*Yes, we know being a cop is a hard, hard, job. But that doesn’t mean you have to become an animal to do do it. However, after watching video of of several NYC Transit Officers, it’s obvious the animal in them has taken over.
We’re talking about a situation where a man who allegedly attacked and injured several New York Transit officers was wrestled to the ground and pummeled … like an ANIMAL … and we know this because the takedown was captured on video.
On Tuesday in a subway station, cops say Alex Lowery was smoking a cigarette which is a violation of MTA rules. They approached him and escorted him out of the station, but as they walked up a flight of stairs to the exit, Lowery allegedly spat in an officer’s face. Uh oh.

Here’s more via TMZ:
Lowery began to struggle with the cops, and allegedly punched one of them in the face and head-butted another officer. Cops say Lowery and one of the officers tumbled down the stairs and Lowery again punched a cop in the face.
The Transit cops subdued Lowery, and when he was on the ground an officer threw 11 punches at his head.
Several officers were injured. One had lacerations to his head and injured his knee. Another officer injured his elbow in the struggle.
