especially when you're not wearing a helmet and riding an unregistered bike:

There is a lot of unsaid info. It might be that the rider was a very bad character and really wanted by the law. If the LEO in question was not charged with anything he was probably doing his best to stop the rider as soon as possible so as not to endanger other folks in the area. Crashing into the bike and rider would be a tough call but we don't know enough to make a judgement.

Im from NY and i saw this on the news the other day and this dont surprise me by the cops here. By this video, regardless if the 2 guys on the bike did something wrong and were wanted, the police are wrong to do this. Its wrong to run someone down with a vehicle and against the law. But im sure these cops will get away with this.
