That was inevitable. Why would you ask for a motorbike, and then just go down the road normally thinking you'll be able to get away?
Oh my, that was very discussed on it's day. Spanish police isn't anything good even this days. And in this shitpile of place called Valencian Community I feel like if I could be beaten up anyday by the police just for having long hair or speaking in catalan, jeez. Some days ago the Police came in the Carnival night to our town because there was a conflict with some neo-nazi and republican (not the same republican as in USA), and they ended beating up everyone in the town plaza, and nearly everyone goes there that night. Today, the town's neighbor association made a concentration against police brutality, and wow, when I saw three police cars and three vans with antidisturb police crossing the railwaycross of the town where all the concentration I had that feeling of not being able to do nothing but watch and get angry with this shit.
Ummmmm, he flipped twice and landed on his head, i think its safe to say that he suffered :icon_bigg ( having flipped over and fallen on my head myself ( back when i was younger and i rode BMX), I can tell you, even with a helmet, it hurts like hell. And thats if you DONT knock yourself out. If you do, expect to come to with a throbbing headache)
I wish the Police in England were like this. Here they won't blow cotton wool at a criminal for fear of breaching human rights.
I think thats kind of dumb, I mean I understand why people think even a thugs life is more valuable than whatever he wants to steal I guess, but on the other hand I've heard that Judges laugh at cases where criminals try to sue the police over there as well.
I don't know whether this is actually true or not, especially in a situation where weapons are involved. I've been 10 feet away from a SWAT team in Scotland where some drunken idiot decided to pull out a weapon and aim it at passers by outsides Scotland's national football stadium (Hampden Park). Within minutes he was surrounded, there was 1 helicopter hovering over and a pile of marksmen barking orders at the guy. Sadly, the guy didn't respond as requested and was shot right in front of me (shit thy pants time). That was no cotton wool they blew in his direction. I've also seen some pretty direct & heavy Police responses in England to drugs pushers and football hooligans. I'm not sure the UK police would aim a vehicle at a motorbike unless the suspect was a known terrorist though.
