=v= Today the New York City police filed a request for an
injunction to stop this Friday's Critical Mass ride. Documents
uploaded to this list's files and to the NYC Indymedia site:

=v= This was in part a response to a previous request for an
injunction to stop the police from cutting locks and seizing
bikes, which they have done during the last two Critical Mass
rides in New York City.

=v= My personal take on this is that the requests are full of
lies. The August Critical Mass was huge because it was a few
days before the Republican National Convention. They NYPD made
indiscriminate mass arrests and are now attacking the ride to
make it seem as if they had a nonpolitical reason to.

=v= The ride sizes in the timeline they depict is inaccurate, as
are the claims about impact on traffic and emergency vehicles.
