If they wanted to draw attention to the goal of having urban planning that doesn't focus first and foremost around the use of the automobile in an acceptable manner, I would be right there with them, but ignoring the laws of traffic, deliberately causing congestion (what's the environmental impact of forcing all those cars to needlessly idle, I wonder?), and assaulting drivers and damaging their vehicles is absolutely not an appropriate way to get their message heard.

So yes, the NYPD officer in the video is a jerk-off who deserves his sentence, but I have to admit I smiled when he sent that self-righteous prick flying.

You take geat delight watching someone get hurt?
