1 week agoDay Around the Bay: SF Police Are Cracking Down on Scofflaw Cyclists
San Francisco police are intensifying enforcement against cyclists violating traffic laws, particularly in high-injury areas.
The violent arrest shocked bystanders, who said the NYPD cops completely overreacted to a low-level cycling offense. 'They were just fucking brutalizing the poor kid. Three cops to one person, the way they picked him up was crazy,' said Jesus, who works nearby and declined to share his last name. The heated incident comes as NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch has escalated enforcement against people on bikes and e-bikes this year by increasing low-level offenses to criminal summonses.
