This annual ride is HUGE, and they take multiple routes toward Times Square. One of the 911 calls said 150 or so just where he was, and I think that was one of the police officer's calls for back up. Good Morning America has a clip on the internet that I can't find again where they played several of the calls two of which were from police officers.
Also, this is 5 NYPD officers out of the 34,500 uniformed officers in the NYPD though 5 is for too many - there shouldn't be a single one, and all 5 should be fired or worse. The only acceptable reason to be in it is on duty under cover to try getting film footage or something to find out who the were to get at them afterward. The hardest part about catching these guys is that a motorcycle can not only blow by any car but they have no qualms about using sidewalks, narrow alleys or rough terrain where cars can't go to escape.
