Our self-proclaimed ‘protectors’ are cracking…
Take a good look at the following group of photos, which were taken on April 15th, 2012. They were taken by Paul Weiskel.
The photographs show a Boston Police Department cop, identified as Vaden Scantlebury, apparently preparing to choke an Occupy Boston protester. The ‘cop’ – or is that, ‘thug’? – then does his best to intimidate a photographer recording these telling moments for posterity. In the last photo of this series, Scantlebury even appears to getting assistance with this intimidation from a trusted friend.
The Boston Police are said to be investigating the matter. Don’t expect much there.
But the ACLU also is looking into the incident…which means there’s some chance Scantlebury will actually be held accountable for his actions.
Below, the Spark is releasing a number of photos that appear to document this occurrence.
