I think it only going to get worse...they now have a vendetta to destroy groups rides. Yeah, I think they, the police, suck, but egging them on won't help. We need to be organized. All the rides need to come together for one huge, massive, registered, as a parade/march, protest ride down to city hall and demand and explanation from our Mayor why the LAPD are being allowed to harass bicyclist.

Jbaches,
Good effort, but people just don't get it. They don't want to hear it. In one ear, out the other kind of thing, you know? Sorry to sound pessimistic, but people just have to learn the hard way, unfortunately.
Just keep riding and be responsible for yourself.

I don't mean to fan the flames here, but I saw that kid who got pulled off his bike swing at the cop. If he hadn't done that the cop would most likley not have called for back-up and less people would have been ticketed.
That guy went to jail for acting stupid. If he had stopped the first 4 times the cops told him to (i seen it, i heard it) then he wouldn't have been tackled and would have probably been given a warning instead of being charged with assault on a peace officer.

Last week on Wolfpack we had a police officer block an intersection and allow us to run a red light.
'fuck pigs' is the wrong attitude to have towards the cops. they are not all assholes and most are just trying to do their job. When you consider what the LAPD has to put up with on a daily basis, their attitudes become more understandable. We want the law on OUR side, we don't want a non-stop battle between us.

I think most get into it to help people. But then when you see what they do on a daily basis, you'd harden up too. Police officers are human beings, you can't put up with what they do and be a completely rational, peaceful and nice person100% of the time. It's just not possible. Give them a break they are really here for our own good.
And then people post shit on this website saying "fuck pigs" and well lets say the PD checks this website and sees that and now they have us all painted as cop-haters.
Answer hate with love, violence with peace, disrespect with respect.

wah wah wah wah wah.
why did they give out red light tickets?
is it because you ran a red light?
aren't cyclists supposed to act like an automobile?
if a pack of drivers were getting shit faced and driving around, running reds and swinging at cops, itd be the same story.
stop saying things like fuck cops without thinking.
quit being a bitch, learn how to ride a bike, then cops will stop fucking with you.

you make a valid point la duderina, but cops weren't created to help people. they serve the elite and protect their ideals, not ours. so their perspective is already jaded before they joining the force if they feel like they're going into law enforcement to help others.

Dude didn't take a swing at the cop...from what I saw and heard, they were just siting in the street to block the ride, which I am sure if your moving you do have a right to be on the street. Red light is one thing, but a group of bikes, since when is that illegal? Are they going to pull over ticket cars that are stuck/grouped in traffic, lots riders/drivers means traffic, it ain't against the law. Anyways, he was going to continue to ride, he did nothing wrong and the police didn't direct stop to anyone in particular, then jumped in front of his bike and tried to rip him off, when someone does that, you try to keep your balance, and yes, your arm may swing out at the guy...what would you expect if you jumped in front of moving vehicle...the police were overreacting and causing reckless endangerment of a civilian, many actually when they speed through a group of bikes and cut them off...yes, the situation wasn't perfect, but I'd start caring now cause before too long they will come down even harder!!!

Let me ask you this. Is it not a known fact that cops will allways lie in court to back up each other stories. it is against there own iner rules to incrimanate each other. if they do it is known that other cops will not back them up on the streets. plus if you grow up in the hood it is a known fact that if you try to argue your saide on the spot and dont let up. you know what you just got. assulting an officer. plus because they allways have back up there there is know 4 or 5 cops as witnesess for the alledeged incident. how many people do you know who have been shot and killed by cops?

cold cut your a tool of the elite your renegade attitude was formulated in closed door meetings, they formulated your personality to the point where you will get upset at oppression when you see it but apathy will creap into your mind because of the advanced behavior modification technology they have employed on the populace, the illuminati are after you they know what your thinking you need to put on the tinfoil hat,
really though ive never had problems with police other then getting traffic tickets that were obviously my fault speeding etc, and the occasional knock on the door to keep it down, if you think negatively about the police your more likely to get popped and if you do things that are illegal then you should consider the consequences of your actions, and when you get caught your not necessarily pissed at the cops you should be upset with yourself because your dumbass got caught

The bottomline is that last night I don't think I saw even one asshole on the peoples ride. Pretty much everyone held their lines, and the front ALWAYS stopped at reds. I was really impressed by all the kids on the ride who were having fun keeping it cool and who weren't drunk out of their minds. This was not crank mob unruly it was eastside chillin dtla chillin just flowing around town.
This issue here is that the cops need to deal with us as a parade because that's what we are.
We've been through this with LAPD before and the officer I talked to.. wish I got his name.... told us to stay in one group and that the front has to stop at reds. things were working out great last night until the cops started driving dangerously into the mass like fuckin dicks.

but see that is the point i'm trying to make. some cops, like the one you talked to was cool. some are assholes. who started to drive into the crowd.
don't generalize people based on anything. not on creed, sex, religion, work, if their left handed or right handed, if they ride fixie, single or gears.
well you can discriminate against fixie riders :D

Staging a parade or a protest requires special city permits, which cost money and have to be applied for in advance of the event. I would say it's a better idea to position group rides as citizens using public streets.
That does rule out legally blocking streets/running reds, however.
angle03.28.09 - 5:31 pm

I remember there is a clause somewhere that states you can run a red only if not running it will endanger you.
meaning that if you stop someone will crash into you.

Well staging a parade does sometimes require a permit, BUT assembly and whether it needs a permit is a debate not settled.

I believe that an assembly is different than a parade, but I do know that NYC attempted to deal with Critical Mass by changing their parade law so that an assembly of more than 50 people required a parade permit.
IMO, it's a lot simpler to maintain that cyclists have a right to use public streets as citizens (which, of course, they do).

Without cops, there's always going to be bullies picking off those who are unable to fend for themselves.

Yeah, I saw that report when I was turnin' and burnin' at the gym just now.
If anything, the cop should've at least rescinded after learning of the circumstances.
Hopefully, this will actually be seen as an actual case of abnormal aggression against a harmless group of people.
Now as far as anger itself goes, you're never going to make it go away, nor classify it as mental illness.
If anything, there should be different standards developed for testing the cool-headedness of LEO's.
A test developed by a bunch of upper-class, sheltered-environment eggheads will do nothing but let more shit slip through the cracks.

Let's all just sum it up and say that the police are afraid, afraid of coming to terms that the end of the car-culture is happening all around them.
They do not know how to handle it and everything is coming at them faster than adrenaline rushing through their bloodstream during hot-pursuit.
But, sooner or later, they'll cozy up to this and get back to the matters at hand.

I live next to a main road where the speed limit is 55, but is used as a nightly drag-strip.
Also, many of these guys don't even know, or care about what cruise control is and seemingly gun the throttle when going past houses.
Ridazz riding through the 2nd Street tunnel at 2AM is a welcoming sound after having to deal with the Fast and Furious wannabes trying to beat each other for pink-slips every night.
I don't know, some noise could be music to ones ears, while others would drive them over the cliff.
