Sad Sad Nicholas Dlamini was supposed to start season with Tour Down Under and prepare for Tokyo olympics, but now the whole first half of the year is under a question mark. Not sure why those rangers had to use such force ...

I mean, there's a chance that he (cyclist) was not as cooperative as one (who has been stopped by police) should be. You are just asking for trouble in such case.

Unpaid ticket and professional cyclist. There is no reason to be this aggressive. Anyway, unnecessary police force is a slippery slope subject here and I will not go further with it. I simply wish him quick recovery.
