not-social distancing while black










A New York police officer has been stripped of his gun and badge and placed on desk duty after shocking video emerged showing him beating up a man over an alleged social distancing violation.

On Saturday, several plainclothes NYPD cops broke up a group of people ignoring social distancing orders and dragged a man to the ground and arrested him in the East Village on Avenue D and 9th Street around 5pm.

Two minutes after the arrest bystanders began to shout and decry the force used by police , prompting Officer Francisco Garcia to threaten the crowd with a stun gun and shout 'Get back. Get the f**k back', according to the New York Post.

Donni Wright, 33, was a part of that crowd and shouted 'He didn't even do nothing' in shock over the cops' earlier arrest.

'What you flexing for? Don't flex,' Garcia, wearing a black T-shirt, jeans, Yankees cap and a belt showing his officer's badge, replied before punching Wright in the head.

jumped in help him, when he was brutalizing some poor sod. Not a one of them made the slightest attempt to protect his victims.
