A New York Critical Mass cyclist was charged with assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest on last Friday evening before being held in custody for 26 hours. 

The problem for the police officer, Patrick Pogan, who made the arrest and on whose evidence cyclist Christopher Long was charged, is that someone had videoed the incident in question.

This cop filed a criminal complaint stating the cyclist attacked him with his bicycle!  nice try asshole.  give up your badge and get off the streets.
