"Neil Greig, director of policy and research at driving and road
safety charity Institute of Advanced Motoring, accused the officer of
potentially fatal behaviour.

He said: “Clearly he is setting a very bad example and the police
should be aware this is a really critical issue.

“We have had discussions in parliament about bringing in death by
dangerous cycling as an offence and there has been prosecutions for
people injured by cyclists.

“We are trying to promote sharing the road safely.

“This clearly is not an example of it.”

Mr Greig said actions such as this can have very serious consequences.

He added: “It is the whole range of dangers, people have been killed.

“There was a case that came up last week which led to the hearing in
parliament about the new offence."



Jesus H! Has Mrcheerless created a zombie army now?

"a case that came up last week" - what?! Or 2 years ago?

"potentially fatal behaviour"

“It is the whole range of dangers, people have been killed."



"A moral panic is the intensity of feeling expressed in a population
about an issue that appears to threaten the social order. According to
Stanley Cohen, author of Folk Devils and Moral Panics (1972) and
credited with coining the term, a moral panic occurs when "[a]
condition, episode, person or group of persons emerges to become
defined as a threat to societal values and interests." Those who start
the panic when they fear a threat to prevailing social or cultural
values are known by researchers as "moral entrepreneurs", while people
who supposedly threaten the social order have been described as "folk
devils.""

"The media have long operated as agents of moral indignation, even
when they are not self-consciously engaged in crusading or muckraking.
Simply reporting the facts can be enough to generate concern, anxiety
or panic."

That seems to be going a bit far, judging by the photo.
