Another Victory for Social Media

by Prashant Kaw on December 16, 2008

A happy ending to an extreme case of misconduct by a NYPD police officer who shoved a harmless bicyclist off his moving bicycle during Critical Mass. Unluckily for the officer the entire incident was caught on camera and uploaded to YouTube which spread virally over the internet.

The YouTube footage below was used to indict the officer for falsifying records that the cyclist attacked him first.  It seems the cop may also be charged with misdemeanour assult.  You can view the entire 12 minute video on blip.tv.  Hooray for another victory for social media!
