Hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets in Brooklyn on Friday night to protest police violence after a teen was seen in a viral video being punched by an officer in a subway brawl.
Video of the incident posted on social media showed an altercation breaking out on a subway platform in Brooklyn late last week, with an officer seen punching 15-year-old Benjamin Marshall.
Marshall and his parents say he was not part of the fight and was instead looking for his backpack on the platform when he was punched.
Protesters responded by swarming streets in Brooklyn on Friday night, with protesters heard chanting "hands off black kids, NYPD" as they marched.

Marshall and his parents say he was not part of the fight and was instead looking for his backpack... Couldn't he wait until the melee was over and it was safe to look for his backpack? IDK, this just doesn't pass the smell test. That's as far as I will go until get more info...

“Fare evasion”- no big deal. Not like selling “loosies”, which is automatic death sentence in NY.

That just shows that resisting arrest when you have a BMI of 88 can be hazardous to your health.

I don’t believe there will be CWII, but there may be search-and-destroy missions to primitive outposts.
