But wow, that's one uptight cop. I vote we swarm that officer and “teach” him some safety. :)

Of course, I’m kidding. But wow, that’s one uptight cop.

Yeah, hindsight is 20/20. At the time I was too flustered to do anything but think “how to placate and escape from crazy policeman”. Yeah, hindsight is 20/20.

Nothing dumber than abuse of power for no reason. Personally I’d have asked for his name and badge number, that’s endangering someone’s life to prove a very stupid point.

That cop tried to kill you. What if you had actually been injured? That's terrible. I'm just trying to consider the ethics of this whole thing.... terrible. No way. That cop tried to kill you.

I would go talk to the real police, if I were you. Normally I'm not the kind of guy that condones pushing issues, but you could have been seriously injured just so this moron could prove a point. At the very least, this guy should get talked to. It is an egotistical world we’re living in. I would go talk to the real police, if I were you.

It always amuses me to see TV shows and movies where they are "WALK" and "DON'T WALK"--that raises the user requirements of the sign to "must be able to read" and "must be able to speak English". But yes, that police officer exhibited very strong signs of in-duh-vidualism. If I were you, I'd condense the story down and send it to Scott Adams to put in the next Dilbert Newsletter. :D We’ve got the same type of crossing lights here too.

They are much more important than bicycle policemen with inflated egos. Note: I am not denigrating janitors. They are much more important than bicycle policemen with inflated egos.
