Obamas visit here ends in tragedy. Bike cop killed.

:please::please::please::please: Romeny was right in my neighborhood Saturday. Those guys go pretty fast in the motorcade and people look really confused on what to do. I always pull over and stop just like I would with any emergency services vehicle. I actually saw one idiot try and cut in fromt of the motorcade to try and beat a yellow light.

No, I didn't go see him.........

I have seen this when I visited DC one time. They dont screw around and yeah, it really does upset the traffic flow around them.
 
Motorcade should just obey the traffic laws like everybody else, whats the worst that could happen if they did ???
 
I honestly thought all the cops flying past us were just going to escort him away but it turns out they were responding to this.

Jupiter police post Web tribute to officer killed in Obama

Sad to hear RIP, unfortunately this is not the first to pass this way, i guess you get use to the motorcades living in the DC area but those guys are usually hauling tail wherever they are going, here they seem to have it down to a science, even when the traffic isn't stopped ahead of time the SUV's are usually blocking lanes on both sides so no vehicle can get close to whoever they are escorting, i always notice the motorcycle cops will block on ramps or traffic entering the road ahead of the other vehicles.
