Motorcyclist here. That maneuver by the cop is to quell traffic, and here in Utah, it is illegal to pass an officer while they are doing it. Keep in mind that: bikes can be hard to see, doubly so if you are swerving back and forth. I doubt the cop did it on purpose (this is what needs to be determined by the cop's dashcam). The motorcyclist was an idiot for passing the cop to begin with: he was both breaking the law and purposefully putting himself in danger.
TL;DR: click-bait headline.

This was in Milwaukee 2015. A yearly bike event. These asshats were burning up the road all around the city ALL day. The cops let them get away with a lot. But at this point in the day the cops said 'nuff was enuff and decided to call it a day. Everyone does stupid things on a cycle. Some more stupid than others.
