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.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
