The Portland police's priorities when it comes to cycling are . . . hard to justify. Someday, I'd like to see a truck driver get the official police thumbs-down for right-hooking and killing a rider. It seems like there is nothing that will make the driver at fault, in our police and prosecutors' eyes. It can be broad daylight, the cyclist can be stationary, she can be in a marked bike lane, apparently doesn't matter.
