NYPD Officers Attempt to Arrest 14-Year-Old Girl- Community Doesn’t Allow It

New York, NY– On May 14, copwatcher Michael Barber of the Copwatch Patrol Unit was out doing a great public service in which he frequently engages – filming the police. As he was doing so, he captured something absolutely amazing.

The video, originally posted to Facebook early Friday morning, captured undercover officers grabbing at children while attempting to arrest a 14-year-old girl. This was reportedly over allegations that a child who was with her, who witnesses say appeared to be around 7-years-old, had pushed the button on a police call box.

“May 14 around 7PM in Washington heights 140st and Hamilton undercover officers Gonzalez from the 30th Pct. NYPD over stepped his boundaries and was not following proper protocol . ‪#?PoliceThePolice‬” Barber’s caption read.

What begins as a typical video of police abusing their badges takes a dramatic turn for the absolute best around six minutes in.

The one cop wasn't so bad but that fat one was pretty aggressive.

Kind of says it all. That CopWatch guy was absolutely right on.

Thank you, Michael Barber and CPU. You guys provide a great service and have you work cut out for you.
