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.
