Maybe just a warning and telling him to stay off the road would suffice? Then again, anyone that lives in Flint or Detroit get's what the deserve.

Nah, people who play with their toys in the streets like that deserve worse.
Those idiots riding around in the dark may cause quite a bit of trouble for drivers. They can be a big distraction. And they give us regular, well lit cyclists, a bad reputation. They don't deserve a beating, but they should probably have the bike confiscated until daylight
How do you feel about vaccines?

They were simply trying to collect revenue for the state and get off a little in the process and this is the thanks they get?
Shirley they were justified in stopping that vehicle before it crashed into a school bus full of orphans, killing them all
I've been pulled over for this & asked for my driver's license.
It was half an hour before sunset at the beginning of the stop.
This is a tricky case because it's Michigan. If the rider voted for widmer then no harm done, as (d) are not human and have no rights.
He broke the law riding without lights. He attempted to flee. He resisted arrest. He even kicked at the officers. I'm with the police officers on this one. I'm a cyclist who often rides at night and I do have lights.
Why does an article about Michigan State Police have a picture of a Portland cop? Portland, Oregon, Portland, Maine, or Portland, Michigan, none of their cops are state police.
