  • In East Lansing the cops lead our critical mass rides and only ask that we keep moving.

    They even block intersections.

  • That is how it *used* to be in NYC also, until the August 2004 critical mass ride which was at the same time as the Republican National Convention. From then on the cops went apeshit and have never let up, to this day.

  • This videos a joke. It doesn't show why the arrest happened in the first place. I doubt that the cops thought "hmmm... it might be fun to arrest a random person for no reason in a mob full of people who want to kill you."

    Your completely biased. Next time edit the video from an objective standpoint.

  • toddm030 - Actually this video *does* show why the arrests happened in the first place. It happened because critical mass held its monthly ride. The NYC police have harassed the critical mass bikeride ever since the GOP convention in 2004. The city even sued CM and lost in court. I cited links further down in the thread. go read them before you say any other foolish things.

  • Maybe if some of those cops rode bike once in a while they wouldn't be so obese. What is the deal now with hassling bike riders? If more people rode bike it would help solve some of our problems.

  • USA seems to be a VERY violent fucked up society as of the current times......

  • they know who to do that too!!!!!! that shit dosent pull with everyone in here in Ny

  • Amazing how a bunch of God Damn Pork Molestors, can turn A CONSTITITONAL right into something so

    violent.

  • maybe if the police ONLY had bikes they might have a tiny bit of compassion for bicyclists. just a thought.

    police in kalamazoo michigan have told our critical mass to get off the streets and onto a sidewalk. hilarious.

    streets are for all. not just cars.

  • eat more donuts! eat more donuts! eat more donuts!

  • I for one can say that this happens everyday.

  • First of all, it's night. Nobody is trying to get to work. Secondly, in NYC there are traffic jams sometimes. Nobody has a right to not be affected by traffic. Thirdly the right to assemble and protest is a constitutionally protected right. However the bike ride is not really a protest, it's just a bike ride.
