[*BCM*] That motorcycle cop on today's ride

[d karl critz]

The globe's coverage of the police in general and the ride in specific
has been shoddy. (links below) I wasn't on the ride this morning, so
I don't feel I have a right to write a letter and correct the Globe on
its reporting.  If you were there, perhaps you should.

* The Globe's coverage of this morning's critical mass does not
mention the motorcycle cop.

It's also a bit condescending, saying "It wasn't immediately clear what
the group was protesting."

* This article mentions only that there were "no arrests":

Furthermore, yesterday there was an article in today's globe talking
about how mellow and friendly the boston cops have been with activists.
