3) The NYPD kept themselves in check during the main protest because they had no way of controlling a half million NYers. They were outnumbered something like 1 to 1000 in one of America's most aggressive cities. Had they stepped out of line at the main protest it would have been their asses - and they knew it - which is why once the crowed hit the hundreds of thousands - there were no "incidents". Funny how things work like that. Cops are only tough when the numbers and amo support them.
2) For those of you who think riders got their asses kicked - actually, riders won the stand-off by blocking the NYPD.. The cops backed down because the more stupid they acted and the more they kicked around protesters - the angrier and more agressive the mob, which outnumbered the NYPD in a huge way, got.
1) For those of you blaming the riders - pay attention to the two guys cuffed against the wall screaming. They are not resisting. Look at the hands of the cops. Tazers. They are getting the shit tazed out of them up against the walls.
What's also brutal is the urban land use we see here: at 00:21 the police appear to honk their scooter horns seemingly for lack of room to pass by the row of parked cars. Surely wasteful land uses in a city center which move people inefficiently and hamper the mobility of public safety ought to be addressed. This is ostensibly one of the objectives of Critical Mass, to call attention to the potential of a more efficient transportation mode.
Haha, What a bunch of faggots!(Pathetic homo bicyclists who have no future) See, Its all the same with these scrawny little womanlike critical mass riders. None of them have a life so they ride around on their little bikes with their training wheels and aggravate motorists. No wonder so many of you fucktards get runover by cars!
Here is a large angry who could at any moment overwhelm the police. The man arrested was clearly disobeying a lawful order. The cops were made a quick clean controlled arrest in a near riot situation. Good work NYPD!
Its good that echo terrorists are all pencil necked, tofu eating wimps, makes it easier for cops to slam them into the ground they love so much for abstructing justice
Firstly, I think you mean "eco terrorists". Secondly, this clip has nothing to do with eco policy - so I suggest you take your meds and watch again. Finally, these people are exercising their constitutional right to dissent, which is something expected from citizens in a democracy.
An unarmed attorney getting shot in the back while walking, or a man doing nothing more than holding a sign getting shot in the face is hardly justice, nor is the constitutionally protected right to protest obstruction.I suggest you learn about this country before opening your over-stuffed pie hole. You'll come across as less of an illiterate ass.
wtf? what the hell was going on that all of those mother fuckers with the bikes were there?? "let him go! let him go!" suck my dick! suck my dick! ha ha

The jerk wouldn't move his bike out of the street, so he got arrested. What's the problem?

Does anyone live in a city where the police DON'T act like this?

In East Lansing MI, the cops lead our critical mass rides and block intersections. They only ask that we keep moving.
In the video the person clearly backs into several police officers, a prosecutor will love this video.
