Fetus is life, but contained within another life. Therefore, container's life takes precedence.

Actually, the gyroscopic effect (specifically precession) has more to do with making the steering go the right way than keeping the bike upright directly.

Gyroscopic effect is not even significant. Lock your steering and you will fall over no matter how fast your wheels are spinning. (Which can happen with a badly pitted headset)

I wouldn't say easy... But yeah, you don't just fall over.

It's not that. Gyroscopic action exists of course, but it's fairly weak against the weight of your body. Balancing a bicycle is just like balancing an umbrella on your finger, except you can easily move your finger any direction you need. To move the bicycle sideways, you need to already be moving forward.

Would you pull it without being specifically asked to in a police encounter?

This basically amounts to "you should care about Haitians eating pets because you like animals", it overlooks that the veracity of the claim is not established...

Shoulda sprinkled some crack on him, then they can shoot everybody, who can argue?

When he got there the conductor told him "one more nickel," Charlie couldn't get off of that train

And maybe aliens would have landed and eaten us all!

Since when are stills taken from video that clear? Especially during a scuffle, and with questionable lighting... Something doesn't add up.

Until cops prove themselves trustworthy, I will assume they're lying. They have a long way to go.
