were crossing one of those intersections after the motorcycle goes by and the trooper smokes them at 120 mph?

Cop ain't goin 150 mph.

Unless alla the cars he's passin are doin 100.

Closure's too slow.

No side draft from passed cars/trucks, lane change for the moron that didn't move over was too easy.

Scary part is, that bike t-boning a car would probably damn near cut it in half going that fast. Cop should have backed off.



It would.
We had an old man killed here. T-boned by a sport bike.
Biker dead too. Car demolished.

An Irish friend told me of a bike wreck he saw in Germany.
A BMW rider T-boned a farm tractor. Snapped the tractor in two
where you split it. 600 # at 150mph is no joke.

Was taking my son and a friend of his down to the deer lease south of Sheffield once from Odessa one Saturday morning while driving my 93 Corvette down I - 10. Figured no cops were around that time of day so I was cruising about 110. Crap. Met a county mount who turned and came after us so I pulled over. Figured I was screwed. He was out of Sheffield and asked what I was doing. Told him I was blowing the soot out and no traffic. We got talking and his dad was a dr in Odessa and he let me go. PTL.
