Police Brutality @ NYC Critical Mass
After 7 months of sitting at a desk job with the NYPD Patric Pogan has been fired. According to the New York Times:
"Mr. Pogan was accused last year of assault and of filing false paperwork related to the arrest of the cyclist and was suspended from the department. The Manhattan district attorney’s office dropped the charges — attempted assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct — against the cyclist, Christopher Long.
Mr. Browne (NYPD chief spokesman) said on Thursday that the firing stemmed directly from the events involving Mr. Long, which took place on July 25 during a monthly event known as Critical Mass, in which hundreds of cyclists ride through the city to advocate nonpolluting forms of transportation."
