One New York City police officer has been suspended and at least one other is under investigation after a video went viral showing a Staten Island cop punching a Black teenage girl in the head several times.⁠ ⁠ The video shows at least two NYPD officers holding the girl by the hood of her jacket on a sidewalk. The girl, later identified by the New York Post as 14-year-old Kyonna Robinson, stumbles backward into an iron fence with her arms over her head. ⁠ ⁠ One of the cops continues to throw punches as teenage onlookers scream and record the incident. One of the teens tries unsuccessfully to pull Robinson away from the cop.⁠ ⁠ Robinson told the Post that her 12-year-old sister was involved in the fight, and that she jumped into the fray to protect her sibling. Robinson said one of the officers pushed her before she decided to strike, and admitted to hitting him two times in the face.⁠ ⁠ Even New York City’s notoriously pro-cop Mayor Eric Adams said he was “not happy with what he saw.” ⁠ ⁠ Link to the full article in our bio.
