Now who are you going to believe? Me, or your lying eyes?
With your insistence on application of the Rule of Law, you'd make a lousy Anarchist.
I've seen way too many cyclists ride and act like arrogant asses.
Looks like a lesson to be learned for all, in this instance.
Cop on foot, guy on bike, cop chases guy, guy gets away.
I suppose there is a certain thrill to being a “corker” racing away from the cops and blending into the crowd of Critical mass.
I noticed that he had a speedier bike then most of the crowd.
The point of attempting to arrest him in this fashion, he would have gotten away other wise.....
Cops are never in big doo doo.
“The cyclist, Christopher Long, of Hoboken, N.J., was handcuffed, arrested, “
The assault by the cop was a felony. The cop should be in jail. The arrest of the cyclist is an abuse of police power. The cop who arrested him should have to pay the cyclist in civil court. Any prosecutor who prosecutes the cyclist should lose his job.
Dude, you really, really need to take a course in comparative velocities.
2MPH is about the speed old folks copulate. He was going faster than "2MPH".
Geezuz.
your tagline is apt.
Well it was not post 23 so you put out more misinformation, but you are right he corrected his misinformation.
hey, he called it like he saw it when it comes to cops. i call it like i see ‘em when it comes to military. i have to clean up a lot of messes during fleet week. turnabout is fair play, imho.
Well I know there is some frustration about these bike riders, but from what I understand every day twice a day thousands of car owners basically gather en mass and clog the streets of Manhattan making them less safe pedestrians and bikers and slowing down emergency vehicles.
A lot of times the police takes bikes from riders and then don’t give them back, so my guess would be the bike taker is preventing that.

Especially on the Ramos-Compean threads.
Give it a rest. Read post #21.
I’m sure there is more footage available.
The fact that it isn’t being shown is suspicious.
I say the cop was justified.
It seems to me that society as a whole is becoming more and more disrespectful to one another, cops and civilians alike.
We went to Concerts in the Park a few days ago, and honestly I felt as if I were looking a freak show directed by Todd Browning...people heavily tattoed, rudely walking on our blankets and almost kicking us, no one smiling or happy, everyone scowling.
Honestly, it seems as if our civilization is in its last days...

Maybe your observation should apply solely to the tatted ones at the concert. Think about all the non-tatted ones, that stayed away from the concert. Maybe they have better manners, are more civilized, and vastly outnumber the ones who so negatively cloud your outlook.
They aren't cyclists. They are just the type that likes to cause a nuisance. Think 50mph in the left lane types.
That said, the cop is an a-hole.
