City Council Members Urge Probe into NYPD Harassment of Cyclists - Gothamist_ New York City News, Food, Arts & Events

Twelve city council members are calling on Manhattan District
Attorney Robert M Morgenthau to drop the charges against
Christopher Long, the cyclist who was seen being
bodyslammed to the curb by a rookie cop in a videotape of a
Critical Mass ride on July 25th. The council members – who
include Rosie Mendez, Letitia James, and Alan Gerson but
not mayoral hopeful Christine Quinn – are also demanding
that Morgenthau open a wider investigation into NYPD
policies toward cyclists, specifically during Critical Mass rides.
