The Gang of New York

"We picked him up and we carried him while he squirmed and screamed," the officer, Matthew Wohl, testified in December. "I had one of his legs because he was kicking and refusing to walk on his own."

During a recess, the defense had brought new information to the prosecutor. A videotape shot by a documentary filmmaker showed Mr. Kyne agitated but plainly walking under his own power down the library steps, contradicting the vivid account of Officer Wohl, who was nowhere to be seen in the pictures. Nor was the officer seen taking part in the arrests of four other people at the library against whom he signed complaints.

Unfortunately, in Bloomberg's New York there's probably little chance that this corrupt cop will get stripped of his badge and prosecuted for perjury, as he so strongly deserves, but at least Mr. Kyne got off with being detained for a few days in harsh conditions and, presumably, a whopping lawyer's bill.
