Video: NYPD runs over OWS legal observer’s leg, just leaves vehicle on top of the guy

UPDATE: They didn't do this not to one of the protesters, but to a legal observer who was there with a colleague who witnessed the entire thing.  A NY Daily News photographer confirms that the police motorcycle did hit the man, but NYPD claims the man's leg wasn't run over.  And while the NY Daily News photographer also claims that the leg wasn't run over, it all depends on what vantage point he had - and in any case, now the NYPD's defense is that "yeah we ran the guy over on purpose but we didn't land on his leg?"

I saw some video earlier today about this, but couldn't understand what I was seeing.  This is new video. It's pretty obvious.  The cop ran the guy over on purpose, then appears to have left his motorcycle on top of the guy's leg while his buddies came up and then they arrested the guy, screaming in agony.

It's kind of amazing, but in the past two weeks the NYPD has destroyed much of the goodwill they built up nationwide and worldwide following the unfortunate events of 2001.  This is not the stuff of heroes.  These videos are abominable.  They're third world.  And they're embarrassing.  What the hell kind of city is Mayor Bloomberg running up there?
