We have some little ****es locally who are nicking bikes and causing problems throwing fireworks at people and into shops, they also smashed the windows out of two police cars that were outside the nick FGS . Wish the barstewards were fooking dead, scum the lot of them.

Seriously
I agree with you (sort of), but really....It takes a bike to catch a bike.
What if the police knocked over an innocent rider by mistake, and that rider died as a result?
Its very easy for them to make a mistake and target an innocent rider. I'm saying this because about 5 years ago, I was pulled over while riding my FireBlade at around 1am. It seems that about 10 minutes earlier, an armed robbery had taken place at a petrol station across town, by a guy riding a motorcycle. Since I was the only biker they saw on the road, it had to be me, or so they believed.
I won't mention what abuse I had to go through before a message finally came over the radio that they'd caught the real culprit. I didn't even get as much as a simple apology.
I suppose I'm lucky they didn't have an ARV in the area, or they might just as well have shot me
Personally, I don't agree with these latest tactics. Imagine if they were chasing a rider, knocked him off, and the bike were to hit a pedestrian, perhaps a child, and that pedestrian were to die as a result?

Sod that, if you're trying to evade the police on a moped/motorbike, you are fair game, especially in London or any big city. The use of mopeds to conduct crime is rife and a brutal response is required
