Speeding Houston Police Kill Man On Bicycle
In the early morning hours of Thursday April 23rd, a speeding Houston Police Department cruiser hit and killed a man on a bicycle in an intersection.
Houston police say Officer R. Scott was traveling westbound on Reed Road and had the green light when they say a man on a bicycle heading southbound on MLK biked into Reed Road and collided with Officer Scott. The impact killed the man. Officer Scott, a veteran of HPD since 2011, survived with minor injuries.
We know the officer’s squad car lights were not on and investigators are working to see if the bicyclist had any lights on his bike. Witnesses tell us the officer was traveling fast. HPD is looking into that as is standard in their investigations.
Houston Police Department spokesperson Kese Smith said, “The officer had the green light. He didn’t see the bicyclist and as soon as he saw him he tried to avoid it – the cyclist – unsuccessfully and struck the cyclist. The cyclist has been pronounced dead at the scene.”
The crash is now under investigation by the HPD Vehicular Crimes Division and the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
What? Did you really think the police would admit responsibility for the death of the bicyclist? Of course the light was green and of course the bicyclist was at fault and of course it’s a tragedy that police could not have avoided. Never mind that the police have not substantiated their claims with any evidence. Never mind that the officer was speeding without his lights or siren in operation. Never mind that the man will never get off his bike and embrace his loved ones again. Never mind any of that. Until it is you or your loved one killed by the arrogant carelessness of authority, it just doesn’t matter. Right?

Gee CASE CLOSED. YOU got em Sherlock and saved the world. LOL
Guilty before proven guilty, eh? Yea that makes you happy? You think all cop related incidents are their fault? What is your problem? You are no better than the bad cops. In fact you are worse.
YOU SAY:
We know the officer’s squad car lights were not on. Really? How, were you there? NOT.
Witnesses tell us… Told whom? YOU personally? NOT.
Houston Police Department spokesperson Kese Smith said… to whom? YOU? NOT.
That is called plagiarism when you copy another reporters story parts and it is unlawful without his/her permission. A copyright violation. So who is the actual proven criminal here? YOU are. That is a fact.
This is not investigative reporting or giving any verifiable facts. It is simply stealing a reporters story parts for your own story and brainwashing people to believe your personal idiotic opinion.
Who did you interview or speak to officially as a BIN reporter or otherwise? Obviously no one. You just read an article somewhere and copied parts of it and went with it to suit your desired outcome, hu?
There are situations where police involved incidents are not their fault and you know it. I am not saying that this incident has been timely substantiated with any verification or facts …as yet, but give the investigators a chance to do their job and see what all of the witnesses say. YOU are a reporter, no? DID you Contact them and talk to them. NO.
People like YOU make me sick. You are just mentally sick retards looking to cause trouble, not to defend anyones truths or injustices. YOU are a FEARMONGER and HATE police in general, that is obvious to all.
Some people, cops and reporters are bad people, then there are many more that are good people.
Right is right and wrong is wrong. YOU ARE WRONG when you ASS-U-ME as well.
Who made you the investigator, judge and jury?
YOU slander the officer publicly without any justification or proof? That is against the officers civil rights. I hope that he sues you.
YOU are the arrogant careless reporter spreading hate and fear and this story of yours is also criminal public harassment against the officer.
SHAME ON YOU!!! SHAME SHAME SHAME
I hope you are arrested for your crimes.
What a damn hypocrite. This post has at least as much assumption, as the post it is criticizing, and, ten times the amount of condemnation. Extremely judgemental, very vitriolic, too negative, and way too vicious. R u perhaps taking a bad day u may have had, out on copblock?
