"To Protect and Serve," the NYPD Way
You have to wonder when these chuckleheads are going to get the idea through their skulls that just about everyone with a cell phone can shoot video with it.
UPDATE: The cop has been suspended. Given that he is a rookie, the NYPD will probably just fire him. The cyclist is going to sue the City of New York and there is a chance that the cop involved committed perjury in his arrest affidavit.

Un-fucking-real! As a devoted city bike rider for more than 5 years I am shocked. Thanks for the video and I hope it's cool I borrow it for my blog. I came from D-cup's site and your site is great. Hope it's cool if I blogroll ya...peace.
Sure it's cool, I ripped it off from the NY Times. :)
Well, I can admit to not being overly fond of bike riders in the city, thanks to some particularly douchebag-like bike messengers.
Get your car slapped/nicked/run in to, or get your foot run over, or get shoved/run off the pavement or into t wall, and it changes your perspective.
That having been said, some cops are just power-mad idiots looking for the excuse to crack skulls, just because they have"authoritah!"
I've seen a lot of bicyclists I would like to knock down, but I fail to see what this particular rider was doing that deserved that. Seems more like some asshole just being a bully for fun.
