In light of the recent wave of protests nationwide the Miami police department recently deployed a unit of bike cops, called the Bike Response Team, which they’re describing as “the elite of the elite.” Unfortunately for them, the video of them arriving on their Huffys impressed exactly no one.
EXCLUSIVE: “These officers are the elite of the elite”.

The internet is a mean and insatiable beast and it can sense even a moment’s weakness. In the case of this video the generally goofy look of bike cops chanting “MOVE BACK! MOVE BACK!” combined with the attempted slide stop and awkward dismount was enough to inspire meme gold…and a million Reno 911 references.
Now these “elite” police cyclists are getting roasted in a series of mocking comments and memes
