Recently, at a Critical Mass ride in NYC, Officer Patrick Pogan tackled a cyclist (Christopher Long). The officer is using the Uncle Jimbo defense, but you can clearly see the cyclist steering around the officer...
The Officer is behind a desk until this gets cleared up. If he keeps his job, I hope he's required to do some sort of cycling related community service (teaching kids the rules of the road, riding captain for a blind stoker, etc).
I've gone through kidney failure twice. The first time in 2000, my mother donated a kidney; and again in 2008, I'm on dialysis waiting for a breakthrough in immuno-suppression medicines before seeking a new kidney.
