Brief summary of what happened FReepers:

Cop tells snowflake "Get off the road:

Snowflake said to cop "why?"

Cop throws snowflake off the road.

Snowflake has to go to hospital.

[Skywise]

If DeBlasio supports the protestors then NYPD should cease defending th city and let them sack the Mayors mansion.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Nice guy! he could have shot the bitch!

[BenLurkin]

Used to be anyone who attended a rjot understood they could get hurt.

[rktman]

Maybe a bunch of badges could get tossed on the chief’s desk. Then duh blah blah blah zero can handle it.

[manc]

There are so many ex NYPD officers who have moved here to St Johns County FL

[rktman]

LOL! Yup. There were some in Brevard County before we left too.

[JonPreston]

If DeBlasio supports the protestors then NYPD should cease defending th city

Go sick.

[manc]

They all hate their old mayor and are conservative.

It was first shared by Newsweek reporter Jason Lemon who claimed that the officer called the woman a 'stupid ******* *****' before shoving her.

I see no problem with that compared to what the police have to hear and endure from the rioting animals. And I'm sure the cops words were accurate.

In a press conference on Saturday, Mayor Bill de Blasio, expressed solidarity with demonstrators upset about police brutality, but said there will be a full review of what went wrong.

Sides with the 'demonstrators'... of course he does! The cop was being rude and uncivil towards the peaceful demonstrators. The cop probably needs to be disciplined and go to anger-management course.

[Trillian]

Maybe if they would stop rioting..

[xrmusn]

Good thing that cop in Baltimore is not in NYC.

They would hang him for good measure AFTER keelhauling him.

Guess the ONLY saving grace is he is also Black and in the same ‘tape’ she is seen hitting the White cop twice then the Black cop comes over the top and coldcocks her...

THAT is reality TV....

Looked like he was escorting “the Boss” as a bodyguard, clearing a path in front of him. It didn’t look as bad as I expected, but still unacceptable. I doubt “the Boss” was impressed. Falling backward on the asphalt can have terrible consequences.

Yup. Coach Tom Landry used to say "If you put on your helmet, you better be ready to play"

[RedStateRocker]

Was the person legitimately protesting?

People have a right to that, according to this thing that Freepers usually hold in regard, called the Constitution.

If you’re not rioting, you have a right to protest, a right that should be defended just as zealously as we would our right to keep and bear arms.

How would you feel if cops treated the people protesting against lockdown, or anti RKBA laws like that?

I think rioters and looters should be shot, I think protesters who are not burning, looting or breaking things have as much rights as I do.

[qaz123]

Saw one of the clips and sure does look like she was putting her hands up to the cop. Good for him. But of course, DeBlasio will back the protester and just when you think he can’t lose anymore credibility with the NYPD, he’ll lower the bar even more.

Every NYPD cop should stand down and let the protesters do what they want.

Yep. It’s a shame the old nightstick has gone out of favor. And I don’t mean for clubbing. A nightstick held horizontally with both hands - and applied just below the center of mass - can move someone back without much risk of harm.

But of course an ornery person might then grab the nightstick, and escalate the situation. So there’s that.
