FIVE off-duty NYPD officers were among the bikers involved in SUV attack ...

At least five off-duty New York Police Department officers have admitted being present at the savage revenge beating last weekend on the Henry Hudson Parkway, according to reports.

Among the off duty cops were at least two detectives and three other officers, all who witnessed the attack and did little to stop it. One of the detectives, an undercover narcotics officer, watched as the violence broke out and chose not to break it up for fear of ruining his cover.

The five officers were not the only ones present, WABC is reporting that the NYPD is investigating whether several off-duty corrections officers were also present.

Police present for the violent attack did not begin coming forward until Wednesday - four days later.

The New York Post originally reported that the first undercover officer to admit being at the ruthless pounding was not the only cop at the scene, as several members of the motorcycle group- called the Front Line Soldiers- are police officers themselves.....

Mieses was recently arrested in Andover, Mass., for driving with a revoked license. He also never applied for a motorcycle license.

Records show that in June he was named a habitual offender and his right to drive in the state was revoked until 2017. It wasn't clear if he had been licensed in any other state.

In the end, it may turn out that the only one that wasn’t some kind of LEO was Meises.

You are exactly right. Unless someone calls them and tells them exactly who did what on which date and here’s a picture they don’t arrest anyone.

Reminds me of that Dirty Harry movie with the vigilante cops who were part of the bike squad.

This case always had a “nothing to see here folks - move along” vibe to it. Now we know why.

this is a kind of “the rest of the story” moment...

I now understand what happened and why the bikers (1) felt privileged,, (2) felt like they could force the motorist to slow down, (3) felt called to attack in revenge and all the rest of it.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

(4) There wasn’t a cruiser in sight for the lengthy duration of the mayhem preceding the final crime.

Sept. 30, 2000

Judge sues Louisville police, claims they assaulted him (Old link at the Louisville, KY Courier-Journal, no longer works - "page could not be found".)

Jefferson Circuit Judge Stephen P. Ryan is suing the Louisville Police Department and four of its officers, claiming the officers assaulted him while they were directing traffic outside Papa John's Cardinal Stadium on Sept. 22 [2000].

Ryan filed suit in Jefferson Circuit Court yesterday, alleging excessive use of force, assault and false imprisonment, among other things.

...

In an interview yesterday, Ryan, who wasn't injured, said "it took a lot of soul searching," but he ultimately decided to sue -- in part because of other citizen complaints of excessive use of force by police.

"I think there are a small minority of police officers that are out of control. Maybe they'll believe me," said Ryan, who was a district court judge for nearly 10 years before being appointed to circuit court in 1997.

...

According to Ryan, the four officers were directing traffic at Floyd Street and Central Avenue about 5:30 p.m. Sept. 22, as he was taking his 14-year-old daughter, Katie, home from a field hockey game. He said he got stuck in traffic headed to the football game between Trinity and St. Xavier high schools. He was trying to go straight south on Floyd Street but officers were directing traffic right onto Central, which was jammed, Ryan said.

Ryan said he told the officers that he wanted to go straight, but they wouldn't let him, saying he had to have a pass to go on that route.

"All I was going to do was go home," said Ryan, who lives several miles away near Iroquois Park. "I tried to point out that it was a public thoroughfare."

Ryan said that as he was talking to one officer, he inched his car forward a few feet, and another officer jumped in front of the car. He said one of the officers then asked him to step out of the car. As he was about to do so, he said, an officer yanked open the door, grabbed his arm, pulled him out of the car, and "shoved" him against the side of the car.

At that point, Ryan said, the officer drew back, and "it looked like he was going to hit me."

"I said, 'Look, I'm a judge,' " Ryan recalled.

Ryan said another officer then put his forearm into his chest, pushing him back against the car, and told Ryan they would have "15 officers here" if he didn't leave.

...

"Even if I did commit some kind of traffic violation, I don't think they were entitled to use the force they did," he said.

Ryan was never arrested or charged with anything.

Ryan said his daughter remained in the car throughout the incident and was upset by it. "She didn't understand it. She didn't understand why they did what they did, and I couldn't explain it," he said.

The judge said he had talked with police officials in the last week to try to settle the matter but was not satisfied with the outcome. He would not elaborate.

The Rev. Louis Coleman, one of several activists who have complained about alleged excessive use of force by Louisville police, yesterday called Ryan's lawsuit a "benchmark."

"It really is," he said. "Nobody, it seems, is really listening, but when it happens to someone like Judge Ryan, I think it gives so much credibility to our concerns."

I understood that his license was revoked nationwide for a long list of ‘incidents’ dating back to the mid-90’s.

The paralyzed guy is a menace to society in general, apparently by his record.

The guy who used his helmet to break into the driver’s window of the SUV also has a long list of offenses & convictions...over 20.

Mad Max Mob rule. Time for the Liberals to see what they have done nothing to stop.

Remember, Gloria Allred is now representing the injured biker. Wouldn't be at all surprised if she sues the NYPD.

If that's the case, then go Gloria!

know there are a majority of good guys.

also know there is a healthy minority of scumbags, dirtbags, and (never caught)criminals.....

If that large of a minority are bad apples, how can it be that the rest are good guys? Where are their voices?

I think there is so much more to this story that is being covered up. I read that many of the license plates couldn’t be read on video cams as they were tilted in or covered in some way and many of the ones that could be read were stolen plates. Also, notice that almost everyone is covered from head to toe on a sunny day.

I have biker cousins who pointed out that this was odd and I thought back about the many rallies I had attended and agreed. Combine that with the fact that so many so called “cops” were part of the group and no one seemed to think their behavior wasn’t dangerous enough to stop the group from their terrorizing and/or call for help...

The fact that they tried to takeover Times Square earlier in the day along with the pack mentality on the video means they are not a normal group of citizen bikers on a nice day out riding. They are a group of thugs with an agenda that we can’t quite figure out.... I WOULD HAVE RUN MORE OVER IF THAT HAPPENED TO ME.

He thinks cops - and of course his private security detail - are the only people who should have guns.

Here’s an Update with some new info:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2445773/2-bikers-took-beating-SUV-driver-surrender-police.html

Over 200 calls came into the police about this biker gang that day and yet not one call came in from the cops or corrections officers who were part of the gang.

I didn’t see the info about the calls. Do you have a link? (or maybe I’m just missing it at the link you gave)
