BOSTON -- An unidentified Massachusetts state trooper that was caught on camera pepper spraying a protester at an Eric Garner demonstration has been placed on restricted duty pending an investigation according to a statement released on Wednesday by the Massachusetts State Police

In addition to placing the officer on restricted duty the MSP is actively trying to contact the man that recorded the video, Kin Moy, but so far Moy has remained unresponsive.

"To date, the individual who posted a video depicting a trooper using pepper spray during a demonstration in Boston last week has not responded to several requests by State Police to contact us," said a statement from the MSP.

Moy told multiple media outlets that he was reaching out to the ACLU and an attorney first before cooperating further with an official investigation into the incident.
