Breaking News: Police Brutality in Brooklyn on an Auspicious Day

Yesterday was the The National Day of Action Against Police Brutality, and guess what went down in Brooklyn? Yes, just that. From a reader:

This morning at 11:30am a young woman was having an altercation with about 8 folks from the nypd at the R/M 25th st stop in bklyn. After it was over and she was on her way to the turn style, they came back to arrest her. When she resisted, they tasered her. Clearly, I don’t know the background, but she was one, unarmed, woman and the tasering was undeniably excessive.

Here’s the video that this amazing reader shot on the spot:

This is breaking news, so I don’t know if anyone is organizing around this incident, but please use the comments section as a place to link folks to that work if and when it happens!
