Video showed NYPD officers punching pro-Palestinian protesters in Brooklyn this weekend. Mayor Eric Adams praises 'how they handled an unruly group of people.'

New York Mayor Eric Adams defended the police department's response to a pro-Palestinian street demonstration in Brooklyn over the weekend, calling video of officers repeatedly punching men lying prone on the ground an “isolated incident.” “Look at that entire incident,” Adams said on the “Mornings on 1” program on the local cable news channel NY1.

It also showed one protester sitting on the roof of a moving bus waving a Palestinian flag. “We will not accept the narrative that persons arrested were victims, nor are we going to allow illegal behavior,” NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry said in a statement on X.
