Critical Mass bicyclist knocked over by NYPD

It looks like the copper has decided to walk to the kerb, misjudged the speed of the oncoming cyclist, then decided he still deserves to cross in front of the cyclist, who has already committed quite sensibly to passing the copper on left, and the copper's violent uptight bastard instincts have kicked in.

I see it slightly differently, I think the copper had every intention of checking a cyclist, he's watching the oncoming traffic at all times and even takes a couple of paces to get some weight behind him.

Having said that I'm not anti-Police by any means, it's just some of them are jobsworth, violent, chinless cunts.
