Yep, they chased us all the way through Hancock Park with their light shining on us.
But they gave up when we entered the grittier East Hollywood neighborhoods.

Did someone confuse LACM with C.R.A.N.K. Mob again? Or did you guys do something to earn that extra surveillance?

Write it all down, file a complaint, and come to the next Transportation Committee hearing.

Oddly enough, the Sun Bear is a native species to where my parents come from, Malaysia.

damn, nice to see our tax dollars being spent wisely.
lapd shined the people's ride last month for a little bit last month between riverside and fletcher, but they didn't chase us too far.

That thing burned up a lot of fuel trailing us night. Fuel paid for by the City taxpayer. Now wouldn't you prefer your tax dollars be used to catch those bike thieves in Silver Lake or maybe they should police those gritter parts of East Hollywood.
Really it is a waste of City resources.

Maybe the cops also knew that an all-star MR cast was riding the LACM and People's last night.
Roadblock, Tallcans, Stillline, Fuzzbeast, Barleye, Eddieboy, Krysta, Mikey Wally, Tarsis, Harry (Limefly) and Big Bike Dan to name a few.

there's no tax dollars left to spend anyway. might as well dig the hole deeper.
but yeah, it's a ridiculous waste to bring out the copter for a bike ride.

Damn it!!
I picked a fine time to miss that all-star MR line up!!!!

Yeah, no doubt, last night had one hell of an all-star lineup.
Without the cops, last night would have been perfect, so much fun.
Just about everybody smoked me out last night, thank you very much. Find me next month for stacks of joints.

JUST FYI.
Those helicopters are up there sitting idle all night unless they are on a call. They are gonna burn that fuel whether they follow us or not. They were most likely called in to provide an eye in the sky for the cops on the ground to run traffic control on us.
If a bigger call comes in (car chase) then they just peel off and let the ground units follow.
If I was flying over LA and saw that many cyclists i would love to watch them stampede thru town from that vantage point.
