resipsaloquitur comments on UK police trying to stop youths on motorcycles.

Spoken like someone who hasn’t a tire blowout on a motorcycle. Or an idiot.

So the officer similarly wasn’t hurt, since it was just walking speeds?

Any trip over the handlebars is potentially lethal. You’re a callous moron.

Massive skill issue if a flat tyre sends you over the bars. That's an extremely unlikely thing to happen.

Do you think the office was badly, potentially lethally, hurt?

Always be attacking, eh? Don’t answer my question but expect me to answer yours?

Yes, being knocked over like that is potentially lethal.

As would be abruptly stopping those on the bikes.

Here’s a man being knocked over at 0 mph and receiving a concussion at best: https://youtu.be/-HFsRn-oKd4

Which was the point I made. That you haven’t countered.

And, again, what offense did each and every single biker do to merit a cop recklessly endangering their life?

You feel attacked by a single question that is neutral in tone and asks you to clarify the argument you are making?

So would this group driving be considered reckless and dangerous if it knocked over a pedestrian in clear view on a street with a walkway potentially lethally?
