Why in the world would you send it back to the police so they can hide behind the blue wall? They have had chances to police themselves, but corruption is very powerful. To combat that you put it out to the public. For those that don't see any abuse are just a bunch of facists, this is America, not Iran or China.

NYPD, too little too late. We don't need your help. Youtube is working just fine, but thanks for the generous offer. ROFL

I think that cop missed his true calling in the NFL. SACKKKKKKED

sorry, I don't see any police brutality there.

In NYC, what happens when a pedestrian tries to walk across a street and a car tries to cut you off?!?!

I saw the same thing, the cyclist tries to cut off a pedestrian and the pedestrian is simply tries to shuff him off.

Yes, the pedestrian happens to be a policeman, but so what, the cyclists are riding ruthlessly...did you think those group stopped for red light?

Sorry, I don't see any intelligence in the above post.

Moron.

The only MORONS here are the moronic Critical Mass cyclist activists who think they can take over the streets and do what they like. In San Francisco these terrorists routinely wreak havoc on the streets, including blocking motorists access at intersections, (I have experienced this first hand, and believe me I wanted to push the little punk right off his bike) and nobody does anything to stop them.

If you have not been directly exposed to this you are probably just IGNORANT, so you can be forgiven you for your comment.

um.. maybe you should watch the video again then cause that cop lines that biker up long before he hits him and actually moves very quickly at the very end to make sure he lands a nice hard shoulder check into the biker. The biker actually moved to avoid the officer by turning to his left a bit.. did you even watch the video or the slowmo at the end?

the only true MORON or IGNORANT person here is the one who refers to a cyclist as a terrorist.

Unless you can in some way justify the behavior of these people, you obviously don't have a clue what you're talking about.

What was moronic was the comment by copenhaus: "I don't see any police brutality there." when the video shows the cop blatantly accelerate his step to strike out at the cyclist with intent, while pretending (badly) that it was just a collision.

The rights and wrongs of these protests are irrelevent to my comment, and if you don't understand the logic of that imafurby, you're a moron too.

You, like most of the outraged people here obviously believe everything you see on a crappy you tube video without researching the facts. Read what I said about the San Francisco "Critical Mass", who terrorize motorists and then get back to me about who is the moron here. If you were impeded from legally going about your daily business by some jerk on a bike who thinks he's above the law, you'd probably want to knock him off his bike too. The cop should be congratulated actually, but the politically correct fools who dictate everything we say and do these days have fired him for doing his job.

You need to unclench. A bike ride is nice way to relax, unless you get run off the road, or have garbage thrown at you. Everyone is somebody's jerk.

Thank you for your inane contribution. I'm done with this topic.

SO the police are trying to censor the truth as seen by us now?

Youtube has never been so great in that case. Upload away!

My phone can capture clips up to 4 hours, its a 6500 Slide
anyway that vid is messed, damn police think they can do anythin

"In 2007, a video of an off-duty Chicago police officer drunkenly beating a female bartender faced 14 counts of aggravated battery, official misconduct, intimidation, communicating with a witness, and conspiracy."

The video is facing charges? BetaNews needs QA procedures.

I hope people will also post to places like YouTube and just not to the NYPD department.

Upload them to the NYPD? Why so they can conveniently ignore and cover up whatever concern that video may represent?

Screw off.

Be careful about what you upload. Many formats have areas in the bitstream or ancillary data (which may be present in the same file) that includes things like device manufacturer, model number, serial number, etc. I don't know what cell-phones may include.

Of course even a serial numbers are not necessarily traceable to you if they don't have your camera (with a cell phone, this may be different if the IMEI number is stored). But if you happen to be an insider (e.g. law enforcement officer) and you're using official equipment at least transcode the file before uploading it to this website to protect yourself.

This will result in much laughter as the NYPD mandatory reviews remixes of people breaking things to the hampster dance song.

Can the iPhone take videos yet or is that planned for v3?

Would be interested what's the budget for this system while the city is whining about costs and one already hears the usual rhetoric about laying off officers etc...

Yeah no thanks NYPD, power to the people.

Cell phone video capture quality is very poor. Also, it is almost always caped at 30 seconds. 30 seconds does not lend itself well to faithfully capturing events such as the one mentioned in the article.

Yeah we need background interviews with the street cleaners.

Cop was fired almost immediately after the video. So much for your 30 seconds theory.

Most camera phones only record a max of 30 seconds. This video captured was most likely not done using a camera phone

How about they upload to both? The public deserves to see it, because without public outcry for justice minimal action is usually taken.
