The New York City Police Department launched an internal investigation after a video posted to social media showed at least eight officers arresting a 20-year-old man in Brooklyn, drawing criticism about the police's handling of the incident.
After the video hit social media, protests occurred outside the police precinct. The man was only charged with misdemeanors and a violation. His lawyer said he was not resisting arrest.
According to the NYPD, Fitzroy Gayle and another unidentified male were observed inside a Brooklyn park smoking a marijuana cigarette last Wednesday and fled the location when approached by police.
