Critical Mass Bicyclist Assaulted by NYPD

Thank you... Everyone thinks all cops are bad. All they see is videos and relate them all to every single cop in the US. Yes I agree there are a lot of BAD COPS out there that abuse their authority, but let's not forget about the good ones out there.

Just wanted to add this there were multiple people who witnessed the event, questioning the actions of the officer when he was arresting me... It's good to see society has some balls left in them.

fuck off loser

To anyone who thinks the police don't do anything like this you are mistaken. I was in NYC about a week ago and had my wallet stolen in Penn station. When I reported it the police, they refused to take my statement. When I asked for their names and badge number the ranking officer placed me in handcuffs, took the bottle of wine I had with me and opened it. I was then held for over two hours so I would miss my train and then let go with a 25 dollar fine for consumption in public.

what a looser (the cop)!

How is the cop loose?

He looked tight to me.

When we as citizens see something like this. We do nothing because, in truth, we are afraid of the police. Think about any encounter with a cop that you have ever had, even a speeding ticket. What is the immediate response? Fear. They can do anything to you and get away with it. They can keep you in jail for 2 days with no charges. We live in a warped system when we are afraid of those who supposedly protect us.

@bzzb0123...I grew up in Los Angeles in the late60's & lived in L.A until 2002. I can't tell the difference frm the cops & the criminals. They all do the same things. Kill innocent people, beat the crap out of innocent people, & rob innocent people. I hate all of the police angencies in southern california. They r nothing more than gang members. When cops die I laugh. I've seen cops do stuff like this& get away with it. If not for the video this citizen wood hv been screwed Far 2 common

why would a police officer think that it is ok to do that? What kind of culture permeates law enforcement in the US? I am sure if the video did not come out, the officer would not have been punished.
