The things that we capture and upload...who knew that one of them will help bring justice to a person who was stripped of human rights in a rally in 2008?
The news from New York Daily News states:
"Victim in one of most popular YouTube "gotcha's" of 2008 sues NYPD for $1.5 million
The biker who was shoved by an NYPD officer during a "critical mass" rally last year, only to find a video of the incident uploaded to YouTube by a bystander, is now suing the NYPD for $1.5 million. Though the officer originally claimed that the biker had provoked the altercation during the rally, the video - which racked up over 2 million views - demonstrates otherwise."
The victim's lawyer was quoted as saying that "nobody would have cried foul if it wasn't for that video."
Here's the controversial video, which got 2 million views. 2 million views just can't be wrong, you know.
