Skip to 1:19 to see the pepper spray. I hope that juxtaposing these two videos provides a clear view of what went down. Here's a link w/ timestamp:

UPDATE (Oct 18): Bologna faces an internal disciplinary charge that could cost him 10 vacation days.

Audio from the left channel is from the left video, and similarly for right.

This incident occurred on September 24, 2011 near the corner of 12th St. and University Pl.

Videographer on the left is Jeanne Mansfield of the Boston Review. You can read her story at http://bostonreview.net/BR36.5/jeanne_mansfield_occupy_wall_street.php

The cop who used the pepper spray is widely believed to be Deupty Inspector Anthony Bologna.

  • Great work with this video. This is the clearest presentation I've seen of this event yet. It really shows how Sgt. Bologna just barreled up to the women standing there and walked away like a coward.

  • at 0:44 - that is NOT a running punch - that is a running nightstick to the shins. PHARK!

  • Did they even read the people their rights? Did they tell them why they were being arrested?

    Also, ten vacation days for macing innocent people?

  • This video makes me sick! I can't believe the police are just pepper-spraying these peaceful protestors-they're asking for a civil war.

  • @ 1:02 the girl is pulled from her hair by the inspector.

  • @566dave After watching the video frame-by-frame, I still have no idea what you're talking about. Furthermore, I'm annoyed that you refuse to answer basic questions. The leftmost video barely shows the girls. D.I. Bologna delivers two main blasts of pepper spray to the crowd of women. Perhaps you are confused about the source of the first blast; or more likely you are just trolling. I will give you no further attention until you answer point-by-point each question from my penultimate post.

  • @yzarc314 will do.  I hope to be able to spend the time this weekend.

    Otherwise, it will have to wait until after the 25th

    It's not that difficult to see. Slow it down or use your pause button if you need to.

  • @566dave I still do not see it. Please answer all my remaining questions from my previous post.

  • @yzarc314 Concentrate only on the left.

    Great job! This should win an award!
