NYC cop involved / arrested over SUV-biker melee

[jeff of pa]

An undercover police detective participating in a motorcycle rally that turned violent pounded on the rear window of an SUV while others attacked the driver through his window, according to a criminal complaint Wednesday charging him with gang assault. Wojciech Braszczok was an "active participant" in the attack on Alexian Lien's car two weeks ago following a chase up Manhattan's West Side Highway, prosecutors said. He did nothing to stop it, didn't report it to his superiors for two days, and then when did, he lied about it, changing his story to say he saw the attack but didn't participate, said Assistant District Attorney Samantha Turino.

As it should be, the video showed a mob. A dangerous one. I didn't see any independent, rational thought going on. Looks like the best way to instill humanity in that group is for many of them to face jail time!

the cop's lawyer says that the window his client pounded on was already broken so he's innocent?? HELLO! I'm not surprised seeing a NYC cop with a gang mentality.

misdemeanor charge seems odd to me.
I always thought assault would carry something stronger then misdemeanor.

Share the road. I saw a motorcyclist slow down on purpose to control the car. He was in effect driving the car and his bike too. That never works out good for anyone. One statement said the car drove into the middle of the group, that is a crime? Its called share the road. The kids were in the back seat, and the officer was beating the back window, there is no defense for this. Unfortunately everyone thought they were right at the time. I think we need cut some slack for the officer, but he needs to address putting a kid in danger. If I were in the same situation, I dont know how I would react. Police are people too, and they make mistakes. Lets hope some good comes of this. Being a professional driver for over ten years, I have seen many things that made no sense. Being almost a 100' feet long, and 8'feet wide I was a target for motorist. Even other big trucks scared me in the end, I no longer drive unless I have too. I have been on both sides of the road rage, and what we need is more rest areas, wider lanes, faster and more lanes, and regulation to stop. Our roads and highways are killing zones, especially during construction. As we get more and more frustrated we are feeding on each other, people just need to learn to chill. Ill end on the word gang, that was not bikers, that was a gang. They have their own rules and as you can see, they have no respect for our laws.
