Thought I would put last weeks arrest down on “paper” so I could put it behind me and forget about it.

7:15 am I was riding my bike to work on a busy bike lane route. Maybe 15 bikers in a pack. I ran a stop sign with a pack of others (maybe 7 bikers) and a cop jumped out and yelled at me and the other commuters to stop. The police officer was so close to me I moved/swerved out of the way at the last minute. The officer lerches at me and two hand pushes me into oncoming traffic - Right into another car , I slammed into it hitting the ground.

After getting my feet out of the straps. I popped up super fast , pinned against a car, stunned and wrist feeling fucked up. I lost it and started yelling. I was strait bugging out. So pissed and dazed I forgot this was a officer. And so did about 10 bikers who commute the same route to work every day and saw what went down.

The office was demanding I get on the ground. “Fuck that! I yelled, I just came from there”. And with that the officer called in some emergency code. Within 1min 5 cop cars pull up - sirens going off. A large crowd of bikers and onlookers had stopped as well. Strait hectic.

People yelling at the cops , owner of the car I was pushed into was crying…Saying the cop assaulted me. etc etc.

The other police made the crowd leave and yelled at me get on the ground -when I didnt. Three cops forced me to the ground and knees in the back of the neck, they handcuffed me and threw me into a car.

Spent the morning in a holding cell. Called my lawyer who know some influencial people in the Police department , spent another 30mins, then got released.

Charge is Assault with a deadly weapon!!!! The Weapon was my BIKE!!!

Long story short - threats where made to sue the City of Toronto Police Department and all charges where dropped.
Everything except the following tickets which I still have to go to court for.

How was your Monday?
