Raise the Hammer

Glad to see Pogan's football tackling skills are still coming in handy. :P

This is so retarded that even the conservative blogs are bashing this cop...

Wow.. take a look at the cop's report before the video surfaced: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/yea...

"... Deponent [cop] further states that upon instructing the defendant to cease the above-described conduct [riding in the middle of a lane], the defendant steered the defendant's bicycle in the direction of the deponent [cop] and drove defendant's bicycle directly into deponent [cop]'s body, causing deponent [cop] to fall to the ground and causing deponent [cop] to suffer lacerations on deponent [cop]'s forearms."

Talk about living in an alternate reality! How about: "Deponent rammed deponent's forearms into defendant's body, knocking defendant to the ground whereupon deponent got angry that defendant caused deponent's arms to hurt, so deponent used excessive force to illegally detain defendant and deponent lied on report to cover deponent's ass. Deponent now works at the desk, until deponent is found guilty of assault at which point deponent will no longer be employed by the police force."

Nice hit!

Bleh, that piece of crap with a badge needs to go to jail for physical assault and perjury.

Wow. Sounds like the screenplay for a made-for-TV movie! Just needs a little more fluff around the edges, and you've got a "winner"!

Seriously . . . third generation, same name as his father, performing a "service" which seems mostly dedicated to getting dear old daddy to love the football-player-turned-cop son . . . truth is often stranger than fiction.

This video was posted by an organization which has been in lawsuits filed by and against the city for some years now for their involvement in these "Critical Mass" events, which they deny they organize. They claim the videotape was sold to them by an "anonymous tourist" in a clandestine meeting after some mysterious person passed them a crumpled note with nothing more than a phone number on it, which they also apparently no longer have. They also contend this "anonymous tourist" wouldn't give them the original videotape, but only permitted them to copy this one small "clip".

I'm also skeptical of that alleged police deposition which appeared in The Smoking Gun. If that really is the police officer's actual deposition, then why isn't his signature on it? Anyone can type up a piece of paper, but it's not actually "sworn to" until it's signed.

By not liking critical mass -

I hope you're joking. If you really think there is some sort of backstory to this criminal beatdown, you are either living in a dreamworld, or you work for the NYPD. Most likely, both are true...

Christopher Long is an army veteran, organic farmer, and believer in what he thinks is right. What is Pogan? Most likely little more than a self-entitled 3rd generation POS NYPD punk from Long Island... just another piece of trash who will hopefully get body-slammed by the justice system.
