This case could have been a slam dunk for the NYPD, had it not been for one thing: the video showing police claims of disorderly conduct during an OWS protest to be completely untrue.
The NYPD has been caught repeatedly lying about the reasons for arresting and assaulting Occupy Wall Street protestors as well as violating numerous constitutional rights.
During the trial, the NYPD lied under oath, claiming that photographer Alexander Arbuckle was subject to a brutal arrest for blocking traffic.
The the defense shows a video of the entire incident which proved not only were the police lying, but it was NYPD were the only people blocking traffic and hence framed the arrested protestors.
