HOLY CRAP!
He didn't do anything... they were talking like he moved his right arm [as if to reach for weapon]. But, I didn't see his arm move other than when his body turned to look. I'm sure with his exhaust he didn't even hear the officer. What gets me, why are all these officers running up to motorcyclist with their guns drawn in the first place? Like, a display of acceleration is the mark of someone that's going to shoot to kill?

Its part of the militarization of our local police force, which is encouraged and provided for through grants and funds provided for by the federal government. SWAT teams, MP5s, Riot shields, etc. etc. Our police are trained to deal with the American public as if they are all violent felons, and after a while police officers have trouble seeing the difference.

Police see everyone as a potential criminal. Period.
