Cop Who Shoved Bicyclist Indicted Using YouTube Footage
The police officer who seemingly randomly picked a bicyclist out of a critical mass crowd to tackle has been indicted for falsifying records and could also soon be charged with misdemeanor assault. The YouTube video [below], which went viral soon after the incident, was instrumental in the indictment.
The officer claimed that the bicyclist had shoved him before the officer tackled him back, but the video shows no such incident.
Critical Mass is held on the last Friday of every month in over 300 cities across the world. Bicyclists join together for a cross-city ride moving as one unit and often disobeying traffic laws. The movement is intended to allow bicyclists, who typically must watch out for cars on the road, to be the traffic themselves.

Mother fucker police should be hung, why do we pay these fucker for?
hahahahahahahahallaollrofflecopter-lollerskates
i hope this cop gets his shit pushed in
if you blow up the video 250x
and look in the eye-piece rear view mirror
you can see that the bicyclist
was mouthing profanity towards the policeman
the f-bomb is being used repeatedly
or he may have been saying vacuum a soul
20 years from now he will be prez of the policeman’s association.
Its a shame when we as citizens pay people to protect us
and then they turn around and take advantage of other people.If you notice they don’t do this to people like judges or lawyers. I am glad video is around to catch criminals like this guy.Now we have -(Kop-busters) and (cop-watch).This kind of activity is happening all over the U.S.A. everyday.I can’t believe The Justice Department doesn’t go after these guys individually.Click on my name.
if i was that guy on the bike, i would have that cops badge on my fucking mantle.
fuck cops, fuck cars, and fuck the people that didnt beat the shit out of that cop.
golden rule motherfucker.
Amen! No police department needs an animal like that on the force.
Wow, that was outrageous. How can you trust the cops when you know some of them are this bad?
