Just thought I would let everyone see this,

The story is about a bicycle officer (APD) getting maliciously dragged by a car, the officer got away with some road rash. I am grateful that the officer was not hurt and I also believe that this could potentially be a step forward in bicycle awareness. After this unfortunate incident APD might be more supportive to the bike community. I hope the APD never has to put up a ghost bike for one of their own because of a driver as we should never have to for ours.
