This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 79%. (I'm a bot)

After reviewing the videotaped interaction between a bicyclist and a state trooper that occurred Tuesday on the Longfellow Bridge, it is clear that the trooper's statements regarding bike lanes and cyclists are wrong.

The Department will reiterate to those troopers on the bridge Tuesday our responsibilities to bicyclists, and will counsel the trooper who spoke to the cyclist about the proper way to respond to concerns raised by members of the public.

At points the trooper's tone teeters toward confrontation, such as when he asks why the cyclists didn't take the issue up with the trooper in the SUV.
