Cop Pulls Down Protestor’s Mask, Pepper-Sprays Her Even When Kneeling
COP PULLS DOWN PROTESTOR’S MASK – Tensions in the United States continue to escalate between police and protesters.
The death of George Floyd sparked a massive movement against police brutality. However, even with peaceful protests, some police continued displaying acts of aggression.
Such a thing happened in Philadelphia when a cop forcibly pulled down a protester’s face mask just to pepper spray her in the face. But, the protester was already kneeling down with her hands up.
Afterward, he sprayed another protester who was also on her knees causing the poor woman to fall to the pavement in pain. Still, the cop wasn’t done.
He went ahead and pushed over a third protester to make sure he could hit her in the face with the pepper spray.

Here is the full video uploaded by Greg Doucette on Twitter:
According to the original uploader of the video, “linds”, Mayor Kenny fabricated police statements saying police had things thrown at them. The uploader also noted how the police lied about issuing multiple warnings before spraying chemical agents.
The folks in the front immediately got on their knees with their hands up and were confronted by officers with mace to the face.
People who fled for safety were trapped in scrambling up the hill and trying to hop the gate while gasping for air, blinded and screaming while police fired canister after canister of folks complying with leaving the highway.
