“Anti-cycling cop on a bicycle”: Cyclists blast ‘victim-blaming’ Met Officer after red-light jumping taxi driver nearly hits rider “You see how many cyclists go through red lights in the course of a day,” the officer told the cyclist cycling
The incident occurs just as two Metropolitan Police officers cycle by, appearing to observe the scene. However, in the video one of the officers can be heard telling the cyclist that they “didn’t see” the near miss.
The clip has resulted in a backlash on Twitter, with one cyclist describing the officer’s response to the incident as the “worst bit of ‘whataboutery’ I’ve heard in a long time”., simply retweeted the post with the caption, “Oh dear”.Cycling lawyer and road safety campaigner Rory McCarron also said: “Bet they were forced to ride a bike for work or drew the short straw.
“Incredibly poor showing by the officers,” wrote David Caress. “The cyclist has been let down by two supposedly trusted pillars of society, the police and the taxi driver. I’m much more surprised by the former though, not the latter.”
