His speed from the time he approached the cop, until the time he was pulled over ranged between 69 and 82 mph.

The wheelie, and higher speeds were not in the vicinity of the cop.

There was NO excuse for pulling a weapon for a mere traffic stop.

Also, much less excuse for being a horrible officer, and placing himself and everyone nearby at great risk by emerging, gun drawn, from an unmarked vehicle, with NO badge, and failing to identify himself as police for over 5 seconds.

If I was carrying, and someone came at me with gun drawn, and screaming to get off the bike like that...I'd probably assume a hijack, and shoot the dumb motherfucker right between the eyes.

That stupid cop is lucky to be alive.
