*Thanks to a videographer who goes by the handle of @mrcheckpoint_ on Instagram, we’re able to see how an anti-police protestor was literally hammered with a police shield … at the hands of an L.A. County Sheriff’s deputy. And it happened repeatedly. This is straight up police brutality on display.
The video shows the deputy forcefully striking the detained protester repeatedly in the legs and ankles.
TMZ is reporting that the Sheriff’s office says there were several acts of vandalism during the protest. Deputies declared the protest an unlawful assembly and ordered everyone to leave.
It’s unclear what happened to the protester who was struck with the shield, but 6 people were arrested.
The demonstrators were protesting the outcome of the Grand Jury hearing in the Breonna Taylor case.
