One, that's a scooter; not a moped. Depending on the model, they can have motors up to 500cc (although that one doesn't look like it's bigger than 125cc). Still, they can reach 60+ MPH. Secondly, who knows why the rider is being chased. He may have just committed armed robbery. It must have been something serious to warrant that much attention. I happened upon a police motorcycle accident Friday night on my way home from--of all things--training local police academy cadets. Once we called 911 and told them that it was an officer down, we had 10 squad cars, four fire trucks and EMT plus a police helicopter on us in less than five minutes. Some situations will draw in all officers within range. Lastly, this would be better placed in the 'WTF' thread; so I'm moving it there... Cheers! M2

No, that would be Belgium!

Also take a ride on The Tube (STS), just so you can say you did...

If you're only going to be there for a few days, I'd recommend staying in London. There is a lot to keep you busy during such a short time. Your hotel should give you some suggestions, preferably in walking distance or a short cab ride as you will be partaking in the local brews! Have fun, London is one of my favorite cities in the world. If you can't have fun there, it's not the city's fault! Cheers! M2

Driving to and from work is still more dangerous...

Try reading what I wrote. There are certain areas where it infringes on the rights of others, therefore it is not allowed. But I like how you blow it up to apply everywhere, just like the media... How are they not violating it? It is clear they were causing a disruption, which is against the law. If they moved somewhere else where they weren't impeding on pedestrian/vehiclular traffic, then it wouldn't have been a problem. And I wonder if the First Amendment rights of the Oklahoma rodeo clown who wore the Obama mask are being so adamantly defended? No, there are calls for criminal investigations in that case. Way to go, liberals!

They're just enforcing the laws your elected officials put in place. If you disagree, then use the democratic system to change them. Plus, if you really think this makes the US a "police state," you really are playing up on the rhetoric, aren't you? Have you actualy ever been in a true "police state?" I doubt it if you're making this comparison, that is, unless you are only doing so for the "dramatic effect" of calling it that...

The pathway they were on, plus the traffic on the street. They were asked to move, refused, then when told to they failed to obey the lawful direction of a law enforcement officer. At that point the officer has the right to detain the individual, even using the tactics used. The bottom line is play stupid games, win stupid prizes. They were told to leave and didn't, therefore got what they deserved. Just because you disagree with the law doesn't give anyone the right to ignore it. By the way, a similar protest here included two individuals legally carrying long arms. The local police also showed up and told them to vacate the overpass for the same reason. The individuals did and went on their merry way...

If they were causing any disruption, it does apply.

Yes, it's called Unlawful Assembly. Look up Adderley v. Florida (1966). The US Supreme Court has ruled that"[t]he State, no less than a private owner of property, has power to preserve the property under its control for the use to which it is lawfully dedicated." These individuals were blocking a pathway, therefore the police had every right to request they leave then take action when they refused, as it is trespassing at the point.

Happy to hear it!

If Christie is the GOP nominee in '16 than I am finding another party to vote for. There are so many better candidates, Ted Cruz or Rand Paul are two that come to mind...

It wasn't a "fail" (sic) post, it was a direct answer to something you should already know... And if you didn't, you should put more effort into finding the answer yourself being showing your ass on a public forum. Lastly, this type of question goes in the General Discussion area ("discuss general topics in the Military and Aviation"), not the Squadron Bar ("off-topic discussions"). I've moved it in the correct section, please put a little more thought into where to post threads in the future.

More funny shit from Tosh.0... 10 Magnificent Glamour Shots Manicorn... Action Dad... SpongeThug SagPants "I mostly like playing video games. That is, when I'm not busy slaying poontang." "Come on honey, we can be big bad bikers. Your friends will think it's RAD!" Some say black cats are bad luck, but life seems to be working out fine for this guy. "Yeah now blow on it. No, not in a sexy way. Like it's hot soup… yeeeaaaah, there it is." They wanted coordinating outfits, so they beat up and robbed Kid N' Play on their way to the shoot. Even the baby thinks this theme is vague and conflicted. And the award for World's Fanciest Sensei goes too…

Same could be said about Duke Cunningham...

Shack, hence my previous comment...

Weak and unconvincing argument. Just because the Tea Party adopted the Gadsden Flag doesn't negate its long and proud history and use in this country. And if you look closely, the one in question is not even the same as the traditional flag being used by the Tea Party. If you can prohibit the use of a national symbol so easily, then I guess you are going to do the same for the bald eagle because the NRA uses it in its logo... And to the elected douchebags of New Rochelle from the proud citizens of Texas..."come and take it!"
