Man sucker punches, wrestles NYPD cop to the ground in Brooklyn

A deranged man sucker-punched an NYPD officer on a Brooklyn sidewalk, pinning the cop to the ground and refusing to budge, body camera footage obtained by The Post shows.

The wild video shows Steven Haynes, 40, socking the uniformed officer across the face outside a Bank of America near the corner of Livingston St. and Court St. in Downtown Brooklyn on Thursday, officials said.

Haynes, who police said had been sitting on the sidewalk drinking and blocking pedestrians, briefly brawls with the officer before wrestling him to the pavement in a swift attack that sends a nearby trash can flying into the street, the video shows.

Seconds later, the cop’s partner calls for backup, then begins yelling for Haynes to stop.

“Get off of him, get off of him!” the officer says as she hovers over the suspect, grabbing the man’s back and brandishing a baton. “All right, sir. Stop, stop, stop, stop!”

Haynes continues to struggle with the officer on the ground, while the other cop grips the man’s jacket and attempts to convince him to move.

“Mister, come on,” the cop pleads, thumping Haynes on the back with the baton.

Several other police officers then arrive a minute later and help take Haynes into custody.

Afraid to shoot. Next up is De Blasio will take their guns.

Women cops can do anything male cops can do can do, right?

Lady cop: “Mister, come on!”
Now if that’s not effective policing, I don’t know what is!

One whack in the head with that night stick would have ended this.

Not quite. She clearly missed out on “stomp your foot” training.

I can’t even begin to imagine the hell they go through every day. They defend themselves they get charged with murder or assault, they don’t defend themselves they get killed or humiliated and the democrats encourage this. Not only is bail now outlawed in NY, the criminals are also encouraged with monetary awards and gifts to break the law. And people think electing Democrats into office is a good thing?

"The Brooklyn man was arrested and hit with a slew of charges, including assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration, disorderly conduct, and alcoholic beverage violation, authorities said."

No doubt, charged then quickly released.

It’s pretty clear in the video that the guy was wanted for possession of Crack.

““Get off of him, get off of him!” the officer says as she hovers over the suspect, grabbing the man’s back and brandishing a baton. “All right, sir. Stop, stop, stop, stop!””

Nothing to add...

“... and brandishing a baton...”

“ One whack in the head with that night stick would have ended this.”

Couldn’t figure out the instruction manual that came with the baton, or is there an NYPD/DeBlasio rule that says the cops have to carry one but never use it?

They call him “Sir” and “Mister”, how wonderful!
Oh yes, he is a taxpayer and a responsible citizen of this great country, police brutality be damned...

"Women cops can do anything male cops can do can do, right?"

Maybe the one thing the NYC woman police officers are better at is licking their lips and enticing the criminals...

I’d be reluctant to shoot where the perp is on top of my partner on the pavement.

There’s one or two things that could go wrong.

He deserves an amazon gift card and a coupon for Applebee’s and then he’ll be a proper member of society. At least according to DeBlasio.
