Outrage has sparked in New York City over the ways NYPD has been enforcing social distancing. One video of a man being tased especially stands in contrast to other images of white people defying social distancing orders without violence.
According to New York Post, the tasing incident occurred on Saturday around 5:30 p.m. in the East Village. Police say Shakiem Brunsom and Ashley Serrano refused to move along and obey social distancing orders, then they resisted attempts by the cops to handcuff them.
According to the NYPD’s Internal Affairs, because of the incident, Garcia has been placed on modified duty pending the investigation.
