I would like the police to take action against the motor cycle gangs for their absolute contempt for the law and cite the following examples at the Mount. 1 speeding and grossly excessive noise.2 illegal parking on broken yellow lines and bus stop outside Molly O'Connor's bar. 3 blocking both lanes with their bikes so their fellow gang members can move off. They show absolute contempt for the law and enjoy intimidating law abiding Road users. One wonders if the police are scared to make them toe the line like the rest of us. Please police, deal to these creeps.

it seems like a really., really boring "chase"...done for failing to stop?..is that it between him and 30-40 others?...wow..great use of Police resource....ever thought of burgs/thefts/violence work?..look, I don't agree with this sort of carry on, but get 'em all, hit 'em hard (with a charge) and move on to real Police work...remember it?
