Not to make light of this tragedy (as I am wont to do), but that's another one for the Clinton Bodycount. Just to keep this out of the realm of politics, I'm thinking this is more of a curse than a conspiracy.

Seems to me that there have been a few of these deaths in recent years. It's dangerous work for those officers because they're constantly passing the motorcade to clear the way.

Actually FJ I think the last two to go down were on duty for the current POTUS, one in Hawaii, one in New Mexico. Yes, it is far more dangerous than folks think and likely more dangerous than the officers anticipate. I say a prayer for him, another bike brother gone...

When I was a kid I hated "the fuzz" but have grown-up .
They do a thankless job for way too little pay in my opinion. Here in Fort Smith, a cop starts out at 33K plus health...sounds like alot until you factor in you run the chance every day of..!!! I'm glad there are men and women
willing to do that. I have tried to make up for my "fuzz" comments by teaching my kids to respect our folks in blue.

It breaks my heart anytime I see bike down like that. Those guys practically live on their bikes and in some places regardless of the weather conditions. My hat is off to those guys. My condoleces to that family and those officers who have lost a brother. God Bless!
Its more fun to be ridin'! I'm still ridin
