Olbermann says there is another video angle showing it is NOT a woman. Sure looks like a woman to me. I can't watch Current TV right now. Seemingly inappropriate anger response from cop no matter the gender.

NYPD White Shirt punch the lights out of a female protester, another White shirt pushes him away saving her from a beat down.

1. I would personally like to...

...beat the shit out of that guy. Sorry...

[Mumblefratz]

5. Me too ...

[EFerrari]

2. When he hits her, she is backing up, not charging.

You need to lose your pension, abusive pig.

[Hissyspit]

4. Yup. Struck out of anger.

Anyone verify this is today?

[Hissyspit]

36. Side view VIDEO showing it is a male protester.

37. AP interviews struck man:

http://enews.earthlink.net/article/top?guid=20111014/f2b3caaf-b977-4663-b6f8-865cdb5190c8

And a video posted online showed a police officer punching a protester in the side of the head on a crowded street. Police said the altercation occurred after the man tried to elbow the officer in the face and other people in the crowd jumped on the officer, who was sprayed with a liquid coming from the man's direction. Police said the man, who escaped and was wanted for attempted assault on an officer, later said in an online interview he's HIV positive and the officer should be tested medically.

A man who identified himself as the protester, Felix Rivera-Pitre, said in a statement posted online that he didn't provoke the officer. "I was just doing what everyone else was doing in the march," he said. "It felt like he was taking his frustrations out on me."

6. he is a coward... he would never do what he did without his badge and other comrades

standing around him with their badges of dishonor.

[snappyturtle]

3. So sad.....unreal. nt

[vanbean]

8. Sad that a coward like him is a cop.

[malthaussen]

7. That was no smack

That looks more like a punch to me. And totally unwarranted.

[Lint Head]

9. Wish I had been there. He would not be on his feet after that.

[eleny]

10. New York's Finest - goon

[EFerrari]

11. Somebody knows who he is. Let's hit the link.

Damn, that made me nauseous. That woman is probably black and blue by now.

[vanbean]

13. What link?

[EFerrari]

19. You Tube link in the OP.

[eleny]

The guy who took the video is on KO right now

[Hissyspit]

21. What did he say? I missed it.

[eleny]

29. When he talked about the person who got decked he acted like it was a man

On another note - KO also interviewed the attorney for the guy who got run over by the policeman on the motor bike. That guy wasn't even a protester. He was a legal observer. It's been many hours and his attorney said she hadn't even spoken with him yet. The police alleged that he stuck his leg under the scooter. After he extricated his foot from under the scooter, with no help from the police btw, they then jumped him and pummeled him to the point that he needed emergency medical care.

[Hissyspit]

30. Thanks. I did see that segment.

[Hissyspit]

31. If you watch Olbermann's footage, it's apparently a man, not a woman.

[vanbean]

12. Can anyone understand what she seems to have said to him? You can almost hear it.

[malthaussen]

14. No, Can't make it out

But even if she insulted the memory of his sainted mother, his reaction was not just inappropriate, but criminal.

-- Mal

[vanbean]

15. I agree. I'm just curious.

[EFerrari]

18. It doesn't matter. She was backing up

and these mofos have a pattern now of beating on women.

:wtf: IS THAT?

They MUST be called out on this.

[monmouth]

16. He had no problem hitting her either, no hesitation...n/t

[20score]

24. It would be a safe bet that he hits his wife and kids, too.

[dotymed]

17. And then the POS handcuffs the victim!

They are pushing us (intentionally?) to the point of riot. That way they can bring in the heavy artillery and discredit us on the MSM.

Why aren't they discredited as the fascists they are? It has to be obvious to everyone.

[Amonester]

28. Remember: the Whole World Watches.

This is gonna hurt tourism, which in turn is gonna hurt fat cat$ hotel$, restaurant$, and on, and on.

[sce56]

20. Anyone good at making music videos? I have an idea

checkout this one from the Mayday riots in LA a few years ago change the LAPD to NYPD and put over video of Tony Boloney and other NYPD thugs

[sce56]

22. Never mind I have contacted the original composers and asked them to redo it!

[20score]

23. Why didn't the other, "good cops" arrest the son of a bitch? Don't care if it was their first day

on the job and he was their boss's, boss's, boss - that guy should be in jail.

[Quixote1818]

27. That was my first thought too! WTF?

Clearly that cop can be prosecuted after that! I am sure he will and I hope the judge asks the other cops why they didn't arrest him right then and there!

[malthaussen]

25. As Mentioned in the Other Thread

About this assault, it appears to be a different angle of an assault reported earlier.

-- Mal

[dotymed]

32. Maybe, but it WAS still an assault

perpetrated by a NYPD cop. He should have been cuffed. Have you seen the video (in another OP of NY's finest parking his scooter on a supposed protestors leg? They think it might have been a legal aide person. They're earning their millions from the bank "donation."

[KansDem]

26. White-shirt goon again.

Anonymous? Are you watching? We need to know who this f?ck is...

[PatrynXX]

33. oh they are simply enjoying themselves

making sure they are well paid for punching New Yorkers around.

[scentopine]

34. Just remember JP Morgan is paying cops $4.6 million to punch protesters...

NYPD is not on the side of working men and women. Do not trust them. They work for the highest bidder and that is Wall Street billionaires Bloomberg and JP Morgan.

Cops won't investigate JP Morgan, in return JP Morgan gives cops plenty of easy money - just bust up a few heads and there is more where that came from.

Police could have said no. They didn't. They are paid for crooks just like politicians.

Do not make the mistake thinking they are on our side. They are not.

[Quixote1818]

35. Who is the guy in the suit who seems to be pushing the cop away from the guy?

That guy looks like he is pissed off at the cop and trying to keep him from getting to the guy once he falls to the ground.

[Hissyspit]

38. AP:

http://enews.earthlink.net/article/top?guid=20111014/f2b3caaf-b977-4663-b6f8-865cdb5190c8

In one case, an observer with the National Lawyers Guild who was marching with the group refused to move off the street for police, and the tip of his foot was run over by an officer's scooter. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing and kicked over the scooter before police flipped him over and arrested him.

And a video posted online showed a police officer punching a protester in the side of the head on a crowded street. Police said the altercation occurred after the man tried to elbow the officer in the face and other people in the crowd jumped on the officer, who was sprayed with a liquid coming from the man's direction. Police said the man, who escaped and was wanted for attempted assault on an officer, later said in an online interview he's HIV positive and the officer should be tested medically.
