A distressing video has circulated on social media showing New York City
00:04
officers attempting to arrest a migrant woman and a teenage daughter who
00:09
were selling fruit in Manhattan's Battery park.
00:12
The clip filmed by a passerby showed a woman in a yellow
00:14
jersey with the NYC Parks enforcement patrol officer holding one of her
00:18
arms and an NYPD officer at her other arm.
00:21
The camera then panned to a young girl in a pink shirt
00:24
and leggings who was being grabbed by a parks enforcement officer.
00:28
A 32 year old woman got a ticket and a 14 year
00:31
old girl got a report from the incident,
00:33
but we don't know their names or if they have a lawyer
00:36
Like I saw the video and I'm just like,
00:37
wow, is that necessary?
00:39
You know what I mean?
00:40
you're selling fruit and if anything,
00:43
these people are actually trying to work like they're not just begging
00:46
for money like they're just,
00:48
you know, they're trying to make a living.
00:50
No. Yeah. And I know there's people in the comments
00:51
Oh, the permits in this permit is that?
00:53
But it's the way they're getting handled aggressively.
00:57
It's a child. But dude,
00:58
at the end of the day too,
00:59
Tambien, I saw a comment under the video and if they
01:02
have an excellent point,
01:03
ok. Permits then ask girl scouts outside of freaking Alberton for
01:08
permits. I saw that one.
01:11
I'm like, it's so true.
01:13
let's talk permits. But would you handle the kids like that
01:16
like aggressively? Like these are like kids and the mom
01:19
and it was just so unnecessary,
01:21
so uncalled for. And it kind of made me giggle when
01:23
the, when the officer fell on the floor,
01:27
he looked kind of like mad.
01:29
Where was backup? It's like homeboy was embarrassed.
01:31
It's like power tripping for real power tripping.
01:36
you know, these Fruit Benders get the justice that they deserve
