A 64 yr old bicyclist is suing a San Diego police officer who roughly arrested him for bicycling through a stop sign (a T intersection, with a crosswalk) resulting in a sprained forearm and a neck contusion


Goodsell alleges the officer choked him while handcuffing him. “I thought he was going to rip both of my arms off, and he put the handcuffs on tight enough to injure both of my wrists,” Goodsell said.

The police report is a polar opposite take on the event, for this handcuffing and arrest for ignoring a stop sign, and not having a drivers license... keep that in mind. Those are the offenses the cop was handcuffing this guy for... while driving a cop car that states on the fender "to protect and serve" in "America's Finest City". The police report says that the bicyclist was enraged, throwing his bike across a road, and acting "5150" aka crazy or drug influenced.

So, someone is lying their ass off, and since the old bicyclist isn't a roid rager, and cops are... and SDPD has already been found to have cops on the beat that rape the homeless and roid rage on ambulance crew in a 7-11  it's pretty easy to see that without video, or witness statements, the police lose the confidence vote because they aren't honestly decent.

The bicyclist "filed a claim" which the police "denied" and now has filed a lawsuit so a judge can decide on the matter of false arrest and excessive force.

  1. Since when are you required to have a driver's license to ride a goddamn bike?

    1. In the USA we no longer have the freedom, and liberty, to wander about. We now are subject to the results of terrorism, the fucking terrorists won. We now must carry our "papers" and the cops are allowed to stop and frisk, and if you piss them off and make them put down the donut, there will be handcuffs and jail bars.
      You might not believe me, but things aren't like the good old days.

      just one example of the gestapo result of the terrorists?
      he “border zone,” is defined by the Justice Department as the area up to a hundred air miles from any US land or coastal boundary. It encompasses all of Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Rhode Island.

      Within the border zone, Congress has granted CBP powers far beyond those of other law enforcement agencies. CBP, US Customs and Border Protection, has the authority to set up checkpoints almost anywhere within the hundred-mile zone, and to search and detain people without a warrant as long as they feel they have “probable cause” to suspect that someone is in the country illegally or smuggling contraband.

      Within twenty-five miles of any border, Border Patrol agents have even more expansive powers; they can enter private land without a warrant or the owner’s permission.
