"Asshat number two - Welcome to the discussion!"
i second that unfortunate greeting. and do we now have a third candidate knocking on the door as well?
Frank randomly conjectures out of the blue: "anyone confirm if the rider was wearing ear buds or head phones? i see lots ah folks walking, riding, running, and driving wearing these things...no bueno dudes!!!!"
uhhh, what is it with this tendency to imply some sort of blame on the part of this deceased bicyclist with absolutely no information whatsoever at this point to remotely suggest as much. without any such info to go on it's rather bizarre considering it's quite clear that, if anything, by default the operators of motor vehicles are basically responsible to avoid pedestrians and bicyclists, not the other way around.
at this point we could randomly speculate any hypothetical to suggest blame where we might choose according to our bias. was the bicyclist intoxicated? was the officer drunk? was the bicyclist performing dangerous tricks at the time? was the officer distracted by a personal call on his mobile device? did a mongoose dart into the road creating a chain reaction?
