no it wasn't,. mark my words, the "blocks" kids are going to explode this summer, what started out as SE bikes building big bmx for old white d00ds that never took off was taken up by black urban kids who discovered a 29" bmx bike is way easy to wheelie.
This was done based on all those urban kids riding dirt bikes on the street (remember the west side highway attack?) who cant ride or afford motorcycles, the kids discovererd they can have as much fun as those on motorcycles with these big bmx bikes.
go watch video of rddblocks, hoodrich, brokeboyz (santos), et al. This is what they do. I've ridden with these guys. It's a shit ton of fun, but it's straigh up illegal street hooliganism. that's the fucking draw.
you all telling me "prove they were not swerving cars" is like me asking you to prove hockey players skate on ice.
bike plates are bullshit and the cop was just trying to warn the kid that there is statute they dont enforce about bike licencing, saying if they keep swerving cars, and disturbing the peace they have a bigger hammer.
no the kids would not have gone home and cowed. the whole point is to mob the streets.
but you go on, tell me more about #bikelife culture, that I live.
AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

agreed, but it's about the rebellion, it's about the thrill, it's about impressing your peers. I'm usually middle back of big ride out packs and a ton of these kids are super talented. most stay in a reasonable pack, but then there are the outliers who swerver last second while doing wheelies to oncoming traffic who ruin the whole culture of bikelife which is about getting kids out of bad situations and boredom which leads to trouble and putting them on bikes.
this has been a great thing, but there is severe potential to ruin it with antics such as described by this incident which led to the cops intervening. The cops were not the bad guys here and simply took the most aggressive offender, brought him to the station then released him with his bike with a warning.
This to me is an appropriate response by the police for the hooliganism the kids engaged in.
one of the things I do with our charity is we give these bikes away to kids who work hard in school each year, I ride them, I know and am part of this culture.
these cops acted near perfectly to a growing problem.
btw, this is what these kids try to emulate to varying success. I can wheelie pretty well, I don't do "combos", (moving your feet around the pedals and pegs while in a wheelie)

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

I used to drive a bus like that back when I was in college. The first snow of the season was always a campus-wide snowball fight, and I happened to have a shift when it occurred. Driving through campus was running the gauntlet. After the center street, turn right onto the circumferential road and gun it for the hill, and it was pretty much mandatory to have the pedal on metal to gain momentum. One dude got bold and stood in the middle of the road just before this steep uphill section, and I just pretended that he wasn't there. He was lucky to get out in time.
Yes it is, unlike the fairy tale concocted by BAC. Did you also see how Biden has weighed in on the trial. I find that just incredible that a politician can do that in the US and escape censure. I frankly can't see how an appeal for a mistrial would fail given both Biden and Mad Max's behaviour.
