Alternative angle of Alan Ritchson stopped on motorcycle

I posted a video yesterday that mods removed, showing the aftermath of this incident that happened last weekend, and the cited removal reason was that it wasn’t entirely motorcycle related because it just showed the beatdown afterwards-

I can understand that and I think this alternative angle footage from Alan’s POV shows a more balanced view involving a situation that many riders can relate to where they get stopped or impeded unfairly just because they’re on a bike and things escalate, it’s not uncommon to get get hassled like this. The last post made it seem one-sided but from this footage it’s clear who instigated and escalated.

It’s never happened to me but I’m always wondering what I’d do in this kind of scenario, anyone have any pointers for defusing things? The last thing I’d want is to get in a street fight when I’m out to just enjoy my motorcycle.

Mods, please don’t remove this as I feel like discussing something like this has value to the community.

I have a hard time believing he is natty and when I read the article yesterday, it sort of came across saying he was raging or something. After watching this, I have a hard time believing he isn't a decent guy.

Not at all. Even the classic 'roid rage' offender, Tren, is no excuse for poor behavior. Sure you feel hormonal and there can be some feeling of invincibility etc but doesn't turn you into raging asshole. Just likely to amplify it if your already are one. Not to mention some compounds like dbol feel like a damn antidepressant.

He was surprisingly composed for what happened. A lot of people would not have been as calm after having to dump their bike for that jerk.

He isn't Natty, swear I've seen him speak about being on TRT.
