Trek Responds To Use Of Police Bikes Against Black Lives Matter Protesters
Next up in the stable of recent U.S. corporations to bend over for BLM is venerable bike company Trek. I give them ten hours from now until they're attacked by SJW's and tap out.[Cycling News] - Trek has issued a statement on its "commitment to a better future" after its bicycles were used as weapons by US police officers against protesters during the Black Lives Matter marches across the US. Trek is one of a number of suppliers of bikes to police forces in the US. Various images and videos of police officers using their bikes as weapons and shields — seemingly having been trained to use them as such — have appeared online and in the media over the past week and a half. Trek has been under pressure to react to the use of their police bikes. Cyclingnews understands that members of their own Advocates programme have called for action and support for the Black Lives Matter movement. In a statement published on Cyclingtips but not on their website with their list of initiatives, Trek said it had seen the photos and video of Trek bikes being "used by police in ways that are abhorrent and vastly different from their intended use".
