Except that in the beginning of the video, it is clear that all traffic is completely stopped, while the annoying bicyclists pass.
Plus, the cop is proven to be a liar in every claim he makes that can be confirmed or disproved by the events on the video.
Why do you bend over backwards to believe the cop, when he's proven to be a liar?
Because it's not clear that he in fact IS lying about the Leftist stopping traffic.
The people defending the cop seem to be doing so because of an assumption that the cm bike riders are leftists and/or young malcontents causing inconvenience or possibly vandalism. While they may be assorted leftists, it still doesn’t give the cop the right to assault someone and hide behind the badge.
Just think of the comments had they been a group of conservatives. Whatever the possible political background of the people involved, the cop was wrong. The mental contortions involved in trying to make the cop look good are pretty wild.
is the traffic blocked because of the bicycle?
