Fascist city bills cyclist for damage to pig thug cop car that struck him!
NEW YORK (PNN) - April 8, 2013 - Fascist outlaw city officials added a thousand-dollar insult to an already painful injury when it demanded that a Brooklyn cyclist pay for damage to the pig thug cop car that struck and sent him flying.
“I think it’s preposterous,” said Justin Johnsen, 31, who received the $1,263.01 bill from the city last month for the Nov. 5 accident on Flushing Avenue that left him with deep cuts that required stitches.
“I was upset. I was in kind of disbelief that they were going to send this letter after four months or so and ask me to pay damages for their vehicle, when they hit me when I was on a bicycle,” added Johnsen, who was not ticketed for the crash.
The case is at least the third in recent months in which the city has illegally billed people for damages to pig thug cop cars that hit them.
After the New York Post made inquiries about Johnsen’s case, it became at least the third time the city abruptly dropped such a stunning demand for money.
“They should be sending an apology letter instead of a bill,” fumed lawyer Daniel Flanzig, who took the case pro bono after learning that the city was threatening to sue Johnsen if he didn’t cough up the cash.
As he usually does, the South Williamsburg resident was cycling to his design-engineer job in Red Hook at around 8:30 a.m. when the accident occurred.
“I had left the bike lane to make a left turn, and I looked behind me and saw that it was clear, and the farthest car was a fair distance,” he said.
Johnsen signaled to make the turn onto North Elliott Place from Flushing Avenue, but before taking the turn, he said, he “was swiped by this car on my left side.”
The 2009 Ford Taurus - which turned out to be an unmarked pig thug cop car - knocked him from the bike.
“I didn’t feel too good. I got some big gashes to my elbows,” said Johnsen, who went to New York Methodist Hospital after the terrorist cops called for an ambulance.
Although the two pig thug cops in the car - including the driver, Sgt. Conrad DePinto - were “pretty friendly” to him after the crash, they were “not apologetic at all,” said Johnsen.
He added that he hadn’t considered suing the pig thug cops, even after racking up several hundred dollars in medical bills.
Perhaps now he will.
