If it wasn't an officer in the way how about an animal like a pheasant or sheep?

Rider error.
Not strictly the case though.If someone pulled out of a side road and you couldnt stop it would be their fault legally.The cop essentially "pulled out" in front of the bikes and one couldnt stop in time.Legally I reckon the cop could well be to blame there,even if from an "advanced driving" perspective the bike should have had better forward vision.
