NYPD officer gets dumped on with buckets of water. "Disrespect"

Buckets of water from on high is more tangible and potentially more harmful.  But
the ongoing pattern of disrespect without consequence from the lack of enforcement
against the irresponsible bike culture has a spillover effect.

The disrespect shown to an NYPD officer by unidentified assailants

tossing buckets of water is deplorable. However when a cyclist is able

to ride in a lawless fashion right by an NYPD officer or squad car with

impunity that sets up a pattern of disrespect without consequence.

With the mounting death toll of cyclists in New York City in 2019 and the

epidemic of rogue riding that has been going on for 20 years the

irresponsible bike culture has a spillover effect. It's time the city fathers

got a grip. Stop undermining the NYPD.  Allow cops to do their job.

Enforce the law in a sustained manner. Restore order to the streets and

sidewalks and respect for the NYPD.
