anyone know the story behind this yet?

Whatever reason the cyclist was targeted, a show of force like that was dangerous to not only the cyclist (most of all), but to the cop himself and the people standing by watching. If that kid on the bike took a skull-dive onto a curb or light pole as a result of being ejected off his bike by a fatass cop, it could've easily killed him.

Totally undue force. I hope that cop loses his badge and gets his ass sued.

This fucking city
Is run by pigs
They take the rights away
From all the kids

Understand
Were fighting a war we cant win
They hate us-we hate them
We cant win-no way

Walk down the street
I flip them off
They hit me across the head
With a billy club

Understand
Were fighting a war
We cant win
They hate us-we hate them
We cant win-no way

Nothing I do, nothing I say
I tell them to go get fucked
They put me away

Understand
Were fighting a war
We cant win
They hate us-we hate them
We cant win-no way

I go to court,
For my crime,
Stand in line pay bail,
I may serve time
Understand
Were fighting a war
We cant win
They hate us-we hate them
We cant win-no way

None taken. I'll just consider us even for all the injustices poster printers have perpetrated against me over the years.

Just for the record, I (unlike nyc's finest) was never a football star. Just marching band for me thank you.

And, luckily, I got out of my uniform long ago.
