GMP apologises after cyclist hits out at 'ignorant' officer who pulled them over
05.10.2022 - 15:35 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A cyclist has blasted Greater Manchester Police (GMP) after he was forced to correct an officer's knowledge of the highway code while out on a ride in Bolton.
Grahame Cooper, from Bolton, was on a group bike ride with three other cyclists riding two abreast, when a GMP officer in a liveried van rolled down his window and told them that they should be riding in single file next to the kerb.
Experienced cyclist Grahame politely corrected the officer, before posting the video to YouTube and criticising the 'shocking' and 'ignorant' behaviour. He has since received an apology from GMP, who say they will 'educate' the officer involved.

In the video, the officer can be seen pulling up next to the group in a GMP van and telling them: "You can't be riding out in the road like this," to which Grahame replies, "Yes we can".
The officer then tells him he 'has to ride next to the kerb' and is 'supposed to ride in single file'. Grahame replies: "Talk to the people in your traffic division... they'll explain to you what correct road positioning is for cyclists."
Tweeting after the incident, Grahame said: "It's always annoying when a van driver tries to lecture you on his ignorant, made-up rules for cyclists. It's even more shocking when it comes from a serving police officer driving a liveried @GMPolice van!"
However, speaking to the Manchester Evening News , he praised GMP for responding to his complaint within a matter of 'hours' and said he was 'very satisfied' with the 'speedy' reply. He now hopes the incident, on Friday September 30, will help raise awareness of recent changes to the highway code to cyclists and other road users.

SAG-AFTRA Calls for Resignations at L.A. City Hall Over Racist Remarks
Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer SAG-AFTRA on Monday called for the resignations of three Los Angeles council members and the president of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, after the council president was caught on tape making racist and homophobic remarks. The actors’ union joined a chorus of outrage that followed the leak on Sunday of an hourlong conversation, in which Council President Nury Martinez disparaged indigenous Mexicans and made racist remarks about the three-year-old Black son of a fellow council member. “Racism and homophobia have no place in the labor movement, government or society,” the actors’ union said in a statement. “All leaders must be held to a higher standard that centers on anti-racism and immediately calls out discrimination and hateful comments in the moment.”
