Apart from illegal "demonstration" or violation of road traffic regulations ... that´s not a proportional reaction.

WTF?? I've no idea what the background of the story is, but that's just plain assault.

Don't get me wrong, it's totally sick. But since the cyclist is alive, it's kinda funny. I believe the cop claimed that the cyclist tried to hit him.

TSG Article
Quote:
Pogan claimed that Long drove his bicycle directly into him, knocking the cop to the ground and causing "lacerations on deponent's forearm." The video, of course, shows Pogan delivering a blow that would have made former Oakland Raider Jack Tatum proud. Pogan also claimed that Long resisted arrest and even exclaimed, "You are pawns in the game, I'm gonna have your job." The bicycle enthusiast's second statement may prove prophetic. (2 pages)

LG Viewty. Records @ 120 fps into 15 fps (no audio), so it seems to play back @ 1/8 normal speed. I sped it up to 30 fps, so it's smoother, but only 1/4 speed. Also @ res of only 320x240 and only in bright light. But hey, it's just a phone. 640x400 records @ 30 and is also quite good in poor light, although colours fade.
