Comments on: Man “Tasered” and Arrested for Leaving Airport by Bike http://www.streetsblog.org/2007/06/13/man-tasered-and-arrested-for-leaving-airport-by-bike/ Covering the New York City Streets Renaissance Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:07:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Gene T http://www.streetsblog.org/2007/06/13/man-tasered-and-arrested-for-leaving-airport-by-bike/comment-page-1/#comment-32721 Gene T Sun, 17 Jun 2007 05:31:14 +0000 http://www.streetsblog.org/2007/06/13/man-tasered-and-arrested-for-leaving-airport-by-bike/#comment-32721 I think bicyclists will eventually find that they must engage in civil disobedience to regain certain rights to the road. Orsak's response is far from civil disobedience but it prompts me to think that organised, active resistance of unjust bicycle rules and attitudes is overdue. Do the police nowdays taser those engaged in civil disobedience? Have tasers replaced the police dogs and whips that used to be used against those who insist on their rights and the repeal of unjust laws?

I've definitely heard of cops like Officer Wingate, and I'm not too surprised. But the fact that Sergeant Karsnia and other superior officers chose to stand behind Wingate instead of apologizing to Orsak, dismissing the case and disciplining the abusive cop is disgraceful.
