Critical Mass cyclist sues NYPD for $1.5M.
"A cyclist knocked off his bike by a rookie cop last summer is suing
the NYPD for $1.5million on Tuesday for trying to cover up the shocking attack, which was taped and put on YouTube. Lawyers for farmer Christopher Long, 30, are charging in papers to be filed today in Manhattan Federal Court that former Police Officer Patrick Pogan, 23, tried to conceal the truth about the July 2008 tackle. Long was riding his bike through Times Square, part of a rally by the cycling activist group Critical Mass, when Pogan - a former high school football player - body- slammed him to the ground. Pogan arrested Long for assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct - claiming that he was weaving in and out of traffic and refused to stop. A video later appeared on YouTube showing that Pogan was unprovoked when he threw his shoulder into Long's body. The department fired Pogan in February for making false police reports. "Nobody would have cried foul if it wasn't for that video," said Long's lawyer, Jonathan Moore. He said Long is living in rural Wisconsin and working on a farm. "There is psychological trauma, which explains why he is not living in New York City right now," Moore said. "It is a terrible experience for him to go through." The NYPD declined to comment on the case" http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2009...body_slam.html -- Critical Mass London http://www.criticalmasslondon.org.uk "Whose streets? Our streets". |

Its not kettling. Drivers are free to turn around and seek another route and many do. When the police do it those contained are not free to leave. Besides which police kettling usually lasts for several hours and CM usually passes in minutes. -- Critical Mass London http://www.criticalmasslondon.org.uk "Whose streets? Our streets". |

So, going back to that earlier thread then, your CM cyclists are NOT being 'rammed', because they are free to get the hell out of the way. Damn, this equal treatment stuff really screws up your case eh Doug? |

By your definition there's nothing wrong with kettling either, as the protesters are free to turn round and leave. Mike P |

Like dougs posts or not, it's a pretty silly comparison By your definition there's nothing wrong with kettling either, as the protesters are free to turn round and leave. No they aren't. The whole point is to contain them in a small area -- Chris French |
