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.

1st watch of the 1sr video posted, I calling a setup shenanigans of some kind.
Was just saying to Mrs. JR that police officers should be granted immunity from prosecution for beating the living daylights out of ANYONE who lays a hand on them. I would also extend it to anyone who screams in an officer’s face or uses any profanity or insults, but just one or two good punches, not a complete beat down.
I am so sick of seeing police officers being abused every single damn day. I know they’re not all angels, but it shouldn’t start out with them being free targets of abuse and violence.
Vuestro Merced looks like a male to me. Idiot writer here keeps using the plural pronoun “they.”
The difference between the RMCP against innocent peaceful civilians NOT blocking the streets and these criminals blocking the streets, cussing up a storm (she must love there kid a lot to call him her “effing kid.”, and then attacking officers who remained calm and composed is startling. I commend these officers.
HA HA!
That tranny begged for a faceful of pepper spray.
The “victim” was a trans freak and that’s what it prefers.
I know, it’s tough to keep up any more. Sh!t just takes off on the craziest tangent.....
What a testosterone laced attack! I bet he has to attend sensitivities training because of this.
Apparently, they were the wrong color, so their lives don't matter.
A lot more hickory shampoo, liberally applied, would improve a large number of attitudes. I’d love to see it, nationwide.
it had ahold of his arm, and when he wrenched it free, it went down...

That’s a man, baby.
The new black mayor of the ‘Burgh is supposed to be a law and order guy. We’ll see how this pans out.
If nothing comes of it….that’s good news.
I’d be packing decades ago. And would have moved out.”
We’ve all moved out at some time.
Some day, “moving out” won’t be an option.
