Critical Mass arrested

Critical Mass arrested



Report from the August, 2007 Ride:

Great ride except for Chicago's finest who decided that we would not be allowed on various streets. Officer Nemcovic who shadowed the ride quickly made the first arrest, repeatedly hassled riders along the way, then ultimately continued his arresting rampage at Canal and Roosevelt. No one was going to be allowed to go east towards the Lakefront, those who insisted on their constitutional rights were quickly subdued and tie-wrapped before being shoved into the paddy wagon. We need to get some media attention to this incident. So much for Mayor Daley's promoting cycling! Time to mass up to the media. Those hassled or arrested should contact me at fotunateone@yahoo.com so we can get the word out. Photos from the ride, including the ensuing arrests can be viewed here: http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/cmraseye/Critical%20Mass%20arrested/
