NYPD White Shirt KO's a Protester at Today's March 10/14/11



The overhand right from the officer comes in slow-motion at the 35-second mark.

The man punched, Felix Rivera-Pitre is HIV positive. He told Gothamist this morning:

  • "The cop just lunged at me full throttle and hit me on the left side of my face. It tore my earring out. I remember seeing my earring on the ground next to me and it was full of blood. I was completely dumbstruck. I'm HIV positive and that cop should get tested."

The only explanation he could give for the punch was that he "shot the cop a look."
