New York Daily News – by Ryan Sit
NYPD cops beat a man Wednesday night during a solidarity protest for Michael Brown, a video shows, although the circumstances surrounding the attack remained unclear early Thursday.
The 45-second video begins after police officers and the man have started arguing in the middle of a dark street in the East Village. It was not apparent what prompted officers to react so forcefully.
When asked for a comment on the video, police said the man was taken into custody on E. 10th St. near Ave. D, issued a C-summons for disorderly conduct and then released. They described his actions before the violent encounter as “tumultuous behavior.”
Demonstrators marched through the Lower East Side and in Union Square over the death of Brown, the unarmed black teen gunned down by a white cop in Ferguson, Mo., on Aug. 9. Brown’s killing followed the July 17 death of Eric Garner, 43, who was put in a chokehold by cops in Staten Island.
The Wednesday night video, taken from a BlackBerry and posted on Facebook, shows officers punching and tackling a man to the ground while protesters stand around shouting at the cops.
“Don’t shoot him! Don’t shoot him!” one woman yells as the melee begins.
“Yo, you knocked him out,” another man shouts as a swarm of officers arrive at the scene.
A crowd of protesters surrounded the officers chanting “Hands up, don’t shoot,” which has become the motto for Brown protests around the country.
The clip ends with a group yelling, “Cops, pigs, murders,” at the responding officers.
They described his actions before the violent encounter as “tumultuous behavior.”
So, that’s what they are calling it these days…..
Tumultuous Behavoir as defined In the communist dictionary is as follows… Any person exhibiting any kind of Humanity towards his fellow man.
Merriam-Webster defines it as someone who is “loud, excited or emotional” but can also be “someone who incites violence”. Like saying, it could mean, “Very happy” or “Very angry”. So which one is it?
