This isn't keeping the peace, this is the old police turning the peaceful domonstration into an excuse to beat people. A classic old time tactic of the police theater of protest.

Vehicular assault with a motorvehicle, isn't that illegal? Then he continues to taunt the person he hit. That isn't a cop, that is the criminal. Someone throwing their bike at a vehiclular assaulting criminal is called a defensive action. He should have Obama's Nobel Prize for promoting police against the portland mounted militia. A motorcycle cop is like a horse copy except that the penis goes on the top. This film clearly demonstrates that issue.

This dude throws a bike and then tries to run? Wrong or right, you aren't outpacing 3 bike cops. That's stupid.

The cop accelerated first. THAT'S very clear.
The bicylist jabbed because he knew what the cop was trying to do, provoke him. The cop had full control of the situation.

@9ine6ix the media is garbage. we all know this by now.

Joel goes to church? If true, that would account for all the thefts from the collection box.

@PissOFFuWanker He wasn't pushing back towards the cop. He saw the cop was heading towards him, hesitated for a moment to figure out what to do and started to try and shift the bike's position to get out of the way. Just watch his feet. At no point did he stop walking forwards.
I'm no police apologist (I've won a civil rights case against police) and I definitely subscribe to some anarchist ideology, but these protesters are completely counterproductive. Their actions aren't accomplishing anything positive in terms of raising public awareness about state sponsored violence and police corruption because all the public is going to take away is the image of some dude pelting a cop with a bike. The cops were definitely in the wrong but why stoop to their level?

if you need to decide weather a cop should be there your all ready too stupid to win...you got dumb enough to act like a piece of shit, you lost...if someone has to pay a person to watch you and your friends and make sure your not hurting the town...your wasting resources
