This may be the dumbest quote I have ever heard
Here is more on my friend Roger's accident. Clyde, North Carolina has a moron for a police chief.
This is quite possibly the most idiotic thing I have ever seen a law officer say since Smokey and the Bandit, and I have heard a lot. At least Jackie Gleason's Buford T. Justice was a great comedic performance.
Roger was hit by the driver when the vehicle driver pulled out directly in front of him.
"In Hinson’s case, Dendy said there are “two ways to look at what caused him to hit the ground so hard” — be it the truck’s collision with the bike, or the rate of speed at which the bike was traveling.
Here is the best part.
“He was injured because he fell to the ground,” said Dendy. “The car didn’t run over him ... I feel like he was very lucky to walk away from that. But just because he was on a bike doesn’t mean I should treat him any differently. Isn’t that singling out a particular group, bikers? The guy feels terrible about what happened and has been very concerned about Mr. Hinson. What would it have done for his accident for this guy to get a ticket?”
Comments like this from those in the criminal justice system highlight the need to preserve everyone's right to access the civil justice system.
