Comment on Four NYPD officers converged on one woman on a bike because she smiled at them, then detained her because she wasn't carrying ID.

I’m a little confused. Lots of words before it seems like she was pulled over because she didn’t get out of the way of the police when they put their sirens on. Impossible to know whether she made a mistake or not. Still probably a massive overreaction by the police. Obviously traumatic for the young woman but her narrative seems melodramatic. Yes, you’re in the bike lane but you can still move over. It does seem dystopia that you can be arrested for not having ID for such a small offense.
