Santa Pictures + Marketing for your BusinessNYPD cop demonstrates why cops do not want to be filmed or photographed
A New York City police officer who claims he was assaulted by a bicyclist was stripped of his badge and gun after an anonymous video proved otherwise, according to the New York Post.
Patrick Pogan, 22, a rookie cop and son of a highly respected NYPD detective, accused Christopher Long of trying to use his bike as a weapon in trying to mow him down during a critical mass bike ride in New York City last week
(On a side note: one of the Miami cops who arrested me testified that he feared I was going to use my cameras as weapons).
Long, a 29-year-old New Jersey man, spent 26 hours in jail on charges of attempted assault in the third degree, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest
But the video shows that it was Pogan who assaulted Long.
In fact, Long tried to swerve away from Pogan as the officer lunged towards him, knocking him off his bicycle and sending Long flying into the curb. Check out the video below.

Alright now this is FINALLY a case where the Internal Affairs actually punishes the cop who did the deed. indeed how could they do otherwise with that damning evidence. Shame on the cop guy. I don’t know why he did it but shame on him anyway.
That was ridiculous! I hope he got fired.
NYPD rocks!!!
Helen, Fuck you bitch.
Why would he do that? Seriously it makes no sense.
Look Matt, this ain’t rocket science pal. I’ve looked at that video a dozen times and EVERY time I look at it I see a cop assault a bicyclist. Now, when you look at it maybe you see a bicyclist assault a cop. Is that the case? If so, maybe Carlos could set up a poll here to see just how many participants see that bibyclist assault that cop or vice versa.
My bad there Matt!! I misread your post. You’re right, just WHY IN HELL would he do that and no, it does not make any sense. (I swear I’m going blind in my old age!)
[...] NYPD cop demonstrates why cops do not want to be filmed or photographed [...]
FYI: This cop was eventually fired, but was acquitted of assault:
