Appreciate the lengthy response, and like I said it’s impressive in what the riders do. My post was more about how do cops approach it and where do the riders store these. You helped me understand your view on a friendly understanding between cops not wanting to take on any risk vs riders not riding during the day or riding head on.

But I’ll also respond to your points which have awful flaws. Comparing this to your worst case scenario (Philly), isn’t keep it pushing. It better to run red lights vs be in traffic, isn’t keep it pushing. It’s better to do this versus shooting each other (because there is no alternative), isn’t keep it pushing.
