Footage Exposes Cop Pepper Spraying Activists Protesting Against The Brutal Arrest Of A Teen [VIDEO]

1

Video footage has emerged from Cleveland, Ohio, where dozens of Black Lives Matter activists were pepper sprayed by a white policeman for holding a protest against the police for violently arresting an African-American teen in the city.

There were two conflicting reports about the crime the teenager is alleged to have committed, but both offenses are minor crimes and activists were stating that the police used extreme force against the teenager due to his color.

The arrest of the teenager occurred in the main city center, across the street from Cleveland State University, which was hosting a conference sponsored by The Movement for Black Lives.

Cleveland’s ABC affiliate reports that the teen, “was accused of having an open container at the bus stop when he was approached by officers.”

Other sources on social media also said the teen was arrested because he did not have a bus ticket and wanted to board the bus to his destination.

It was reported that the police, “slammed the teen to the ground while making an arrest and pepper spray was used.”

After this arrest, activists heard about the news and rallied near the scene to protest. A video showed activists linking arms in an apparent effort to prevent police from breaking up the protest. At that time, a white police officer is seen in the video pepper spraying the crowd in an attempt to disperse them. As protesters cry and wail for the pepper burning their eyes, the officer continues to spray them all over the place.

The police officer is yet to be identified at the time of filing this report and activists are calling for the incident to be investigated as they say the officer infringed on their rights to hold a peaceful protest.

The Black Lives Matter group in Cleveland said they were holding a conference in the city to protest against the brutal treatment of the African-American community by the police, and barely had their meeting ended that this new brutal treatment against them by the police occurred.
