Confirmed: NYPD used excessive force on ‘Occupy’ protesters
A group of legal experts have published a report which contains 130 cases that can be qualified as police brutality against Occupy Wall Street protesters in New York.
Researchers at NYU and Fordham University have concluded that NYPD officers acted beyond their powers during their intense crackdown against Occupy protesters.
Findings from the eight-month study serve to validate months of claims that demonstrators were, in fact, mistreated by officers.
The study found that police used batons, scooters, horses, and metal barricades to inflict unnecessary force and intimidation on demonstrators.
