Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

for a FACT? as in you have known every single police officer out there and know their own intentions? No, what you're saying is a generalization based on assumptions by the people who have not had a good experience with police officers and sadly it is often those that broke the law in the first place and deserved it. I am a minority yet it's only my white friends who have been "Targeted" by the police for some reason yet are too dense to see that they were arrested because they broke the law. This kid didn't need to die but the end result of this situation was caused by his own actions, that car wouldn't have ended up on top of him if he had stopped but clearly he's above following society's rules and that's why he's no longer part of it.

Nah, I don't now every single police officer out there nor do I know their own intentions, thats why I said,"I know for a fact that a lot of them do," not every single police officer out there, but a lot of them, get your **** straight before you make a fool of yourself....oops....to late.

The only decent cops I have met are rent-a-cops.

Poor cop my ass, who goes into the job thinking they're just going to pet puppies all day and help ducklings cross the road?
