Trigger Warning: Man Followed, Stopped & Tased by Plain Clothes NYPD Officer in Brooklyn

This is a tough video to watch but it’s important to shed light and hold the New York police accountable to citizens. This occurred in Brooklyn New York. The young man was in the park in Canarsie shortly at approximately 7:50 pm( the park does not close until 9pm) when approached by a plain clothes officer. After the initial illegal stop- multiple officers swarmed down on the young man. According to the video recorder twitter user @TheVelvetRope__ “I’m walking home from work and this undercover cop was holding this man. The guy asked for the cop to identify himself, he ignored that. He asked what crime he commit, he ignored that too. I pulled out my phone. You can hear the guy screaming “I never thought it would happen to me!” Y’all I don’t know his name. I don’t know what precinct he went to. All I know is he was not dead when they took him away.” Mayor De Blasio’s New York was supposed to be different. It was supposed to be progressive. This doesn’t look like progress. This looks like Eric Garner. According to the official Website: You may contact Mayor de Blasio by postal mail, phone, or submitting a webform message. Please also note that all scheduling requests must be submitted in writing to the address below.

Pt 2. This shit was just completely unnecessary. Yes the guy was in the park but he has a right to be in there because it closes at 9pm. This happened in Canarsie, Brooklyn. pic.twitter.com/hHjPq3JY2c
