Shouldn't Cops on Bikes Be Able to Shoot Through Concrete Block Walls Like their Car Driving Counterparts?
Opinion
Emeryville's new Chief of Police Jennifer Tejada commented at the 'Goal Setting Workshop' meeting on Saturday at City Hall, she would like to see electric bicycles for the police to patrol with. She seemed to be very passionate about it. We think it's a great idea...get the police out of their cars and mix with the community more. You know, 'community policing' and all.
We have a modest proposal to add to that; how about if Chief Tejada adds some AR-15 assault rifles to the bikes? The Chief says the bad guys are arming themselves with these high powered assault rifles and there's a 'war on police' so we figure just because our police officers are on bikes, why should they be exposed? Shouldn't they be armed to the teeth with 3200 ft/sec armor piercing projectile velocity, 1300 foot pounds of muzzle kinetic energy weapons just like Emeryville's car riding cops are? Rounds from these rifles can go right through a concrete block wall or three bad guys standing in a line so why shouldn't our guys riding the bikes be able to do likewise? We think this is a wonderful marriage between Chief Tejada's insistence that Emeryville police be driving around armed with AR-15 assault rifles and her new found love of cops on bikes.
Next year watch for rocket propelled grenade launchers mounted on Emeryville police bicycles as the 'war on police' continues. Coming soon to your neighborhood; cops on bikes with RPG launchers (can SAM Surface to Air Missile launchers be far off?).

| An AR-15 slung over the shoulder is nice but... |
 |
| Look how much better this rear mount scabbard is. All that's missing is the Emeryville Police Department logo on the bike. |
 |
| The front handlebar mount style is great for rapid aim and fire. Wonderful for rapidly "raining death" on punks. |
 |
| Then of course there's the ever popular front scabbard mount to deliver a wall of lead to the bad guys. |
 |
| Let's not forget Emeryville motorcycle cops need massive firepower too. AR-15's for everybody! |
 |
| This nice piece of flaming deadly firepower could be drawn in seconds. |
 |
| But we like the 'shoot 'n skoot' headstock mount the best. No need to even stop riding. Emeryville cops could REALLY put the hurt on the bad guys with these! |
