This is what the NYPD did to a protestor.

From the @NewYorkStateAG's just-released lawsuit:

"NYPD Officers charged towards the protesters, pushing Pittenger to the ground. As she lay on the ground, another NYPD swung a baton overhead and hit Pittenger’s head."

And another:

"Without warning, provocation, or justification, NYPD Officers in riot gear charged towards Benoit, pushed him back towards a nearby subway station entrance, and hit him with batons on the right side of his face and elsewhere on his body."

*This* is NY state @SenatorMyrie after he was pepper-sprayed, slammed with a bike, and falsely arrested.

"Although Senator Myrie was screaming in pain, NYPD Officers did not seek or provide him with any medical treatment until one passing officer recognized him."
