32-year-old undercover cop Wojciech Braszczok was arrested and
charged with "gang assault" and "criminal mischief"

motorcyclist surrounded, taunted then beat up SUV driver, Alexian Lien,

In fleeing from the large group of motorcyclists, motorist Lien
accidentally hit three people in the convoy, running over one of the
men on a bike, 32-year-old audio engineer, Edwin Mieses, crushing his
spine. Mieses is now paralyzed, as Lien's Range Rover ran over the
lower portion of his body. Mieses' family wants Lien charged for this
conduct.

According to reports, undercover police officer Braszczok, was seen
on video repeatedly kicking the back door of Lien’s SUV, where the
driver’s 2-year-old daughter was located. Prosecutors are stating he
was an "active participant" in the gang assault on Lien.
Fellow police officers have questions his conduct, stating their
disapproval of his deeds. Braszczok's attorney states he is innocent.
The district attorney disagrees.

While the Judiciary Report is sorry anyone was injured in this incident,
at the end of the day, the motorcyclists should not have surrounded
anyone’s car, doing dangerous tricks and slowing down in front of the
vehicle, creating panic and fear in the Lien family. They were out of
line. Most people would find said conduct intimidating and fear for
their safety. To make matters worse, the vehicle had a toddler
present.

Think about it, if you were driving and an aggressive motorbike
convoy suddenly surrounded your vehicle, slowing down in front of you,
doing reckless stunts and refusing to depart from your space while
encasing you with your spouse and small child present, what would you
do? How would it make you feel?
