There was an officer that tackled a rider in a Critical Mass ride in NYC. Officer was found not at fault, and the rider got charged with I don’t know what.

The guy was just riding in the street and he gets tackled. I haven’t really RODE a bike in years, but I give cars and pedestrians the right-of-way.

That was the old news.

After a tourist posted a video of the incident on YouTube, it was evident that the tackle was a dangerous and unprovoked cheap shot on the cyclist, that the cop lied in his written report and that the cop had filed false charges.

As a result, the cop is now in deep kimchee.
