Thank you
think Danny did a post on both of these cases over on Cyclists in the City. Seems anyone wishing to harm or kill someone here should just do so in a car to get away with it...
This is an interesting point. I just watched the last few minutes of a documentary about the Police in a village called Sandford.
It was one of those cop shows that are all over our screens at the moment - they follow a team around with a camera.
In the documentary there was some sort of civil disobedience going on and one of the officers swung his car door open to upend a cyclist who appeared (it might have been the edit) to be up to no good. She appeared to be armed, so that might justify it.
Whether the action was justified I cannot say, as I didn't see the whole show. But it did seem an ill-advised action on the part of the uniformed officer as it might encourage copycat acts.
