Brooklyn Protests Anti-New York Police Department Brutality Over Beaten Teens; Chanting "No Justice, No Peace"

Around 1,000 individuals fighting what they state is New York police brutality walked through midtown Brooklyn, reciting "no justice, no peace!"

The quiet dissidents filled principle roads Friday evening as they passed the Barclays Center field where the Brooklyn Nets play. The walk came a few days after a video rose via web-based networking media indicating cops beating on adolescents inside city tram stations.

Marchers state they restrict what they consider over-policing of the tram framework.

Charged as a convention of crisis activity against the NYPD and the MTA, a huge gathering of youthful nonconformists cleared their path through Downtown Brooklyn for a few hours.

"Police brutality against the criminalization of black youth in the subway system by police," they relayed.

One of the latest occurrences they point to is the battle that broke out a week ago at the Jay Street-Metrotech station. As police moved in to split it up, one of the officials can be seen punching 15-year-old Benjamin Marshall in the face.

"Me coming here, seeing them treat my brothers and sisters like that, that's making it my issue," said one dissident.

Each time they were stood up to by officials, they immediately turned and continued moving toward another path. Prior this week, Benjamin Marshall and his family reported a $5 million notice of guarantee against the city.

"He went down the Jay Street station to retrieve his bag and while he was there he was punched multiple times by one of New York's Finest," said Marshall's dad Anthony Noel.

Police have set the official, doled out to the 84th Precinct, on non-requirement obligation as the examination proceeds.
