the video looks pretty bad, but think about it, if you were a cop and trying to track someone down who's on a bicycle, how would you make that arrest (especially how it's likely that the cyclist in this case may try to flee)? i'm not saying that what the cop did is right, but just something to think about. what's more frightening to me is how polarized the opinions of the different forums are (road, cop, ssfg). never realized that tensions were so high.
