Wild video shows black cop PUNCHING black BLM protester who lunged at him and called him a 'pig' during Pittsburgh rally
Daily Mail UK ^ | April 19, 2022 | Melissa Koenig

A wild video posted online over the weekend captured the moment a black police officer punched a Black Lives Matter protester at a rally in Pittsburgh.

Seth Taylor, a three year member of the Wilkinsburg Police Department, was snapped punching a protester identified as Vuestro Merced after they intervened while officers were trying to detain another protester, according to Pittsburgh City Paper.

Video published online shows officers trying to apprehend a woman who was backing away and shouting obscenities as Merced pushed toward them and grabbed at them.

Taylor then swung at Merced, forcing them to the ground as muzzled police dogs were kept away as they called the officer a 'f****** pig.'

Merced was then led into a police vehicle, stumbling as they walked, as one woman recording the incident could be heard screaming at the arresting officers - both of whom were black - 'this is what people do to fight for black people, and this is what these pigs do in the street.'

Merced was later released from police custody, another protester Tweeted later. It is unclear what, if anything, they are charged with.

The altercation came as a group of about 20 protesters demanded justice for Jim Rogers, a 56-year-old black man who died in the hospital in October hours after he was Tased multiple times by police officers.

The purpose of the march, organizer Eve Pfeiffer said in a statement was two-fold. 'On the one hand, we intend to march to honor Jim's life and who he was as a person.

'On the other, we march to demand that the city and county officials act immediately in charging and firing all of the officers and EMS officials who are culpable in this horrible act of brutality and injustice,' she said, according to Pittsburgh City Paper.

That image is an instant classic.

Bunch of pic and vid links. Turn your sound down, the screeching is tough on the ears, but the video is very satisfying.

Calling him “pig” is always an effective way of getting the full attention of a cop.

That pushy protestor who ate a knuckle sandwich is calling himself Vuestro Merced. If I’m not mistaken, that phrase Vuestro Merced means “Your Mercy” in Spanish. Let me know if I’m wrong. He wasn’t showing any mercy or signs of civil behavior.

Should have let the K-9 growl a little more. People respect those dogs.

I just got done watching this video, over and over. I can’t even see the “man” was even touched by the cop. More like the cop used The Force on him and he went down. I can’t even believe that person is a member of the male sex or that his mama let him leave the house dressed that way.

If I lived in that neighborhood, I’d be packing today.

“””Taylor then swung at Merced, forcing them to the ground as muzzled.””””


Taylor will not be charged as the Daily Mail says that the appropriate pronoun was used to describe the man dressed as a woman.

Yesterday, I watched the video of this altercation and the crowd was yelling at the police: “You hit them”.

I’d be packing decades ago. And would have moved out.

At least two Trans were trying to distract/intimidate the Cops by staying in their faces and screaming profanities.
A natural reflex is to push somebody out of your way.
When the distractors start shoving back, they get what they deserved. The Officer ended the ‘discussion’.

When the daily mail does not know that is bad.

Enjoy kids.

The fabled land of liberty was real. People once made such a place. Pass it on.

According to the article, Merced is a them/they.
