NYPD arrest and drag unconscious Black man as neighbors go off
A disturbing video of New York City police officers dragging an unconscious Harlem man into a waiting police car has now sparked public outrage.
According to Patch.com, the clip shows community members having a shouting match with police over the July 16th arrest of Keith Woody, whose limp body can be seen being dragged from a house, then dropped on the street next to a police cruiser. Officers eventually lift the young man’s unresponsive torso into the backseat of the patrol car as horrified neighbors protest in disbelief and beg for officers to call an ambulance.
“You don’t knock nobody out like that,” one woman pleads. “He’s out unconscious in 100 degree weather.”
“He can’t even stand up,” another bystander yells, as officers dragged Woody’s body into the police car.
“He did nothing wrong,” the crowd shouts.
Even though police assured the public that an ambulance would be arriving, this ultimately was untrue. Woody’s limp body was thrown in the back of the police care, which quickly drove away.
