In US news and current events today, this NYPD officer called a protester a ‘stupid f*cking b*tch’ before shoving her to the ground, causing her serious head injuries — he is now under investigation (warning: distressing).

As the George Floyd protests swept New York City, many peaceful protesters were subject to violence and escalation at the hands of the NYPD. From gassing to rubber bullets and physical violence, the police did not hold back in their assault of what appear to be peaceful protests. As widespread looting spread across the city, it appears the police focused their resources on shutting down peaceful protest, like when an officer allegedly shoved peaceful protester Dounya Zayer and called her a misogynist insult. The NYPD has opened an investigation into the officer who allegedly shoved Zayer, but the Black Lives Matter protests over police brutality and the police killing of George Floyd will likely still continue.
