NYPD's "Finest" Among Motorcycle Pack That Chased Down Family In SUV

NyPo reported on Monday:

A gang of bikers terrorized a dad driving with his wife and baby daughter on the West Side Highway — chasing after their SUV and then dragging the man out and beating him to a pulp in front of his horrified family, authorities said.

One of the thugs even posted a video of the sickening beatdown on YouTube (images at left) after filming the pursuit using a helmet-mounted camera Sunday.

The attack seemed to come out of nowhere, authorities said. Alexian Lien, 33, of Manhattan, was driving the family’s Range Rover north near West 125th Street in Harlem when the gang, known as Hollywood Stuntz, surrounded the SUV at around 1:30 p.m., according to officials.

A biker pulled in front of the car and slowed down, forcing Lien to stop — at which point, as seen on the gang’s video, the bikers stop and a confrontation ensues.

“They take their helmets and they start to dent his car, and apparently his tires are slashed with a knife,” Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said The attack seemed to come out of nowhere, authorities said.

“They take their helmets and they start to dent his car, and apparently his tires are slashed with a knife,” “He feared for his life and the lives of his wife and daughter,” a police source said.
The thugs chased him more than 50 blocks north, as seen on the 6-plus-minute video, which quickly went viral.

Lien was eventually forced to exit at West 178th Street in Washington Heights because his tires were so badly damaged, police said.Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Off the highway, “he is stopped again by a group of motorcyclists, he’s taken out of the car. He is assaulted,” Kelly said.

One biker can be seen on the video ripping off his helmet and using it to bash in Lien’s driver’s-side window.
The crew pummeled Lien on the pavement in front of his wife, Rosalyn Ng, and their 2-year-old daughter, police sources said.

Lien, who also was slashed during the melee, was rushed to Columbia University Medical Center. He needed stitches to his face and chest and had two black eyes.
Here's the shocking video:




NyPo reports today:
An off-duty undercover NYPD cop was among the pack of bikers who chased a family up the West Side Highway — and he stood by as the dad was hauled from his car and beaten, sources told The Post. 
The unidentified officer waited three days to come forward Wednesday night. He has been placed on modified duty and turned in his gun and badge on Friday, the sources said.
He rides with the New Rochelle-based Front Line Soldiers, a club that also counts several other cops among its members, a source said.
Internal Affairs is investigating whether those cops, too, were among the bikers — and whether they also witnessed the assault that left Internet exec Alexian Lien bleeding on the pavement as his wife and toddler cowered in their black Range Rover.
“It does not appear that he got involved at the scene,” one law-enforcement source said of the undercover, who has hired a lawyer. “He didn’t want to blow his cover,” said the source — though the cop was not investigating the group of bikers.

    2. Why WOULD you be shocked?
      The majority of cops are power-abusing fascists.
      They're basically no more than storm troopers for the state, and their lust for power and violence is not going to shut off once they get off duty.
      A lot of things are being said about the TSA, but their disgusting actions are more obvious because they are concentrated in one small area with many citizens.
      But cops really are no better. It just seems that way because they will fight actual criminals on occasion.

  2. They are Thugs With Badges. No wonder people hate cops.

    20 years ago people mourned when a cop was killed in the "line of duty", but now it is common for people to express indifference or wonder if he had it coming.

    When that kind of thinking can be expressed in "mixed" company (say among a group of friends, or at a family gathering) without raising too many eyebrows- or even finding support from the group- then you know that respect for the police is gone, and the military is close behind.

    It's sad- we used to trust and respect men (and women) in uniform...now it ranges from grudging tolerance to outright disdain, even among our "elders" and former cops/soldiers. Hell, ESPECIALLY from former cops and soldiers! They are among the most outspoken about the corruption and deviant behavior of their former peers!

    1. There are still plenty of badge lick "law and order" statists out there. Just read any comment thread on a Yahoo news story that has to deal with government thug abuse or read comments on a YouTube video, plenty of government thug defenders. Reading "The Rise of the Warrior Cop" by Radley Balko is prove that this has been building since the Nixon era and shows no signs of stopping. Lew Rockwell was right, government thug departments can't be reformed, they have to be abolished and replaced with free market solutions.
