 The Pueblo Police Department (PPD) released video of officers pulling a motorcyclist from his bike and handcuffing him after witnessing the cyclist and two others performing dangerous stunts on the south side of Pueblo before the cyclist\u2019s two friends take off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PPD shared the video in hopes of deterring other riders from behaving in the same way, citing a harsh rise in motorcyclist fatalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PPD said the incident began when multiple calls were received to dispatchers reporting a group of motorcyclists driving recklessly on Pueblo\u2019s south side. The Directed Investigation and Community Engagement (DICE) unit responded and located the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the police dashcam video, three motorcyclists can be seen standing up on their bikes, performing wheelies, and swaying between lanes on Northern Avenue. As the riders pull up to a red light, the officers can be heard discussing a surprise takedown of one of the riders. The officers continue to drive behind the motorcyclists after the traffic light turns green, capturing additional footage of the riders behaving extremely recklessly, at times with all three of them blocking both lanes of traffic while doing wheelies and standing up on the bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the next signal\u2013the intersection of Pueblo Boulevard and West Northern Avenue\u2013the officers position their vehicle behind the riders in a turn lane before jumping out and yanking the last rider from his motorcycle. The rider\u2019s two companions ahead of him immediately speed away onto Pueblo Boulevard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officers handcuff the motorcyclist and inform him that they have dashcam footage of him \u201cdoing stupid stuff,\u201d which officers said endangered other drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry,\u201d the motorcyclist can be heard saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video ends with the footage of the bike being loaded up on a tow truck, and a reminder that motorcyclist deaths are at an all-time high in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMotorcycle fatalities in Colorado reached an all-time high last year, with 165 motorcyclists losing their lives\u2013accounting for nearly 25% of all traffic deaths,\u201d PPD said. \u201cSince 2015, motorcycle deaths have risen 57%.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
