It just bothers me that the "thugs" outnumber and have more rights than the Law Enforcement.  And when a Thug takes off and runs....they have little chance of being caught and brought to justice.  When it is a single biker you might have a chance - but when they arrive in packs you have not chance.  Cars are not nimble or fast enough to get away with running in packs.

I guess about the only thing you can do is pick one out of the crowd, and follow them with the helicopter until the biker comes to a stop and climbs off the bike.

Pine:

Law Enforcement (and private citizens) are only allowed to use deadly force when lives are in danger.  Someone running away is not considered to be a threat.......regardless of what they may have done before they started running.  In some ways that just seems stacked too much in favor of the alleged criminal.  Years ago one of the local officers was chasing a suspect and threw his Maglight at him.....and beaned him....and guess who got in the most trouble?  The officer was put on leave and ultimately got his job back.....but it was a black mark on his record and almost cost him his job.

It might seem that if a biker is running, and putting others in danger, that it might be acceptable for an officer to use his cruiser to knock the biker down....like they use their cars to block fleeing cars.  The sad fact is that the biker (or the bikers surviving kin) would file a lawsuit immediately for excessive force or wrongful death.

(Ooops...I have said too much and am about to get this thread put into the TT Section).
