This week, cellphone video appeared online showing NYPD officers assaulting a pregnant woman, throwing her to the ground, and using a taser on her belly. The altercation allegedly began when police interrupted the family from eating dinner without reason and without a warrant, and lured them out of a Brooklyn restaurant. When on the street, police reportedly planted a knife on 17-year-old John Lemos and threatened to take him to jail. According to the family, they have a history with these specific officers, and they believe that the officers were attempting to frame Lemos because they had a grudge against him. Either way, carrying a knife in a big city should not be a crime to begin with, and the police had no legal reason to interrupt this family’s dinner. Lemos’s mother was witness to the entire ordeal, and when she attempted to defend her son she was viciously attacked by the officers. When police began to get rough with the woman, onlookers took out their cellphone cameras and began to record the incident. The officer in the video can be seen throwing the woman to the ground, straddling her body while her stomach was pressed against the concrete, and then seconds later using a taser on her belly.
