Police stripped a New York City officer of his badge and gun pending an investigation after a video posted on YouTube showed him body-checking a bicyclist during the Critical Mass ride, a protest of reliance on motor vehicles.
The video shows officer Patrick Pogan, 23, standing in the street as bikes whiz past. He moves toward a cyclist and violently knocks him to the ground. The cyclist, who was not seriously hurt, was arrested and charged with attempted assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
