In 2008, I was run over from behind by an MTA bus driver going south on 21st st in Astoria while on my bicycle. Broad daylight, normal conditions, I had totally un-missable neon reflective gear on. This was a block and a half past a bus stop where the driver had previously been stopped. As I was stuck, run over, with myself and my bike stuck in the front right wheelwell, the driver opened the door and spent all of his time kicking me until I could pull the bike free, rather than help. Then he closed the door and drove away. I sat on the sidewalk and calmly collected myself and my busted bike and called the non-emergency line for the 114th Precinct. Here's what the cop answering the phone told me: "Hey jackass, do you actually think we're going to file a report against a city employee? click" That's why I don't talk to the NYPD.
