This actually happened back in October 2012, but there is a reason it is being brought up again this week. Please leave comments about this story and let us know how you feel. In the video, you can see clear as day a NYPD patrol car literally hit and run over 2 men on a dirt bike in the Bronx. The prosecutor declined to charge the officer driving with any wrong doing. Meanwhile, the man driving the dirt bike actually died as a result of the police car hitting him, and the passenger on the back required surgery on his leg. The controversy starts with the fact that the man on the back on the bike is due in court this week to face charges of reckless endangerment, resisting arrest and reckless driving. However he is now suing the NYPD for that crash. I hope he has a case.
We all know dirt bike riding through the streets of New York City is illegal, but it is hardly a serious crime. For anyone who watches the video of the crash, it is very difficult to believe the Cop driving did not do that on purpose. It wasn’t like he was caught offguard by the bike or anything like that. He had it in his sights the same way a Air Force jet has an enemy in its sights right before shooting the enemy out of the sky. You can not tell me this was an accident. This is a case of a cop getting too emotionally involved in a petty chase and letting his ego get the best of him. He didn’t just barely bump the bike either, he really took them out. How he is not being charged with a crime is just mind blowing. This is why residents of this country barely have any trust for police as is. Was the chase on a dirt bike of two men who did not commit any crime other than having the bike really that serious to run them over?? This is disgusting and I hope somehow someway charges wind up being brought against the officer. The video you will see after the jump alone shows evidence the Cop did not use his proper judgement. Another case of the police being able to use some lame reason to excuse their behavior. Please watch the video.
