I was there, 2 riders ahead of the kid that got crushed in the video. There were barely 100 people in the ride and the 2 cops were standing there in the middle of the road completely silent. It was a totally peaceful, quiet by CM standards, ride that barely took a minute to get through each intersection. No one was harassing motorists. Tandem-riders were yelling "Happy Friday!" and getting cheers from people on the street. Then this happens. I was totally oblivious during the ride and actually only saw 2 scooter cops at the very beginning. I thought it was pretty tame and that no one even got pinched. Flip on the tele and whaddya know...

Rookie cop + ex-hs football star mentality + terrorist cyclist = "chance to show my coaches I can still hit like I did in high-school! Watch me drop my hips!!"
