I am looking for witnesses. On two occassions I asked passerbys to stop and bear witness. One guy did, and filmed it.
well thanks mrB. i suppose. Yes. When riding downtown at night I am defensive. When cars block the bike lane, usually I take a deep breath. When our law enforcers block the lane (without lights or blinkers or any indicator of direction) I always stop. 10% of time they go haywire. This time, I tried humor with "I am issuing a ticket as a cyclist" with a dumb grin. whatever the reason the officer threatened and instigated, i started to hyperventilate, then he got physical ... w/out a clue to de-escalate. it's on tape unless he turned off the dashcam. he broke the law. twice, three times ??? in order to take me to jail.
When is a good time to offer criticism to cops? When i feel endangered? In front of the police cam? Or should I wait to offer advice that could protect my life, until after the fact. I know we have soooo many means/ways to communicate. I am sure there are better tactics than mine. mr w
Any witnesses to the scene which unfolded Tues night on Guadalupe and W Chavez. I was headed south bound toward the 1st street bridge. I was taunted, sneered at, thrown against the police car ... without any clear reason. I was detained for no reason. I had a warrant for a previous bike APD incident. Once discovered i was treated to even worse violence, nightmares and harassment. Spending the night in jail. I'd love to be on the wall with Shaun and Bernadette too. I wasn't under any influences, not intoxicated. The officer was sitting in the bikelane in the newer suvs cars. No blinker. I let him know politely. He went nuts.
