Are you sure? It looks like the bicyclist must have hit a patch of oil and was falling. The cop, doing his duty to protect and serve the citizens of New York City, was merely trying save the lives of innocent bystanders as well as that awkward bicyclist by trying to catch him before he hit the pavement or worse, the children in the crowd. Unfortunately, the unsafe speed at which the bicyclist was traveling caused both the negligent bicyclist and the kind officer to fall to the ground. Fortunately, the heroic efforts of the police officer saved many bystanders from serious injury. I'm pretty certain that fine outstanding public servant deserves a medal for his quick thinking and heroic actions!
Typical of law enforcement. To some, the badge apprently gives cops the right to break laws and the butt kissers and apologists come out of the woodwork to make excuses for them. The cop is much like many, many, many cops who are criminals in uniform. The people who support and make excuses are no better.
Yes, these protesters are lawbreakers as well, but becoming a lawbreaker yourself does not solve the problem, it only makes you part of it.
Until these cops are made an example of, this will go on. Prison time would do him a world of good as would a personal injury lawsuit.

You’re a schmuck
If it wasn’t a Critical Mass ride, but myself and 9 other friends; we get assaulted by cops AND it hits YouTube, while the cops have no legal standing to have arrested any of us, AND I MENTION ON A THREAD THAT ONE OF THEM WAS ME, would you still have said what you did?
