Not especially surprising that #OPD would not take seriously a series of 14 deliberate attacks on #cyclists within a matter of hours, but nevertheless important to point out this response is not OK: “… #Bicyclist Ellie Mead suffered a serious head injury and was allegedly not allowed by #police to have a case opened for her and instead to ‘call back later,’ according to #EastBayBikeParty.”

@ATCL Typical anti-cycling reporting. KTVU won't mention the full plate even though it on the YT title!

Attempted Dooring 8EDX427

@ATCL these people should be convicted of attempted murder. wtf
@ATCL That's disgusting, but why is the article calling it "dooring?" "Dooring" happens when inattentive people open the doors of their parked cars into the path of an oncoming cyclist. Dooring is a serious failure of road design and, secondarily, training for car users. It kills people, but it's not purposeful. That video shows a deliberate attack.
@pentastich Yeah, I don’t know if that was the reporter’s misunderstanding or if other people described it to them as dooring, but to me that means something different and accidental.
