Very sad news.
Very sad indeed and surprisingly in the middle of day. They have to subpoena those phone recs.
What an F@ckin A$$hole… I hope this cop gets prosecuted. The fact remains the police officier killed this man with a deadly weapon and the man was not armed and just riding his bike in the bike lane. The cop was probably following too close behind him or not paying attention, either way he killed a man that he was PAID to PROTECT.

And the on board dash cam as well as on board computer usage.
Awful. An area I ride by often, and an area frequented by cyclists. There’s not much info yet on what happened, but I pray they don’t give the cop a pass on this.
curious why it takes the daily mail to let us know this and not a US based news

It’s being covered in the LA Times, and all of the local networks have stories on it as well, with additional details beyond the Daily Mail piece.

Dude seriously? I hope no one ever breaks into your house and you have to call one of those “A$$holes.”

I understand the OP’s frustration. Maybe there is more to the story that we do not yet know. How in the world does this cop hit a cyclist in the middle of the day in the bike lane? Makes no sense but does make you angry. Doesn’t matter if he is a cop or a priest or whatever. Too may cyclists are killed by cars.

Yes, because cursing at this particular policeman who killed someone apparently for no reason is equivalent to criticizing all policeman. Yes indeed it is. Or at least this cop hopes that the attitude the public and any potential jury take.
Can’t call a cop out for something terrible since that’s attacking all the men and women in blue. Yessiree.

It is the way he called him out. If he did something negligent that caused the death, then the officer is in the wrong and he should receive disciplinary action, whether it be through the court system or through the LASO or both. They do call them accidents for a reason however, and if that was the case, then it was a tragic one. Calling him a F@ckin A$$hole, kind of over the top. Statements such as “The cop was probably following too close…” and “not paying attention” are simply innuendoes with no justifiable factual basis. It is the same thing as calling someone a doper just because they had a great time or finished first. And since we all know how good cyclists are at obeying traffic laws…

I wasn’t aware that not following traffic laws gave cops justifiable cause to kill someone?
they don’t call them accidents anymore, they call them crashes, for a reason

The news reports seem to indicate the cyclist was in the bike lane when he was hit by the car. If that was truly the case, then there aren’t very many other explanations other than negligence. I don’t think it’s that over the top to call someone that kills someone when negligently operating a motor vehicle a fucking asshole. And I certainly don’t see how that opinion could be interpreted in any way as a statement about cops in general, which you seemed to do.

+1
Now maybe we can refocus on the fact that another cyclist has lost his life to the driver of a car.

He didn’t lose his life “to a car” it was due to the driver. This is similar to “gun’s don’t kill people, people kill people.”

He looks like a very nice man. And used to be COO of Napster. It’s even hit TMZ.
Very sad. And hopefully they will figure out what happened.

Booo Hooo… the COP in this case is a Fu@king A$$hole… Whether he KILLED him intentionally or not… he KILLED SOMEONE with his 5000 pound vehicle in broad daylight, dry conditions and in a friggin bike lane. The cop was breaking the law by being the the frickin bike lane to begin with. I don’t care if the cop was scratching his balls and accidently hit him and killed him. Let see… how many people in the 40 some years I’ve been driving have I killed someone on the road… NONE. How people have l hit with my car… NONE. How many people does an average person hit on the road… for 99.9% of people it’s NONE.
This was negligent… he should not have been given a license to drive, much less a badge. If I was on the jury I’d say prison for at least 10 years.
