Think want you want rattler, but the cyclist never made the slightest attempt to avoid the collision and the right of way belongs to the pedestrian. Even if it is a cop.
As far as mmarsh question:
"And Secondly How long has this sort of thing been going on?"
Since we have had cops. This is just a poor 2 year old example. | Did you watch the Video? I am curious because it even states right at the beginning that its July 25 2008 -that's 7 months ago.
As for the cyclist making no attempt to avoid the collision? At exactly :24 sec its pretty damn clear the bike swerves toward the curb and the cop lunges at him in order to hit him
