Can you?

No, if you fall off the rollers, your wheels just stop. Bicycle wheels don't have anywhere near enough mass for their momentum alone to move your body.

Yes, I am prejudiced when cops are involved. Where's my $1000?

Fetus is life, but contained within another life. Therefore, container's life takes precedence.

Actually, the gyroscopic effect (specifically precession) has more to do with making the steering go the right way than keeping the bike upright directly.

Gyroscopic effect is not even significant. Lock your steering and you will fall over no matter how fast your wheels are spinning. (Which can happen with a badly pitted headset)

I wouldn't say easy... But yeah, you don't just fall over.

It's not that. Gyroscopic action exists of course, but it's fairly weak against the weight of your body. Balancing a bicycle is just like balancing an umbrella on your finger, except you can easily move your finger any direction you need. To move the bicycle sideways, you need to already be moving forward.

Would you pull it without being specifically asked to in a police encounter?

This basically amounts to "you should care about Haitians eating pets because you like animals", it overlooks that the veracity of the claim is not established...

Shoulda sprinkled some crack on him, then they can shoot everybody, who can argue?

NYPD incompetent.
