Have the courage to say what you mean, IE "I don't like cops and here are THREE of them who have the audacity to ride bicycles abreast in the middle of the street". It's honest, direct and it outlines what the real problem is. Which do you or anyone else here consider to be a more egregious act; three police officers riding bicycles abreast at 16-18 mph on a street designated as a "bicycle boulevard" or the driver of a car using an electronic device while following cyclists? As far as being "helpful or hurtful"? Nobody jacked you for your ride or wallet did they? Maybe their presence kept that from happening.
It's OK to hate the cops; just be man enough to say it instead of tip toeing around your true feelings while trying to hold the moral high ground. I'll pass along this piece of advice and be on my way; hanging on to those kind of feelings is like drinking poison hoping someone else will die.
