Following the December 12th march against Goldman Sachs, peaceful protesters were arrested in Winter Gardens, many were victims of police brutality. Occupy Wall Street protesters gathered at Liberty Plaza (Zuccotti Park) and we decided to go to the NYPD 7th precinct where the arrested Occupiers were being held. Around 50 people gathered outside to inquire about their comrades. In the video footage I entered the station to ask about those arrested and to make a written complaint about a 50 year old woman, Debra Goodman, that was thrown on the ground and bruised by Officer Wagner. I was threatened by a police officer and told to leave or risk being arrested. I leave but not before telling the police officer that the police should be ashamed for their disgusting police brutality against peaceful protesters excercising our Constitutional rights
