FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda On Wednesday, US District Judge Denise Cote ruled New York Police Department officers must appear in court in relation to an excessive-force complaint filed by two Occupy Wall Street protesters, the Courthouse News Service reported.
In October, 2011, Heather Carpenter and her fiancé, Julio Jose Jimenez-Artunduaga, sued former NYPD Chief Joseph Esposito, Chief of Patrol James Hall, and three sergeants, alleging that New York police officers used excessive force while arresting protesters for trespassing at a Citibank branch on October 15, 2011.
“Although these allegations are disputed, they raise issues of fact which may only be resolved by a jury,” said Cote on Wednesday.
23-year-old Carpenter marched with a group of Occupy protesters to a Citibank near the New York Stock Exchange as part of a Day of Action Against Banks.
Carpenter had planned to close her account at the Citibank branch but took part in a sit-in protest inside the bank.
After the NYPD chief ordered the bank to barricade its doors and arrest the protesters, Carpenter showed a bank receipt and was allowed to leave.
However, as she was filming the arrests on her cellphone from outside the bank, an unknown officer approached her from behind and used excessive force while placing her under arrest.
Her fiancé, Jimenez-Artunduaga, also says he was dragged into the vestibule of the bank, kicked into the back of the knee, and handcuffed. Carpenter and her fiancé were only released after 32 hours.
The Occupy Wall Street Movement began on September 17, 2011, when protesters began camping in Zuccotti Park near the New York Stock Exchange.
The movement successfully turned the attention of US politicians and people around the world to corporate greed and corruption in the US and the influence of large corporations on the US government which disproportionately benefits a minority and undermines the majority of the American society.
The Occupy movement soon turned into a national movement across the United States and federal agents began to spy on the protesters.
In November, 2011, police in New York cleared the Occupy Wall Street camp from Zuccotti Park and evicted the peaceful protesters.
