Drummer Boy Kicked Before Arrest
I was shocked to see a police officer run up to a drummer and kick him while he stood peacefully. The drummer was later singled out for arrest.
I was shocked to see a police officer run up to a drummer and kick him while he stood peacefully. The drummer was later singled out for arrest. The police officer was identified as #2170.
I was close to the drummer's position for some time before his arrest and spoke with him twice, and I had no reason to believe he was committing any crime. I saw him pushed around by police repeatedly. I do not know this person.
He was arrested within a minute or two thereafter, pulled from the curb by a large group of officers, his foot stomped on repeatedly to force it to the side and pin it down while he was face-down under the officers who handcuffed him with his backpack on. After he was cuffed he remained limp in the street for some time, possibly unconscious or in shock. An officer lifted and appeared to drop his head repeatedly before eventually one hauled him to his feet.
I'm posting first, four cropped images of the kick, then the larger view with arrows drawn to show the kick, and then three images from the arrest.
These images came from the original video which was posted here:
