Power-Mad Cop Tickets Cyclist On Venice Bike Path Because Cop Is An Asshole
Unbelievably great chronicling of a power-mad asshole who thinks he can bring the hammer down on somebody for speaking freely -- and correctly.
The guy in the video apparently told the cop he was blocking the way. And indeed, when somebody -- just somebody on a slim regular bike -- is stopped on that bike path on a weekend day, especially, it can be dangerous for people biking along on the path.
A cop's motorcycle is a big thing -- really blocking the way. (The asshole cop by all rights should have ticketed himself -- and then crumpled up the ticket and stuffed it in his mouth so he could shut himself up before incriminating himself on video for abuse of his position.)
First, here's the news story about the bogus ticket this power-mad abusive weenie of a cop gives a guy on a beach cruiser (bike), but the full video (below this first video) is the cake:
Watch the whole thing:
Why King Cop says he doesn't also ticket a girl on a skateboard: "She isn't being sarcastic."
From InformationLiberation:
On Friday, Detective Gus Villanueva of the Los Angeles Police Department's Media Relations Section said that the "ticket had been canceled in the interest of justice." The department is conducing a personnel investigation into the conduct of the officer involved and would not comment further, Villanueva said.
LAPD outta control.

How about this, thinking out loud, haven't had coffee: When police are sued for misconduct, awards are tightly capped, but those awards are taken from the collective pay of the entire force in proportion to earnings... (Maybe double the contribution for everyone over the rank of captain or something.)
Thanks, I'm here all week. No, please... Thank you. Thank you very much. Yes. Thanks. Listen, your applause is tremendously gratifying to me, but not at all necessary. Thank you. Good morning.

I couldn't watch the whole thing.
The cop was just so stupid.

I understand California has no weather, but how long can the average non-marxist tolerate the ass-clowns like Moonbeam, DiFi and the post above?? There is no way I'd live there. I'll take the weather in MI.

Chaparral mountains. Coastal kelp forests. Cool, breezy deserts surrounding magnificent shirt-sleeve snowcaps. Sushi; museums; nightlife; innovation.
And everywhere you look: Tail, tail, tail.

That still doesn't overcome stupid gun control laws, curtailment of other freedoms, Rodney King, an income tax rate as high as 13.3%, the L.A. shootings. SF banning fast food kid's meals.

Tail, tail, tail, tail, tail....
Also, high-paying telecommunications daywork.
Afterwards, tail. And good weather.

And an economy that put's a $90K salary at barely breaking even.

What a moronic asshole! And fuck his 1970's moustache too.
Loved the suggestion Crid- it should be implemented immediately. From what I hear even small violations can be a week's salary in California.

That's how they pay for Big Government and the unaffordable programs the assholes elected by moron voters put in.

That and the polyester ties. I think all those cops shop from the Sabotage collection.

While this guy may have been ticketed for a BS violation, overall the cop's attitude and conduct was hardly the worst compared to what many have come to expect from police nowadays. If you film police or argue with them like this, you can increasingly expect to be arrested on some BS violation or beaten or tasered.
Compared to most police nowadays, this officer's conduct was almost gentlemanly. Where I live, I have certainly never encountered a police officer who addresses members of the public as sir. Instead it is more like 'ah pleb, justify your existence to me, your overlord'.

Yeah, but the guy had twenty people watching him

Time to can the LAPD, and contract out for services from the Sheriff's Department. Or Rent a Guard, whoever....the LAPD'ers get pensions in 20-25 years?
On your dime they do.
