NYPD 72nd Pct. Officers Assault Street Vendor in Sunset Park

#t=146

One minute into this YouTube video, you could see an officer pushing a helpless woman to the side while other officers engage in shoving matches with the citizens. Then a male officer gets into a wrestling match of sorts with an unidentified woman before officers are seen bringing a man to the ground while a crowd congregates to watch. One man screamed "you (expletive) hit him."

Sirens blared as the NYPD took control of the situation before a male officer is seen kicking the unidentified man already on the ground at the 2:23 mark of the video. "

Look I hate cops as much as the next guy but cops are awesome god-like creatures who can do no wrong.

Don't call 911 next time YOUR in trouble.

Period!

End of story!
