Citizen Scandal: Cop Loses Badge For Pushing Bicyclist

The police officer taped pushing a Critical Mass demonstrator off his bike in downtown NY last Friday (it happens at 0:24) has been stripped of his badge and given desk duty while the incident is investigated. The bicyclist is still charged with attempted assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, but one assumes the charges will be dropped. No one wants to give bicycle demonstrators their own Rodney King, right?
