When law-abiding citizens are treated like common criminals, can we really say we live in a free society?
Perhaps so, but it’s getting increasingly hard to defend this proposition as video after video shows American citizens doing nothing wrong yet being singled out for mistreatment by law enforcement. There are always bad apples of course, but how many bad apples can there be before they spoil the rest of the bunch?
Take the case of several bikers traveling down a highway in Fort Worth, Texas. Despite their imposing appearances, the bikers are recorded driving peacefully and responsibly as they pass by a police car that had just stopped a truck.
As the motorcycles pass by, the cop exits his vehicle, wielding what appears to be mace. He watches the bikers for a couple seconds before he raises his hand and inexplicably sprays the mace at them, something that could easily have caused an accident.
Thankfully, nobody was hurt, but many were upset, including the Fort Worth police, who promptly pulled the cop from patrol duty.

That’s bs! It’s assault on every bike that went by! He knows what his spray can do! This shows his intent to do bodily harm! He could have caused major injuries if the bikers had wrecked!! I have so many law enforcement friends and family and also have many family members who ride! This police officer, after he serves his sentence should find a new line of work.
there is MUCH more to this story!!! He didn’t just decide to do this. he has a motorcycle in his garage!
Damn it must suck to be so ignorant! “Mace” Pepper spray, although made from an item you can get in the produce section, is considered a weapon by most civilized countries, and is restricted to some extent in nearly all of them. Pepper spray causes temporary blindness, pain, breathing problems and panic: when it’s used excessively, it can kill. At minimum what he did was assault if not attempted murder.
The people defending this cop don’t have a clue, I’m an excop he should be brought up on charges of Unbecoming a Police Officer and fired, you never spray anything at a moving vehicle, that vehicle could crash into children and Kill them, he’s a disgrace to the uniform. !
They should have beat his$#%&!@*to death
Another government is always roght fan
With your logic if he would have discharged his shotgun in that direction just merely shooting the air not at at in Target would that be any better?
It’s Texasistan. What more can you expect from corrupt murdering cops in that stupid state
As a police officer and public worker he is held to a higher level than you me or the General Public he is not fit for his duties and needs to be accountable for his actions clearly he has no self-control or restraint or care for the General Public.
Evidently he was in the wrong is the department pulled him off duty..IMMEDIATELY!!! Read the article!!
