Trumpet Player Swarmed By Cops, Pinned Down And Arrested
TRUMPET PLAYER – A video was uploaded showing a lone trumpet player being swarmed by 6 Seattle cops and pinned to the ground.
Following the death of George Floyd, several protests have erupted in the United States. People from all walks of life came together to hit the streets to voice out police brutality and injustice.
However, even amidst the peaceful protests, police have been repeatedly captured abusing their power. Such an even happened with a trumpet player standing several feet away from the police barricade.
In a video posted on Reddit by user Purpan, the trumpet man was seen playing behind more or less 50 cops. You could even hear the person who took the video say sarcastically “Oh wow, the trumpet guy is so threatening”.
But, things quickly turned tragic for the lone player as 6 cops from all directions ran toward him, took his trumpet, and pinned him to the ground. Afterward, the trumpet man was arrested but got bailed out shortly after.
However, this wasn’t the last the police have seen of the trumpet man. When the video of the trumpet man’s arrest went viral, several local musicians joined him in his cause. Now, an entire band backs him up as people continue to protest just after a day.
Meanwhile, netizens who saw the video all had a similar narrative to tell – how the trumpet man’s arrest was unnecessary an excessive. Others were shocked because of how a lone trumpet man playing a song peacefully could easily be arrested for nothing.
