The district attorney’s office declined to provide additional comment on the videos, and a spokesperson for the NYPD didn’t return a request for comment.

Robert Gangi, the director of the Police Reform Organizing Project, said the more complete picture of the encounter shown on the videos raised questions about why the police had approached the men in the first place, and then physically accosted Brito as he was walking away.

“Why were the cops giving them a hard time, when they didn’t seem to be doing anything that calls for that?” he wondered. “It does not justify the men throwing them on the ground and kicking them. But it seriously calls into question the behavior of these cops.”

The sequence of events captured on the videos is “not what was portrayed or presented when we first got the story,” Gangi said.

Is that the account first proffered by police is a lie.

Isn't there a particular political party that has a habit of doing that?

Shocked, I tell you. Next thing you'll say, they shoot people for no reason and fail to perform their duty when schoolchildren are dying. Good thing we identified the two bad apples out of the barrel.
