NYPD Officer Assaults Man Riding Bicycle
A video camera caught a NYPD officer running and violently shoving a man off his bicycle onto the sidewalk in Times Square, during Friday night’s Critical Mass ride. After being assaulted by the police officer, “the cyclist in this video was arrested, held for 26 hours, and charged with attempted assault and resisting arrest.” That is some bullshit. [Gothamist]
That’s so jacked, its sad that its not the only example of this happening in nyc. I have had friends arrested numerous times, an have received tickets for riding in critical mass.
