Love that you can look at cambridge PD reports and see that pedestrians are sent to the hospital almost on a daily basis after getting hit by cars, yet this is somehow some major scandal. typical.

It's in the news because it's unusual, and it's a deliberate assault. Nothing surprising or nefarious about that.

It’s probably also because Cambridge cops hate the people they’re supposed to serve as noted on Facebook and just by generally being a human being with functioning eyeballs

Don't know if it's so much a major scandal as much as it is a crime that's been committed.

Exactly. I'm not condoning the behavior of the bicyclist -- we should all be careful to not hurt anyone else if we're biking or driving -- but cars are a much more significant threat to the safety of cyclists and pedestrians yet cars get away with so much dangerous behavior without cops batting an eye.

Exactly! Pedestrians need to get out of the way when the Sainted Cyclists come. Nothing and noone else matter. Except the Doordash guys dropping off your small coffees.

Not hurt, just annoyed by smug self-satisfaction in all its forms.
