Jul 24, 2018 Motorcycle cops are a necessity! They get to where your big Crown Vics cannot! They are also faster and easier to maneuver than a big ol' bulk car. Get off your ridiculous pedestal about Motorcycles!!

Jul 23, 2018 Certainly the man should be punished for the drunken vehicular manslaughter. Drunk driving is indeed very bad. But, then again, this is part of the reason that police officers should stop driving motorcycles. No sense making a dangerous job even more dangerous.

Jul 23, 2018 @[Burgers Allday] - of course you know he was drunk. He was twice the legal limit at 6am!

Jul 22, 2018 I don't know if Breedlove was drunk or not, but the officer might well still be alive if they had just taken way his motorcycle and given him a Crown Vic with front and side airbags.

Jul 22, 2018 @[Burgers Allday] - life is full of hazards. In this case, the fault lies in a drunk driving a car, clearly against the law. If he stayed at home or took a cab instead of driving, the officer would be alive today. It had nothing to do with the motorcycle and everything to do with a drunk person behind the wheel of a car.

Jul 22, 2018 Time to end the custom of police motorcycles -- it is costing too many blue lives.
