[No politics today. Moritorium. –BZ]

In my prior job, I did a little of this. And drove it. And enabled it. And managed it. Back when we actually had training and EVOC and a coordinated motor unit in my department — before not just training was essentially eliminated wholesale but my entire department was abused and ridden and driven into the ground by incompetence, incompetents, arrogance, indifference, naivete, the mismanagement of funds, the abuse of power, with negligence in hiring, negligence in training and negligence in retention.

If somebody would only ask (and I suspect it’s just a matter of time), I could make so much more money testifying against my department than I could working for it. And every sentence would be factual (oh, the truths I could tell)!

That said, it’s time to revel in some incredibly-amazing skill:

On April 30th of 2011, GPPD Motor Officer Donnie Williams — on my most despised motorcycle ever — (Harley-Davidson), dragged appropriate footboards and kept the revs up whilst remarkably-feathering the clutch (Not so long thereafter replaced?) in order to clean an incredibly-intricate, detailed and complicated competitional exercise pattern.

One mistake, and he was gone.

One cone down, and he was gone.

He cleaned every-damned-thing.

This from the April 30th, 2011 Grand Prairie Police Motorcycle Rodeo — hosted by the GPPD in Texas.

I’m not bad on a bike. But Donnie Williams, however, might just be an alien from another galaxy.

Dude, you are in fact a Motor Officer Star.
