So it's not the bike helmets that are racist it's the cops that don't enforce the law equally.

That said

Helmet laws suck

So you support laws forcing adults to wear bike helmets or not?

"You must wear a helmet because we know what is good for you!"

From the same freaks who force people to get a mystery substance injected in their bodies with no recourse for all the side effects.

And murder should be legalized because more blacks are in for murder!

Leftardism in full glory.

The study showed that four times as many BIPOC's were cited for not wearing a helmet.

Hmmm. So what?

Did the study bother to gather evidence of COMPLIANCE with the law? In other words, do "white" and BIPOC riders adhere to the law in equal proportions?

If, say 80% of "white" riders wear helmets and 20% of BIPOC's wear helmets, then it is entirely appropriate for BIPOC's to be cited four times as often.

Parenthetically, I ride often, and almost exclusively on public roads, and I wear a helmet about 1/4 of the time (no helmet law where I live). My observations in European cities were bikes are a significant transportation mode is that few Europeans wear them. But what do they know?

I personally think that helmets should be encouraged. Period. No law.

I'm willing to bet that compliance isn;t an issue

So you get what you want here but are still going to complain?

An employer has the right to require vaccines a terms of employment this was true before COVID

But tell me do you think an employer has the right to fire anyone for any reason?
