The North Carolina Highway Patrol is responding to a video caught by ABC's "20/20" showing state troopers in Raleigh dangerously speeding.

They said none of these incidents was during an emergency.

ABC clocked one of the police cruisers going 80 mph headed to a Dunkin' Donuts.

Yea it's not like they train to drive at high speeds or anything

they train in a controlled environment.

they do not simulate panicked motorists who become unpredictable to see a speeding patrol car closing in fast.

I would post a dashcam video of a cop doing this very thing and for a split second you see what looks like an 8 year old boy on a bicycle disappear under the front of the car, but nobody wants to see that.

My employer issued me a company vehicle since I travel quite often. It has GPS & a video recorder, so I have to drive extra cautiously.

Admittedly, I'm not the greatest of drivers as far as safety goes. But driving carefully in a company people and paying more attention to those around me now is down right scary. Most people are horrible, horrible drivers. Speeding, tailgating, swerving through traffic, & every other person is paying more attention to the phone in their hand than anything else.

And it's funny. I'll be doing 70 on the highway and some jackass will ride up behind me right under my bumper, swerve around me, and continue weaving through traffic doing 90mph, easily. Then 5 or so miles later, I get off the interstate, go through a few traffic lights, and pull up beside the same vehicle at a light. He's texting away on his phone, and as soon as the light turns green he speeds off again, weaving through traffic dangerously.

I read a study that said the average American commutes 40 miles per day. They conducted a large experiment and said speeding and maneuvering through traffic shaved approximately 13 seconds off your daily route.

Well they're trained with the use of firearms as well..and we see how well that translates.

If I recall correctly a Charlotte woman in her 20's was killed a few years back because a dumbass pig was flying through an intersection and T-bones her...but its cool right, I mean he was trained to drive at high speeds.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
