Cops v. bikes in NYC

If you haven't already seen it: I'm outraged. The US has a ways to go in acceptance of bicycles as a fine mode of transport. We'll get there someday, but the actions of this cop sum up what I think of as most Americans' view of bicyclists.

read that this cop is a rookie. son of a retired NYPD detective who said "Hey sometimes ya gotta do what you gotta do to make an arrest". and he was a high school football offensive lineman. and his report said that the bicyclist rammed him deliberately and resisted arrest. although he made his report before the vid surfaced. what a fucking hero. FWIW, the biker is an army veteran.

Excellent responses, respectless. Jail time or dishonorable discharge?

and his report said that the bicyclist rammed him deliberately and resisted arrest. *blink* *blink* ...wtf? what's wrong with that guy? it's very clear that the only thing the cyclist resisted was the collision with the cop. :P
