Executive summary: To prosecute a defendant who was arrested at
the New York City Critical Mass in August (during the RNC), the
D.A.'s office edited out footage from N.Y.P.D. videotape, which
proved the guy innocent.

The guy is definitely guilty in any case, there is other evidence and the
tape does not prove him "innocent"

So how do you explain this part:

But one day after Officer Wohl testified, and before the
defense called a single witness, the prosecutor abruptly
dropped all charges.

Definitely? How could _you_ possibly know that? There's the obvious
innocent-until-proven-guilty stuff that doesn't seem to coincide with
your agenda (whatever that might be). But if some evidence was
tampered with, what makes you think that all of the rest is, pardon the
expression, bulletproof?

CM's goal is to make public demonstrations (akin to a strike by a
union) to harass (strong word, but it's true) governmental agencies
into accepting the need for more bike transportation. The governmental
agencies harass right back by arresting masses of people.

If that's what happened, I'd say the DA should be removed from office
and tried for obstruction of justice. Any DA who tries to convict an
innocent citizen - a person he knows is innocent - should do time in a
state prison.

=v= Yeah, I saw that happen once in _Law_and_Order_. The cops
in that episode were honest and competent, too. Escapist fantasy.

=v= They're pinning it on an (unnamed) underling and claiming that
it was unintentional. When it comes to accountability, competence
in the public interest) in NYC, the buck stops elsewhere.
