Would you tell me what you see at about 2 seconds into the film on the left side of the frame? Does it look like someone's arm in a black sleeve shirt tossing water in the direction of the girl and the cop?

Do you think the cop got the right person?
Who tossed the water - the girl who got struck by the cop, or the person in the black sleeve shirt?
It looks to me like the cop got the wrong person, definitely. I also looked for the coward who threw the liquid but the person who owned that leg was not seen in the video again. That cop screwed up and should be suspended based on what I saw.
The woman comes from the other side of the crowd — not the curb — in this video and appears to be taunting the cops and said something that upset the sergeant. When he turned in her direction she knew he was coming after her. It wasn’t the guy on the left of the camera throwing something that started it. It was something that she said that angered the police sergeant. That’s what it looks like.
