Officer Pogan saw Long commit a crime and moved to intercept him. Long tried to go around the officer and thus resisted arrest. That’s my interpretation anyway.

If you try to outrun or out maneuver the cops after committing some infraction, there’s a good chance you’re going to get your a** beaten. But dumb criminals always seem to insist on a firsthand demonstration.

I don’t even think the hit was particularly vicious, just enough to get the job done. I see dozens of better hits every Sunday during football season.

Uh, not according to Officer Pogan.

Pogan put himself on an intercept course. The bikers were swerving far and clear of the two officers.

As a private individual, I would have lauded him knocking one of these idiot critical masser's d*cks in the dirt. As a uniformed officer, I expect more self control or find yourself a different job...

________

And what crime did Pogan see Long commit, that was somehow left out of the criminal complaint? You might have had an argument except for the fact that the linked article reproduces said criminal complaint, and it has nothing about a prior crime having been committed.

Nice try, though.
