Also in the Ben Clough case, the police press release stated that the cyclist wasn't wearing a helmet. So the press dutifully reported that a helmetless cyclist died in a collision, implying that it was the cyclist's fault. What they neglected to mention was that the driver had run a red light to hit Ben. The police didn't tell them. It wasn't in their press release.
Police drive recklessly.
Reckless police officers have come close to injuring me on multiple occasions. Once a police officer passed cyclist Tommy Eden so close he nearly hit Tommy. When Tommy caught up to the officer, he asked for the officer's badge number, and was arrested for doing so. Police make little effort to recover stolen bikes. I probably should have been harsher on APD in the article, since I had quotes from people saying APD doesn't give a shit about bicyclists.
