Think about it from a security standpoint.... a guy on a bike sitting at a red light, if some constituent has been particularly disgruntled lately it wouldn't take much to take the mayor out. You don't get much more vulnerable than sitting on a bike in the middle of DC traffic at midday. Maybe the police officers suggested that they run red lights? maybe the trained professionals are doing their job and keeping the mayor safe.
There are times I feel like I need to be protected from jerk off motorists, and I am not an unpopular mayor.......
