Cops are regular people too... Can't even believe they fired him, that's so stupid!
Maybe he should have got a slap on the wrist, but fired? Extreme overreaction
No, in toronto the cop would have shot the other riders 17 times, then the SIU would have cleared him of any wrong doing :lmao:
You're forgetting he would taze after shooting 17 times, for good measure.
Agreed, looked like a pretty cool cop.
Crochrocket rider should have blurred his face when posting a video like that on youtube. But he looked and sounded like a dumbass anyway.

lol, that Harley rider got screwed 
but yes, hardly worth the job over, that is extreme bull... unfortunately the officer resigned before he was terminated. Might cost him the victory lawsuit.

Video didn't work for me but from what they wrote said happened in the video, they agreed to race, twice. Funny how the thousands upon thousands of idiots do this all the time and film it with no reprimanding whatsoever but because this guy was a black cop they fire his ***. It's drag racism!

[h=3]MPD officer caught on video drag racing gets his job back[/h][h=4]By John Shryock[/h][h=4]Updated: 11/15/2013 1:54 am EST[/h]
The Montgomery Police Department is confirming that the motorcycle officer who was captured on video drag racing with a private citizen will get his job back.
WSFA 12 News first reported the story earlier this week after video of the race was posted on YouTube. The story has since gone viral with national reports from outlets such as CNN and NBC's Today Show.
It didn't take long before MPD officials found out about the YouTube video. The officer, now identified as Carlos Rogers, resigned from his position before he could be disciplined.
The person who challenged officer Rogers to the race, Lee Spillers, was not happy that the officer lost his job and started a petition to have him reinstated.
At Thursday's news conference, Chief Kevin Murphy said he'd had a change of heart. Chief Murphy had sent the case to the city prosecutor to determine if the officer and motorist could be given traffic citations. After the prosecutor said there wasn't enough evidence, Chief Murphy asked Rogers to come back to work.
Murphy said there was no reason Rogers should not be on the force, adding that he was "worth saving" and deserved a second chance.
Rogers, who prior to this incident did not have any blemishes on his record, issued an apology for his actions. Murphy said he believes Rogers has a bright future at MPD.
There will be disciplinary action, Chief Murphy said, but Rogers will be back on the job Friday in an administrative role. Rogers won't be back on the road for several weeks.

cop shouldn't have lost his job, but looking from the police perspective how can they stop drag racing when the media promotes this video as a cop drag racing another rider (media doesn't give a sh*t as long as they get views...).
edit: he got his job back, world is great!
