NYPD Officer KOs Harlem Resident Tamani Crum. Was it justified? - Video

Outraged community members slammed an NYPD detective in Harlem on Wednesday after viral video showed him knock a woman to the ground before she was arrested.

As officers arrested a man in connection with an attempted murder, several people “interfered by physically assaulting numerous officers,” police said. Cops ended up arresting not only 23-year-old Elvin James — the original suspect — but also 19-year-old Tamani Crum and 27-year-old Faith Harrell.

Viral video of the confrontation shows Crum being knocked to the ground by a single hit from NYPD Detective Kendo Kinsey. Crum’s mom and grandma criticized Kinsey’s actions, noting he’s much bigger than the 19-year-old woman. They said regardless of what she did, Kinsey was wrong.

“He pushed her. She moved his hand. She did not hit him,” Julia Crum, the woman’s grandma said. “He cold knocked her out. He’s no better than the people who’re knocking people out in the street and leaving them for dead.”

Crum was arrested on charges of assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration. Her family wants to see Kinsey face some form of consequences.

There have been six Civilian Complaint Review Board complaints filed against Kinesey dating back to 2011, records show. Two of the claims were substantiated by the CCRB.
