Has anyone ever even heard of a cop doing anything like this before?

Has anyone ever even heard of a cop doing anything like this before? A biker gets maced and that biker goes down and speed suddenly becomes the life or death decider. That is, of course, if you're not in the mountains or on a bridge.

More how you dress than speed, but still, what an asshat.

Douglas McMillan, at 100MPH, how you dress doesn't really matter.

Jason ON Sure it does, I've hit the ground at nearly that speed with only a minor injury. Racers do it all the time and usually don't get a scratch. 

Someone wearing t-shirt, shorts, and a half helmet won't be so lucky.

Of course, if you hit a tree, curb, car, mailbox, etc, while you're sliding, proper gear only helps so much and you're likely going to get quite badly hurt.

There's where we have a difference of perspective. I'm under the assumption that if you're going >100MPH you're going to hit something, whether that something is a tree, a car, a highway divider - something! We are very rarely in places as wide open as the salt flats.

That officer is a moron. If would have say that i would have pulled off to the shoulder of the road and got his badge number and called his superiors about that.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
