NOW: NYPD seen punching another protestor as they tackle them to the ground for standing in the street in front of the Brooklyn Museum.
Brooklyn police have a history of punching protestors like this. A few weeks ago they were seen punching at least 5 protestors after detaining them at a Nakba Day march in Bay Ridge.

The NYPD is seen slamming this protestor to the ground punching his chest with his hand around their neck. They never once resisted. Their head was also bleeding as they were transported to the police van.
All for walking in the street.
One of the many brutal arrests from today's Brooklyn protest.
