One of the two people who recorded the chokehold death of Eric Garner over the summer was arrested and beaten by officers from the New York Police Department, and believes she is being targeted for her role in the Garner case.
Not only has there been a target on her back since she posted the footage in July, but the NYPD used excessive force when arresting Taisha Allen two weeks ago, the Staten Island resident told RT.
Allen and her friend were in a park behind her building after dark ‒ which she admitted to WPIX is closed at night ‒ when officers approached her friend.
“He was being harassed by the police so I walked around and I asked the officer, like, what was going on, you know, he’s not out here trespassing or loitering...I sent him to the store, he’s out here visiting me,” she told RT.
The officer told her to mind her own business, then said: “Oh wait, you’re the girl who taped [the] Eric Garner case,” Allen recalled. “And I was like, ‘Yeah, but this doesn’t have anything to do with the situation, so could you tell me what’s going on?’”
