I agree that cops are hypocrites/hypocritical, as is much of of the criminal justice system (i.e. war on drugs, etc.), but it seems obvious that speed itself doesn't kill, it creates differentials that do. Even in the case you point out where the cop is being unsafe by sticking out in the road. Speeders would likely hit him- not people driving at the speed limit. I am all for speeding in uninhabited places, but I do that at the risk of hitting moose, or elk or even unassuming walkers like yourself.
