NYPD Police Officer Who Shoved a Bicyclist Fired!
by radek
Posted: Mar 12, 2009
A police officer who was videotaped knocking a man off his bicycle and onto the ground during a cycling event in Manhattan last summer has been fired, the Police Department said.
Watch the brutal home video for all the proof needed.
Watch the brutal home video for all the proof needed.
Paul J. Browne, the Police Department’s chief spokesman, said the officer, Patrick Pogan, 23, was fired about 10 days ago.
The shoving incident, which gained widespread attention after it was videotaped...
Stuart London, a lawyer for Mr.Pogan, disputed the Police Department’s statement, saying that he had resigned.
Mr. Pogan was accused last year of assault and of filing false paperwork related to the arrest of the cyclist and was suspended from the department. The Manhattan district attorney’s office dropped the charges — attempted assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct — against the cyclist, Christopher Long.
Mr. Browne said on Thursday that the firing stemmed directly from the events involving Mr. Long, which took place on July 25 during a monthly event known as Critical Mass, in which hundreds of cyclists ride through the city to advocate nonpolluting forms of transportation.
The termination was reported by The Associated Press on Thursday night.
“They make errors all the time,” Mr. London said of the Police Department’s assertion that Mr. Pogan had been fired. Mr. Pogan resigned “to concentrate his efforts on fighting the criminal charges that are against him,” Mr. London said, “so that when he is ultimately acquitted he can re-apply to the Police Department.” The shoving incident, which gained widespread attention after it was videotaped and posted on YouTube, embarrassed the Police Department. The video has been viewed on YouTube nearly 2 million times.

Wow what a dick...
Critical mass. Have any of you seen or know what they are? A mob mentality making a bad name for cyclists. I wonder how many times that cop was told to go do something to himself before he took out this dude. I've experienced a critical mass and NO THANKS! Sorry you lost your job you're my Hero.
here in portland a guy got tazed by a cop cuz he didnt have a light on the front of his bike. and i know its illegal to not have a light on the front of your bike but come on, dont taze me bro!!
Drink the punch. This what critical mass wants. go to one of their mass idiot fests and see for yourself and read about their exploits on none cyclists..
I could watch that all day long. So sweet. A little smack down!! Hell Yeah Boy you were owned! That cop showed a little Critical Mass himself! He'll end up working for some other department to harass some of you later.
that cops a prick ..if i was that mr.long i would go see that cop and break his mouth with a baseball bat now that he is not a officer anymore
hahaha nice slash !!!! woot agreed or turn him into food for worms !!!! hahahaha !!! hey you !
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
seriously - police agencies have the worst case of bad employees - gotta stop making mall cops real cops or else you will see this again - their are dirty POS cops that think they can do whatever they want with a badge on - i hope this cop loses his job forever and is never allowed on the police force seeing as he is untrustworthy and he assualted an innocent cyclist - they try and pretend they play by the book and then they get off when they are charged with the same crime a normal citizen is given - and he thinks he is going to fight it-what a douchebag-
dude mackm do you even know what critical mass is, and how they act? I bet he got tired of the shit, the spitting, throwing of stuff towards him and acted out. Even though it was wrong for the cop, I can't blame him. You can only take so much shit. Critical mass has proven to be a major problem. Its not their cause thats the problem, its how the people act on their bikes, what they say to the other peds walking around, and how THEY provoke most of the stuff.
Like what dinkboy said, this just brings bikers a bad name, not just the cops. WHEN PEOPLE IN CRITICAL MASS CAN SHUT THEIR MOUTH, STOP CUSSING, STOP SPITTING AT PEOPLE AND THROWING STUFF, IT WILL BE FINE. Until then its just lil kid mentality trying to get a point across. If they did it in a mature way, they might actually have more of an audience and get people to listen. Not all critical mass people are guilty, but a lot are.

f*ck THE POLICE NAW JUSTICE NAW PEACE! this is why we give attitude to these f*ckers cuz we ALLL know they are dicks
ok norco, but when you actually need help, or have been threatened, who the hell will you call. Who will you call if your house catches on fire? Who will you call if your car gets stolen. Who will you call if your bike gets stolen. Who will you call if you get robbed or beaten. Man you a flippen idiot.

hopefully people dont take it that all cops are a** holes this is jsut one guy dont judge all cops by this but im sure we will get the "pig" and "stupid useless cops" and all those comments anywase
Yeah cause this is the ONLY cop out there who's an a*shole...
Sorry, but I'm tired of all the pork lovers who try to defend the cops. How many times do we need to see a cop shoot a kid with a cell phone or beat a housewife for speeding or do something like this before you realize that ALL COPS ARE a*sholeS... MAYBE SOME are cool in certain situations but the basic psychological profile of an individual which seeks out the power and controll associated with a job in law enforcement matches nearly exactly the profile of those who should NEVER be given that kind of power or control. This is just more proof of that.

I'm sure dealing with the scum of the earth day after day would have a negative affect on you as well. I would also bet that you believe everyone should have weapons, and police themselves...but that opens a whole new debate.
You shouldn't talk shit about someone and their career until you've worked in the field yourself.

It's not the nature of the work that creates these social behaviors as much as the power associated with the job that attracts certain "a*shole" cops.
The must be to some extent a god complex that compels potential embarrassments to join the force. I don understand why the psychological screening doesn't catch this.
Police work isnt the only occupation with these unhealthy steriotypes.. It's just as easy to say that most Doctors carry horrible god complexes and are usually self righteous a*sholes.

Why don't you all let it go? People on this site hate it when bikers are sterotyped as being rude by cutting people off, swearing at pedestrians, and generally being cocky a*sholes, but as soon as any other person is sterptyped, yeah, let's go for it, they deserve the sterotype. Just let it go guys, every single person on this planet is part of one sterotype or another so why are they each so different. Don't get me wrong, I've met a lot of asswad cops, but I've also met a lot of asswad bikers. Just leave it alone and say that this one person did something wrong, not the whole of police around the world.
i kept an open mind on this cos i know people can be dicks weather a cyclist,a cop or any one.....until i watched the vid!! that attack was TOTALY WITHOUT REASON OR PROVICATION that cop is a disgrace & deserves to lose his career!
if that happened in the U.K it was cause a riot

Didn't you read, he quit and is going to re-apply for th position. The rest of the force is probably on his side and is just jumping through the media's hoops.
im not a "pork lover" im going through school to be a cop and im sick of hearing all these ungratefull ass holes who rip on the bad cops andjudge all the rest because of them theres bound to be bad cops does'nt mean were all bad
all my uncles are cops. you should hear the stories they tell at our reunions. f*ck the police.
the guy didnt do anything. and if he did i dont see the need to knock him on his ass. they could have stopped him other ways, he wasnt riding directly at the cop he was going around him. The only time force like that should be used is if the officer is being assaulted or someone is resisting arrest.
to anyone on here who is a cop, wants to be a cop, or is in the process of becoming, I think you suck and i dont care what anyone else thinks about that.
as far as critical mass goes, I dont know much about them but i belive we have a right to assemble in public without being harrassed.

I think what you're saying is a little ignorant. There are hundreds of reasons for police to use force. What about it the person is endangering other peoples lives? What if the person is drunk/high and known to be aggressive? As other people have stated, when dealing with the stuff they deal with everyday, they probably start to look down on society, and I probably would to. The fact is, if there were no cops, you would be some gangs bitch. And if you disobeyed them, it would be much worse then what any cop would do to you.
And as for this video, it looks like he may have messed up. I don't see what the biker did wrong, but also if what dinkboy says is true, I don't much care for these bikers.

well that guy did none of those things. if they are going to look down on society for what others do then they should be fired. And if there were no cops i would take my guage to anyone who came within 50 feet of me regardless.
Which is why I said that it didn't appear that he did anything wrong. You are no better then them for looking down on them. Which is probably why they are like that. And it doesn't work like that, if you killed a gang member, then that gang would be after you and you would be screwed... anyways there is no sense in getting into that.
No need to generalize about if all critical mass riders or all cop are good or bad. I'm sure there are great people and bad apples on both sides.
Now in this case, guess what, the cop went in front of the court, based on the evidence he was found guilty. End of story...it's his fault. I'm sure all those little ladies and old men in critical mass rides, on their commuter bikes are a real threat to society and biking. Give me a break.
Cops are paid to deal with adversity and not to take things personally, so are judges. This goes for all of us too. Just because we had a bad example dealing with a cops, or a rider, or a skater, or whatever, should not make us generalize and become closed minded.
In this case, we hate this act because it was done by zealous individual that was pissed off at some other group of people, generalized his previous experience, and acted to hurt someone probably not doing anything wrong. What I read from this is not that cops are bad, but that you get bad apples everywhere, and you can't generalize groups because you may have had one, or even a few bad experiences.

I'm going to be honest here, i know a few cops and they are all really nice people. It seems a bit backward for you to assume anybody who join the police wants power. your just stereotyping a negative view from incidents that very rarely happen. it's like calling americans idiots, of course most americans are not idiots, thats the negative stereotype! I'm in no way condoning this guys actions and to be honest i think he should be prosecuted but let's just remember what these guys deal with on a day to day basis.
"And if there were no cops i would take my guage to anyone who came within 50 feet of me regardless." - do us a favour pal, don't have kids!

Gawd thank you guys! It's good to see other people on here with common sense! That officer got in trouble for his actions so therefore, he is no better than anybody else, and he didn't get away with it because he's a cop.
"it's like calling americans idiots, of course most americans are not idiots, thats the negative stereotype!"
That's a very refreshing thing to here on this site! I can't think of how many times I've been called a "stupid American". Just because our President was an Idiot does not make the entire country stupid! ARG

I agree. normal people don't want to drive around all day with a gun and harass people. That's why police work attracts people that aren't normal, sometimes not in a bad way, but usually. It's usually people who want to have control over people or have some other grandiose superhero-type delusions.
I wrenched with a guy who tried to be a cop but couldn't for some reason.. randomly one day he brought his pistol, a bulletproof vest and handcuffs to work in a duffel bag to show off. This was years after trying to be a cop they were still his most valued posessions. I could tell they made him feel powerful but I was just hoping it wasn't actually a rape kit.

must just be mainly the usa cops and city cops. our rcmp officers up here are generally pretty decent and dont shoot ppl with cell phones or beat fast driving housewives like some retard said up top

haha im a biker and i find it really true the stereotype al the bmxers with exeption to the 3 out of the group of 20 do cut ppl of on purpose swear and freak ppl and can be cocky a*sholes

definately an unlawful act. Disrespectful. The officer got what he deserved. Hope the cyclist was okay.
Somewhat outraged there are charges against the cyclist. I am pretty sure if a cop/anyone ran and pushed me off my bike I am going to be angry as hell. I am pretty sure I would have thrown a punch or two.
I like police when they actually do something, I just cannot stand them when they do shit like this. Similar to that skateboarding video as well, or the bmx kid in the park. I would much rather see criminal charges laid against the cop than have him just fired.

yeah, that stupid Baltimore cop beaked those skaters and bmxers when they did nothing but except have fun instead of doing weed or cocaine.
man, in austin we deal with cops like that all of the time. They can be rude for no reason just because we are trying to ride around town. One guy even ran a cyclist over one year and the cops let him off. Then a guy has sat there and spun his tires while i was waiting on a stop light to turn green....i dont understand. but the guy that spun his tires weighed about 400 pounds, so i guess he was just jealous, i ono
[Reply]
That was crazy shit, he got a bit of a running start even... and straight out tackled that guy!!! I cant even believe that they would try to file charges against the cyclist after that... Either way, the NYPD is going to be writing a nice fat check to that rider after that blatant assault.
Im a Police Officer and I hate to see stuff like that. It gives all of us a bad name. That why everyone hates cops.

good cop, bad cop, and then there is this prick, what an ass hole.
why did he push the dude off his bike, he should do time for that.

there was alot about this on the web when it first surfaced. the cop in question is the son of a high ranking police officer. he wrote the charge out and it was only several weeks later that the vid appeared. still it was weeks before anything offical was done.
Stuff like this never gets anything done about it unless it is caught on camera, AND if the media decides to play it. The amount of stuff that does not get reported accurately is astounding.
what a prick
some people have no respect for life.....
that almost makes me sick to see.
that man is super dick
its a real shame that there are really shit people around......
doh

What a dick, I hope that he doesn't walk on the charges. I mean I think that it would be hard with the evidence against him, but it is easy to grease some palms in that city.
No dude, you don't understand: he already got fired (it is not like he's still waiting to hear about it). NYPD Commisioner said in an statement they'd fired him, but this a*shole's lawyer replied saying he'd resigned istead (what a prick!). Just read on.
I kow that he was fired for it, but there should be criminal and civil charges brought against him. That is what I hope that he doesn't get off for. I know that he didn't resign as well, just looks better on the part of the NYPD.
That cops a d*ck, who does he think he is "god", you cant do that stuff to people. What injuries did the ridder get? and hope he sues that cop for every cent he's got.
what this post should also convey to people is that the police are not above the law themselves. just because they wear a badge dosnt mean that they can control you or tell you what to do in all situations. the police are answerable to the same laws we are, and all officers should be careful about what they do in public for this reason.
We as civilians have the right to observe the actions of the police on public property. they are after all public servents, our taxes pay their wages.
You can film the police unless its a threat to their safety, which is hardly ever. if a situation does arise where you think the police have stepped over the line a bit, a video like this one will always lead to a good result for you. excessive force, violence, threatening language are all illegal. dont let the cops get away with it.
If the police aproach you and ask you to turn off your camera ask why, and politely say no. Give them no excuse to arrest you, like swearing and being cocky, and you should be fine.
Always remember not to criminalise yourself. You dont have to answer their questions if you think it may cause you to get into trouble. alot of people do this, they admit to a crimes when the cop has evidence and get arrested. sometimes your better off not saying anything!

This is a really happy outcome. First time I saw the video in YouTube I was enraged (I belong with Birmingham Critical Mass). For all that I care, the police are the worst criminals ever to encounter in the whole of the world (as simple as that), so it is better for you if you have no dealings whatsoeve with them. Here I'd like to encourage people to make good friends and don't support the police for whatever it is they might need your help for. The reason being, they are very likely to set you up as they don't mean to "protect" but just to work towards the evidence which will help them in prosecuting you and sending you to prision. Just be weary of these f....* in blue iniforms (they're all loosers and will probably take it out on you).
If you Brits can control your mass' great. In the States it gives people who want to start trouble an excuse too. I could care less about the Cops and Yeah I understand the god complex that they have. I can say I truly hate Critical Mass. Not for their Ideals. But for their execution of their protests and how they take on no responsibility for what people in their Mass' do. If you policed yourself ( you may have to arrest a few of your own) then have at it. Taking over the city streets and in Seattles case when they went onto the freeway and blocked traffic. Tell me why I should show any support for CM? They're not cyclist they're protesters on bikes.
I probably should not have spoken like that, but what about cars overtaking the streets? Did you know that an old lady told me off the other day just because I was riding my bike on the sidewalk. As she was taking it out on me I did explain I was much too worried about cars (they just don't repect you) and that she should not worry because I did not mean to run her over. On the other side of thing, just to say I am impress on your response (it is very mature), for you are only 8 are you not? Take care mate.
By the way, for those who live in the West Midlands, just to say that Birmingham Critical Mass usually gathers in front of Saint John's at 5 o'clock every first Friday of every month.

hope that muppet gets aids!!!!!! and his family burn in hell whilst his poor rancid mother looks down on him from heaven just before she is thrown in to hell for having a c*nt of a son! lol. i'd sue the bugger!

I live in New York and remember the hype over here when it did happen. so I now say lets' get that dick on a bike out here, put him on the downhill trail, and knock the fcuk of his shit
I don't know man, sounds more like power of suggestion. That is abuse of his power, but has got to be a reason why he did that, no?
The way people stereotype the police, and automatically being stereotyped by doing so is unbelievable. Sure, some cops are a*sholes, but then again, the most you encounter aren't. Ever thought bout it when you street 'round, that you can trash state property, and more important, hurt people?
Anyway just sayin' that guy is abusing his power, but I'd like to know the reason why he 'stopped' that dude, by smacking him down, before I start throwin around insults and start stereotyping people.
Just a thought that you guys maybe try to do the same, and maybe there wouldn't be such a bad relation between cops and bikers.
peace.

MDC-More Dead Cops!f*ckin bastard should be cuffed to dh bike and and push through big redBull gap...
If it hadn't been video taped, the VICTIM would still have had charges of assault and resisting arrest filed against him. Those charges could have ruined the guy!!!
Scary.

the daily douchebag award has been claimed! I wonder what would've happened if the cyclist was an off-duty bike patrol cop? JohnnyLaw, "...okay people...move along...".
I don't think the cop should have been fired. maybe the cyclist shouldn't have been riding in a critical mass event.... the rider was breaking the law, he got stopped, where is the problem?
i don't think "stopped" is the problem. do you mean shoot first ask questions later? clearly the guy showed no threat even if he might've yelled something out. I think if you do an a**shole thing at work there's always that chance you'll get fired.
how was he breaking the law, i don't see how the police officer had reason to do that, does anybody?
Critical mass' arent illegal, cops just dont like them because it slows down traffic. as long as you follow all TRAFFIC laws, nothing can be done. we've been stopped by cops before because people had called in and so the cops went to investigate and they just ask what is going on and if we are obeying traffic laws then nothing can be done.
critical mass doesn't obey traffic laws. Are you kidding me? I swear to god if you haven't been in a car at an intersection during a criticalAss gathering then your talking out your arse. If any one honks at them for when they're running a red light they mob the vehicle and threaten the occupants. Look at the losers who participate. most of them couldn't afford a car. a bunch of pissed off hippies and students with a mob mentality.
critical mass riders break several laws, the most common one is riding to the far right... not in a huge mob, blocking traffic. If you two people were to drive at an extremely slow rate of speed down the road blocking traffic, they could be given tickets. Back when CM first started it had a purpose, and a focus, it was well advertised what was going on... now, not so much. It's a bunch of hipsters that want to stand for something, and unfortunately they go about it in an absolutely horrible way. CM only pisses off more drivers causing them to have a negative reflection of bicyclists. The cop may have been in the wrong to some degree, but the cyclist wasn't exactly in the right either.
critical mass is an embarrassment to the cycling community, and should be viewed as such.

well if people know when CM is then why don't they avoid those certain roads during that time, you don't try to drive over the people in the st.patricks day parade do you?
you don't try to run over people during the parade because the road is blocked off, and every single person knows what's going on. CM often times has different routes, and is not posted ANYWHERE telling drivers what is going on, most have absolutely no idea. so, it ends up looking like a bunch of crazy bike nazis riding in the middle of the road just to block traffic and generally just be a*sholes because they're in a group.
I think the cop deserved it. It was a cheap shot, plain and simple. He should get assault charges on him.
On the other hand, the Critical Ma*sholes are a bad representation of cyclists IMO. They do tons of stupid shit & think they own the road. We all share the roads ppl. But that's why I ride a mountain bike. Asphalt is boring anyways

Nothing wrong with doing that. It's just that Critical Mass are well known for doing stupid shit all the time that gives themselves a bad rap. Here in Toronto, they decided to do one of their monthly rides down the Gardiner expressway. A freekin highway. It obviously created havoc on the highway but more importantly, someone could have gotten messed up bad. They didn't organize it with the city or anything, they just decided to take a couple hundred ppl on bikes (including young children riding with their dumb ass parents) onto a highway to promote their 'green mode of transportation'
There's lots of good Critical Mass peeps that keep the vision of what they're doing. But there's a lot of them who take it to he opposite extreme & think they own the roads. Those guys are the problem & why Critical Mass gets heat.

Yeah cause this is the ONLY cop out there who's an a*shole...
You are a tool! Its kids like you who bitch and moan about "Police Brutality" and then when they need someone to protect their family bitch and moan about response time. If I was an officer in your area I just might really take my time responding to any 911 call you ever made.
As a side note all the no job having clown doing the mass BS just really need to get something better to do. They can keep their fixie POS bikes the hell out of the way of Bay Area commuters. Hell even bike messengers hate em!

i gotta agree on your side note. Hipsters go home. That guy had a cop uniform on and that's that. if you're a douchebag it doesn't really matter how you're dressed does it? i'm convinced there's still plenty of

And they trust that guy with a gun??? Imagine what he's capible of when no one else is around. He's probibly taken out loads of inocent people already. Fired is NOT good enough, he should also be charged and sued.
as bad as it is that the cop did this.... it probably the funniest video i'll see today. that copper like chased him down then totally leveled him... whats not funny about that?
[Reply]
I blame the fixie too. Just kidding that cop was a piece of shit just like every other cop. That is serving the public? If you are a cop you are an a*shole no doubt about it. It is a power trip. If they were all really interested in serving and protecting they would become firemen. The fact is they are all little impotent freaks hell bent on gaining some control they just can't find if they are not standing behind that badge. He could have paralyzed that cyclist. All for what? so he didn't feel so powerless against the "raging" critical massers. All cops no matter what you say represent a gang of thugs that can basically do anything they want. This includes filing false assault reports on people who care about the planet. Sorry about the rant I f*cking hate cops. They could seriously all rot in hell in my opinion. f*ck the f*cking police
not trying to offend you or anything but the majority of the police in England aren't power hungry maniacs who want to throw their weight around - rules about policing in the states are wayy too relaxed - people seem to accept that police are right, and the police think the same way -> they don't question their actions before they carry them out! I think they just need tighter rules and regulations on policing, and a more active approach from citizens to stand up to the police!
dude, what f*cking a*sholes

hey theres a PinkBiker from Canada on here that says it's him gettin knocked off the bike! I dunno,.sounds BOGUS!?
[Reply]
I don't care if you like cops, or hate cops. EVERYONE makes bad choices sooner or later in life. Its more than obvious that this officer malitiously targeted a specific cyclist!!! This pig needs to have a fixie ramed up his ass, and be paraded around a prison yard! This type of action, from a community service officer is absolutely unacceptable!!!
And they wonder why a majority of the public doesn't trust them. On the other hand, all of my encounters with the fuzz in my town, they have been pretty damn cool. My 2 cents.

nothin funny bout police brutality. that ride was to try and promote cycling in the city. theyre trying to turn one of the avenues into a bike only street. i heard the story at one of the friday night under the stars rides in central park a week after it happened. theres a big 5 borough ride comin up. why dont you all come on out and support what u love so much. hope to see all you guys out there.
its not the fact they are cops most cops are good and uphold the law just look at his partner just let people ride by, if they would have been dressed as bakers the guy would have done the same they should really be going after him because of the false reprort and charges filed by the cop not the unneccesary takedown how many times have you laughed at the show cops when they light someone up
That a-hole needs to do some time in prison, maybe that'd bring him back down to earth. If I knew how to make one of those online petitions I would make one to try to put some pressure on NYPD to do more than fire him. Like assault, battery, un-necessary use of force. p>And to all the people defending cops; if we should have to experience their career before we knock it, the pigs should have to do a year in prison before they can make an arrest.
what the f*ck was his problem the guy did nothing! i hate how cops feel they can do everything and not get in shit thats ridiculous
What really interests me in an incident lite this is the motivation behind the action; What was he thinking and why did the decide to do what he did? What are the preceding events and what value-system does he have to justify such an action? Whichever way you look at it the action is rather drastic and anti-social...
Sadly we are highly unlikely to ever hear honest words coming from Mr Pogan...

this is a part of the american culture. in the school, the kids plays violent games like, American football, Hockey, wrestle, and more. When the kids are a adult people the violence is in his mind. Esto es parte de la cultura norteamericana, desde chicos en la escuela hacen deportes violentos como futbol americano, hockey, lucha y mas. entonces cuando este chico crece se convierte en un adulto que tiene la violencia en su cerebro esperando para golpear, matar , torturar ecetera. si a esa pérsona le damos una placa de "autoridad" listo , tenemos una maquina de maldad que presta servicios y obedece a una maquina de matar mas grande que es el gobierno.
The cop was unjustified in doing what he did, and deserved disciplinary action. The crazed and self-righteous cop-hate of most of the previous posters makes you aware of what police have to deal with on a daily basis. These Critical Mass events are plainly and deliberately illegal, and as a cyclist I get a bit pissed whenever I read an article that presents them in glowing fellow-traveler terms. CM is a deliberately polarizing movement aimed at fostering an us-versus-them mentality, and it obviously works, but only at making people hate each other. Be proud, bikers!
Thank you - he absolutely deserved to be fired, but the f*cking worthless hipsters who comprise Critical Mass events are a bunch of douchebags who show a blatant disregard for both the law, and of private citizens who are restricted from free movement because CM pricks have to get their way.
you have a blatent disregard for peoples rights to alternative transport. not everyone wants to pollute this planet and drive everywhere. here in the uk critical mass is aimed at getting beter cycle routes in towns and cities and giving priorities to cyclists. congestion is a big problem and you may find that commuters in their cars are the biggest cause of congestion in cities, not cyclists. Critical mass is an effective way to gain awareness of cyclists and alternative means of transport. motorists inconveniance the whole planet by polluting thousands of tonnes of C02 emmisions every year. as a cyclist on this website you should support critical mass. motorists are ignorant bastards like yourself who dont give a shit about anybody else. people like you have had their way for too long and its time for a change.
The idea behind Critical Mass is good. The reality is that it turns into a mob mentality as badlander wrote; they cause a us against them mentality. Just because they're on bikes doesn't make them good for the cycling community.

cops nothing more than jacked boot thugs that was picked on in school or mommy didnt brest feed them long enough or what ever and now they have a badge and gun and go around dealing out the personal vengence
Totally inacceptable and totally unprovoked. The only thing I can think of is why did it take an entire year to fire this a$$hole. Talk about abusing your power.
critical mass definitly brings out the best in people
that Cop is a dick, no need to tackle someone off their bike.

Finally! I saw that vid and thought a)what provoked it, b)why the unnecessary shoving, and c) hope he gets fired.

the police are only doing a job, and a difficult on at that, just look how much abuse they get from all you guys, heaping it on them, why do you think they go macho on us, because we laugh, make fun, abuse them, they are people too, and if we don't have policemen to uphold the law, we'd all be screwed because all the criminals locked in jail would be free = anarchy, think about it, lay off 'em
looks to me that the two Policemen were waiting for that particular rider, which probably means someone radioed ahead for them to grab him for something he might have done along the ride earlier. I don't approve of what the 'Cop' did but there is always three sides to every story.
Yeah i heard this group is a bunch of dicks.You have no idea about the situation so how can you judge him? And how the f*ck are you going to judge all cops. They are the people that keep us safe and put their lives on the line for us. Yeah iv gotten in trouble with them but i deserved it. People need to see their own wrongs and quit judging. Id like to see you defend the people only to have them spit back in your face.
no offense but a critical mass mob probably has less muscle mass than the first row of a hannahmontana show!!! rise up Organibal Lecter!!! eat the waifs!!!!!!!
If you watch the video really close you can see the rider preparing himself for a hit. Which might mean he did do something earlier or off camera and he now knows he's busted. However. I don't condone what the officer did or how he did it. Who knows what really happened? Not me! Maybe the cop hit him because his socks were pulled up to ass.
the rider was not preparing for a hit. he was trying to get through and round the cop.
the cop is officially an a*shole!!!!!

I don't know about you guys, but I've never had a cop help me out personally in any situation, even when I've called and asked for it. I have, however, been hauled into the back of a car and grilled for an hour for walking with friends in the middle of the night, and I have been issued speeding tickets for going 2km over, very close to the end of the month and near to quota deadlines...
I know police do a great service and that for the most part we're better off having them, but f*ck, some cops think they've got the hand of God resting on their shoulder. I can tell you one thing, if this ever happened to me I'd gladly take the charges and beating that would ensue if I could just get one solid punch into the face of that as*hat and break a few teeth off.
No one is above the law, and cops don't ever think that in a community, it isn't very hard to find out where someone lives...

What you dont see if whats happening on the right side of the camera before the police. MAYBE the guy that got knocked on his ass, flipped off the cop or did something stupid that warranted an ass whoopen from Mr. Policeman
I don't know what planet you are from but making a hand gesture at a police officer may well land you in a spot of trouble but it should never 'deserve' an ass whoopen or any other kind of assault, especially not one as severe and deliberate as the one that this unprofessional idiot dished out. The Police are (supposed to be) trained to deal with the odd idiot and need to rise above it regardless of the circumstances. What happens in that video is a flagrant abuse of authority and should never have happened. He did deserve to be sacked for such conduct, no matter how it arose.
he shud be sued and go to prison himself go through peoples pain he shud go die in a holeu stupid cop
i hate the police shut u down for building jumps or riding somewhere but i feel bad for the cop about getting fired and he shouldn't did that
harsh as f**k, the poor kid on the bike caught it up big time there, jesus christ man - what the F**k did he do to deserve that?...NYC baby!
i'm sure he said something to the cop.....highly doubt that he was singled out for an act of blatant aggression.
[Reply]
[Reply]
I'm glad they fired him. There's absolutely no excuse for doing that - even if the rider had been reported for some breach of conduct, knocking him off his bike like that is dangerous and unecessarily violent.
they should lay him down, place a ramp a few feet in front of him, and let everyone who was there land on his fat ass!

wooooooooow f*ck the 5-0. cops are always bagging on shit that doesnt even matter. f*ck that a*shole!
My cousin was recently visiting his parents in Hamilton, and was having an arguement with his girlfriend when a knock came at the back door. He answered the door and the next thing he knew he was handcuffed face down with a knee in his back. The cops didn't believe he was at home, he said go upstairs and look at the pictures of me. WHile one cop was upstairs the other broke his knee!!! THis kind of shit goes on ALL THE TIME... To serve and protect??? BULLSHIT! Knock on wood everybody cos in this day and age all you can hope for is luck

yer this is going to help the rep of riders. are you realy that dum or just tryin to fit in with the dumdum crowed (f**k what protects us) i bet if you bike was stolen the cop's would be your first call.

jeez, thats scary! and to think that i ride all over Manhattan, and get yelled at by cops and angry old people all the time-to think that people would be this aggressive towards cyclists is pretty mind-boggling. why? guess i better really put on the gas when i see the cops coming...
I regret to read some words like "f.ck the police" or "some should kill that cop" ... Are all the NY policemen like him in USA ?
This man is an idiot but do not put any cop in the same basket please. They are not all like him !
For sure, this man is the jerk I've ever seen since a long time !!

I had a little clash with the police a few days ago. I live in a small town where you'd figure at least a cop would be nice. ALL cops are mother f*ckers, no matter how much trouble they're stopping. People who disagree, listen to Gang Control, and Operation MOVE by Leftover Crack.
WTF why wopuld that jack ass biker get in the way of that cop hahaha 
well i love police i love bikers i bvlame that cop there because he is amarican
well i love police i love bikers i bvlame that cop there because he is amarican
cops aren't all bad, its just like any other effing career field, there are a-holes everywhere. i personally know a ton of cops that are some of the most down to earth people i've met, it's just a job but some morons let it get to their heads. the human resources people that do the hiring should be blamed for sometimes hiring short tempered people. the blame is not on every single cop out there. some cops actually care about protecting people and not just about getting to beat people up and take advantage of their positions of authority.
what a dick that cop is, personally I have no respect for any of them that work the area i live, as they are corrupt fu*kers up here too. All thinking they are above the law they are meant to enforce.
This proves cops are douche bags.
There's hundreds of people watching and they knock some guy off his bike(What kind of shit do they pull when no one is watching?).
I bet if it wasn't video taped that cop would still have his job,he would have made up some bullshit excuse of why he had to do it.
cops suck.

I was thinking exactly the same thing, I think all police should carry a "little black box" that records what they REALLY do and say!!!!!!!!!!!
Out of all the cyclist on the road this cop sees this guy and goes after him.
Did the cyclist do something?

you know that was a fixie without any brakes, probably that's why the other guy took the bike away after the crash, and maybee the P.man saw it was a fixie and thought ..."the rider couldn't brake, his fault, i just was so happy about my donuts arriving, that i jumped to the walkway"
bad day, happens

aa the cop, he should of gave him the wood shampoo!some of those guys on bikes act like dicks and give us all a bad name same goes for the pigs.remember in
frisco when those bikers on critacal mess atacked the lady and kids in the mini van i wish they got beatdown
frisco when those bikers on critacal mess atacked the lady and kids in the mini van i wish they got beatdown
I'm not defending the cop but if I were him and that guy spit on me or something the first lap around I probably would have done something about it too. Then its not being an a*shole, its just eye for an eye. However, I don't think I would have lit him up like that either.
doesnt matter what could happen or which motivations that cop had... he just can not abuse the power that society gave him. that{s it. It can´t be a issue under debate... to abuse is even worst if you have public power.
Pedestrians have the right of way. Pedestrians have a right to defend themselves if threatened by moving vehicles. The cop started to walk to the sidewalk, possibly to help a little old lady cross, and the biker kept coming knowing full well that a pedestrian is moving on foot, walking and has plenty of time to stop his bike. But the cyclist pulled an illegal move by simply trying to veer haphazardly around the pedestrian.
The cop had every right to defend his position, whether he had a badge or a grocery bag. Just because he was bigger and had good leverage to square up was bad luck for the biker.
If it had been a skinny rookie cop deciding to move to the side, and the cyclist was a 200+lb guy, the cop would have gotten leveled. You wusses have no idea what real brutality is. Don't be sissys and take responsibility.
If you're on your bike, act like you're in a car and do things right. If that cop had walked between cars in that same manner, the car would be expected to stop and be called a murderer. Since it's a skinny guy and a strong cop, you all give skinny boy victim status. Bull.

The Cop was not defending his position. He clearly went out of his way to shove the poor guy. So ya, what a dick!!!
Ya, you can tell the cop was going for him...

Last summer in Toronto we had CM and the same thing basically happened.
A cop asked a rider to make way for a car and of course he didn't. It would have been against everything the ride stands for. The cop threw the guy (60 plus) off his bike and went to arrest him. That was until the crowd started to chant 'LET HIM GO LET HIM GO" that cop was also a dick.
If a cop has a bad temper then he shouldn't be involved in events like this. I'm glad he was fired.

f*ck the police coming straight from the underground! a young (***ga) got it bad ....................lol
The cyclist most likely fingered the cops and they saw. While disrespectful it's still no grounds for assault. Cops aren't gods but they sometimes think they are the law rather than people paid to enforce it. B.C transit cops are the worst!
but still, this a-hole got to keep his job for like 9 months after this??? Should have been fired THAT DAY!! life is so unfair.
NYPD at their finest, at least he didn't shove a baton up the poor cyclists' ass after the takedown.

Saying "I hate cops" is really, really dumb. Try to imagine life without a police force, the strongest most violent people would rule over everyone else, none of your personal property would be at all safe and rape and murder would be commonplace. The police do a shitty job that could cost them their life on any random day. Yes, this particular cop did something outrageously wrong and stupid, he's probably got an aggressive personality and shouldn't be a cop at all. I know at least one police officer who spends all his free time cycling and is a nice guy with it. Don't blame them all for the poor behaviour of a minority, there are a*sholes in every job and every walk of life.
well there has to be a deliberate reason for a cop to knock a biker on his ass. This video suggests that the cop just picked some random guy to lay the f*ck out.
Don't hate the fuzz for doing their job... but this guy was a douche bag with a badge. Probably kicks puppies and hits his wife and kids too. Bashing the crap out of some single speeder was NOT his job, no matter what the dude was saying or not saying. To Serve and Protect, not to Maim and Intimidate.
The Police do a good job 90% of the time, they help people in need, in trouble and even let you off when you have messed up and need a break. You can never paint all people with the same brush. I have known a number of Cops over the years, 80% were really good dudes... the other 20% were a$$h0le$. Maybe a little higher tard to nice Police, but that is likely because of the type of role they play and the power trippers they attract.
There are a TON of career protesters out there who love $h!t like this, only way they can get off I guess, so be it. The problem is they ruin it for those out there to prove a point. When you have something to say, sometimes you have to say it in a way that really gets the point across. Is a CM event the way? Maybe, maybe not... not for me to say.
In both the US and Canada, we have somewhat of a democracy, and we have rules we live by. In the US and Canada you have the right to protest openly if you follow the rules. Was bike dude following the rules, again hard to say from the vid. All I know is he got friggin creamed BIG time. Then his bike got stolen, fark, what a $hit deal. THEN he got arrested. The whole time with like 5000 people standing by and 1 dude with a camera.
Like Rodney King said... "The next time, if you see me getting beat by the Police, do us ALL a favor, put down the camera and HELP ME"!
Or like the dude who ended up with the Single Speed said.... "hey, free bike"!
sorry, had to

It's easy to say f*ck the police and talk like a rebel. It probably wouldn't be so easy to live without law enforcement. I find it hard to believe that this cop assulted a cyclist for no apparent reason. I may be wrong but alot of people on here have good points about stereotyping. You may think all cops are dicks, but that's the same as someone saying all bikers take up lanes, and all black people are n*ggers. This is ignorance at it's finest.
..at it's finest indeed..critical mass should be labeled Fecal Mess. If your part of a disorganized disruptive parade like that someone's bound to step in it and not like it.

It takes a doctor 8 yrs of schooling and an internship before they are allowed to practice medicine and only a few months at an academy for a cop before they give him a gun, yet they both are authorized to make life and death decisions...scary!
Wow, how profound. (rolls eyes)
Actually doctors take an oath to do everything in their power to prevent death and cure illness. The years in college are to provide them with the extensive medical knowledge they need to diagnose and treat their patients.
Cops swear to Serve and Protect law abiding citizens and uphold the law of the land. They can only use their firearms when the lives of innocent people or their own lives are threatened.
You can't compare the two occupations.

c-mon guys.. Yes it's a useless act, but still this guy is fired. And people act like shit. They spit on them.. If I spit on you... Will you react like him ? YES so please stop saying that. I didn't realy love cops, but still I stay out of trouble. And the best place to ride your bike, is in a bike park. So peace to all and try to get out of trouble whit autority.
UNDER PAID POLICE OFFICIERS WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT,IF I WAS THE GUY THAT GOT PUSHED,i would don clap him and sue hime for all he has
