NYPD Officer Caught on Tape Body-Slamming Cyclist-2/2

NYPD Officer Caught on Tape Body-Slamming Cyclist During Critical Mass Ride

Over a million people have watched an online video shot by a tourist last week showing a New York police officer body-slamming and tackling a cyclist in Times Square. We speak with video activist and archivist Eileen Clancy about the incident and why the city is subpoenaing her organization, I-Witness Video, for hundreds of protest videos shot during the 2004 Republican National Convention

Theres 2 types of laws.

The laws the government set forth.

And then there are personal laws the policer officer follows. If you offend the officer BUT do not break governemnt laws, what do you think is going to happen to you?

NOWHERE IN ANY LAW does it say you must respect an officer but if you disrespect them you'll most likely get your ass beat and then have charges fabricated against you and spend a day (or more) in jail. Ands thats when you go get you .357 magnum and get justice.

They are screened rather heavily, actually. And they have much discipline. It is just that most of their behavior is condoned so such actions aren't seen as being undisciplined.

so the officer assaulted the civilian then charged him with assault?

@spleenblender in TN most officers come straight off the farm some have only a 6th gr.education and they get only on the job training so what we are dealing with is the GOOD OLE BOY NETWORK where its who you know that counts to get a job as a deputy or city police officer.when a cop comitts police brutality here we cant even file a complaint against them they say they will LOOK INTO IT and you never here no more about it.most guys here are just bully's they just wear a badge to get by with it

You are right. You cannot argue against my opinion-it's just my opinion after all. And in answer to your question, the answer is no. If you're serious about finding out the truth, go to the primary source if possible. One of the best lessons I learned about the media was: never trust what they try to feed you. Always question, be wary, and if you can't get the primary source, get as many varied secondary sources as you can and stack them against one another. After that, still don't trust it.
