A bike rider who was participating in one of the monthly critical mass bicycle rides was inexplicably targeted for physical punishment by a New York City police officer. The incident, which occurred in New York City's Times Square, was caught on video by a tourist. Watch the shocking video below:
After the cyclist, who has been identified as an army veteran, was hit by Officer Pogan (reportedly a 3rd generation police officer), like he was a member of an opposing football team and it was Superbowl Sunday, the cyclist was arrested by the officer and charged with: attempted assault, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct.
[SIDEBAR: With all of the police aggression (<-that's putting it mildly) constantly going on in the city, New York is quickly gaining a reputation as a police state. Municipal leaders might not care about the city's residents, but maybe they'll take note that they're starting to scare the tourists...Great place to visit, huh?]
