"NYPD cop to be tried for pushing Critical Mass cyclist"

It could never happen here.

"A disgraced rookie cop -- the son of a highly respected New York City
detective -- goes on trial tomorrow on charges he violently shoved a
cyclist during a 2008 Critical Mass rally, then covered his misdeed by
bringing bogus charges against his victim.

A civilian video of then-Officer Patrick Pogan striding toward a
surging stream of bikes near Times Square -- and pushing one cyclist
to the ground as the rider tries to swerve away -- became a YouTube
hit, and will likely be a prime piece of prosecution evidence.

But Pogan plans to insist -- in opening statements slated for Monday
-- that he did nothing wrong, said his lawyer, Stuart London.
