There’s been a lot of chatter this weekend about an incident that happened at Friday’s Critical Mass ride.

The Stranger blog writes:
“As I turned the corner, one beefy white guy got out of the van and ran after a guy sitting on a bike (he was not corking at that point). He was in the process of getting ready to ride off at the time. When the guy from the van ran after him, it happened really fast. he caught the bike rider and threw him to the ground.”

From witness accounts, it sounds like three plainclothes cops got out of an unmarked car and started thrashing on a cyclist before identifying themselves as cops. I’d sure like to hear the other side of the story, because the talk on some of the local forums sure doesn’t make it sound pretty.
