| NYPD Warming Up - Arrest 250 Idjits On Bikes |
| 2004-08-28 |
Cops Arrest Bicycle Protestors Thousands Participated In Manhattan Bike Ride Aug 27, 2004 10:50 pm US/Eastern NEW YORK (AP) Nearly 250 bicyclists were arrested during a mass protest that passed Madison Square Garden Friday night, the first major police crackdown on demonstrators just days before a wave of activists were expected to descend for the Republican National Convention. The cyclists had snaked through Manhattan for the monthly Critical Mass ride. But what was usually a crowd of hundreds swelled to thousands Friday, with organizers saying the excursion drew a horde of bikers who wanted to protest the convention. NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said the cyclists had caused "massive disruptions" and endangered motorists trying to drive through the city. He said about 250 cyclists had been arrested, including one for throwing a beer can at an officer. The officer was uninjured. "We gave them every opportunity to comply with the law," Browne said. "Those who didn't were arrested." ...more... What we have here is a serious IQ deficit - Strother Martin (not). |

| #25 Hey, we need idiots like A6198 every once in a while to remind us what's at stake in this election. Stay on target! |

| #24 Very mature, A6198. I'm sure you'll be the one in charge of raping the dogs and babies. Provided you could get it up. |

| #22 That should be, "Police horses are very well trained and , unfortunately in this case, are unlikely to kick". Dopey me. Must be the tequila. |

| #21 Unfortunately, Police horses are very well trained and extremely unlikely to kick someone. Probably won't bite, either. A horse bite is a very wicked bite. |

| #17 That should have been, "it worked at Woodstock." I was a little young to have been working at Woodstock. |

| #15 CF is right - the MSM will cover for these worthless little turds. Too bad we can't bet CSPAN rebroadcast over and over - they'll cover it all. |

| #14 Dont forget horses have some very good 'defenses' themselves. Getting emergency (but much needed IMO) brain surgery by the hoof of an enraged horse probably isn't very fun. Then of course there is the fully trained and armed NYC police officer who would not take it kindly either. Frank, somehow I dont think the MSM would broadcast a LLL maining a horse -- they will most likely protect the mainer and blame the police. |

| #13 ...argued with motorists during the Friday night ride, Oh, good. Piss off the commuters on their rides home. That'll win lot's of local support. But they ride bicycles and are anti-Republican, so they know soooooooooooo much more then me... |

| #5 first maiming of a horse (marbles, etc.) should be televised long and widespread. Any little sympathy these asshats could've garnered will be lost, and the crackdown will begin in earnest... batons ready! |

| #4 Now these little turds have things to maim the horses. |

| #3 You forgot to mention the urine soaked sneakers and hastily evacuated piles of dung abandoned by the scurrying cockroaches. |

| #2 The NYPD mounted police should be equipped with fur hats and sabers, so they can ride down the blackshirt masses Cossack-style. Something very like this actually happened in LA during some anti-globalization riots a couple of years ago. A pack of masked anarchists was screaming and capering and throwing rocks like the baboons they are, when an LA mounted patrol simply charged them at full gallop. The assembled mumia-cong fled in all directions, leaving evian bottles, backpacks, and even birkenstocks abandoned on the ground. |

| #1 All yours bikes are belong to us. The NYPD is ready. Driving home this evening on the West Side Highway, I saw the Fuji blimp flying fairly low over the Hudson River. When it was just overhead I got a close look at the blimp and it said "NYPD" in large letters below the Fuji logo. |
