The thing I want to know is what happened to the second officer.  He 
didn't push the cyclist, but he was complicit in that he saw the whole
thing and then at the very least let the first officer arrest the 
cyclist.  If he didn't at least file a complaint about the pushing 
officer then he's just as much a part of the problem.

If he isn't also subject to similar investigation then there's something
definitely wrong.
