Sad "...but the cops intention was to make contact..." Maybe, no one knows what was in the officer's mind but it's safe to assume that he wanted the bike to stop.

What it is exactly like is that the officer did not kick him off the bike regardless of what you wanted to see him do. Luck doesn't come into it.

Luck doesn't come into it. He used the word ‘similar’. This story is about a guy who kicked another person off their bike, and whether or not this action is attempted murder. The other story is about a police officer who tried to do the same (you kick out at someone’s bike and there’s a very good chance you’ll connect and knock them off). The poster didn’t say exactly the same. He said ‘similar’. Similar ‘resembling without being identical’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the micro-second pic that you show he is not making contact and that is not the stage at which the rider came off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please quote me where I said the officer did kick him off his bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiggley Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Maybe the cop did not make content but the intention was there before the bike was dropped. If the lad had not dropped the bike I am sure the cop would have made contact, it is called acting before you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee2 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 19 hours ago, rkidlad said: The original poster said both stories were similar. Meaning both police officer and motorcycle taxi driver tried to kick someone off their bikes. Whether or not they connected their kicks or made made contact and knocked them off is a different story. Kicking out at people’s bikes is extremely dangerous and could most certainly lead to people’s deaths. I agree that it could result in serious injuries even death. For one rider to kick another, I wouldn't condone it. But no matter what the circumstances, if you flee from the police to avoid arrest, you alone are responsible for any injuries you sustain from the actions taken by the officer to assist it your apprehension and arrest. In comparison, London Police use their patrol cars as rams to stop fleeing suspects on motorcycles. It's been an effective tool to reduce snatch and grab thefts.
