February 24, 2025 – Cut Ties with Genocide, blockading Maersk Headquarters for Palestine – Copenhaguen

51 to 70 years old. Pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed

Cut Ties with Genocide, action in front of Maersk offices, Copenhagen – February 24, 2025

F. : “The police had no legitimate reason to spray us or detonate tear gas on us”

“We had implemented a blockade of the Maersk HQ office and were about to leave.
The police put on gas masks and started beating activists, spraying pepperspray and detonating tear gas grenades. Some tear gas granades were thrown in front of the leaving activist crowd, which was completely unnecessary.
I got a lot of tear gas into my mouth, nose, eyes and throat. It was painful and difficult to breathe.
The police had no legitimate reason to spray us or detonate tear gas on us. We were acting completely nonviolent and the Maersk office was already closed. The police had no reason to implement the eviction request submitted by Maersk.”

February 24, 2025 – Cut Ties with Genocide, blockading Maersk Headquarters for Palestine – Copenhagen

31 to 50 years old. Batonned and pepper-sprayed

Cut Ties with Genocide, action in front of Maersk offices, Copenhagen – February 24, 2025

J.: “The beatings of crowd members continued even as they shouted back “I am here peacefully”, “I have not hurt anyone”, “I am leaving, I’m leaving, stop” etc.”

“Protesters marched in formation and broke nonviolently through police lines before occupying an entryway, front lawn, etc. Protesters climbed buildings, trees etc. and hung banners before peacefully sitting and chanting for several hours. Police cleared the crowd with tear gas, pepper spray, and dogs before moving in to disperse the crowd with beatings.
I received a large (approx. 15×8 cm) bruise from being struck with a police baton while trying to shield smaller members of the crowd from the beatings. I feel like I remember the police officer stepping back to line up a particularly hard strike when he realised I was preventing him from hitting the small woman I was wrapping myself around.
The beatings of crowd members continued even as they shouted back “I am here peacefully”, “I have not hurt anyone”, “I am leaving, I’m leaving, stop” etc. The police continued to hunt members of the crowd for several days throughout the city, targeting people wearing keffiyehs and anyone who looked like they might own one. When the police caught people, even hours after the action, they treated them with intimidating force and rough manhandling. Journalists were also chased away with dogs and tea-gassed.”

Cut Ties with Genocide, action in front of Maersk offices, Copenhagen – February 24, 2025

O. : “Worst of all was the way they beat me repeatedly”

“While blockading the main entrance 3-4 police officers tried to pull me with them. I held fast to my comrades and being between two bollards my body was twisted and squeezed painfully. They also used a pain grip on my right hand.
Worst of all was the way they beat me repeatedly. They hit me mostly in my head as my backpack shielded my back. They also pressed down on my head and slammed it to the concrete underneath me. In the end they gave up and I was left curled up on the ground gasping for air.
Later in the protest, without provocation, they started to use pepper-spray and later tear gas. I was mostly victim to the tear gas. This happened while they beat and pushed protestors around us causing people to fall on each other and people being buried by the mass of people, myself included.
When I got free I fumbled through the pepper spray and barely dodged one that tried to spray me point blank. After that I got wet wipes from medics and escaped the area.
After the protest my whole body, especially my head hurt. The day after my neck is excruciatingly painful.”

February 24, 2025 – Cut Ties with Genocide, blockading Maersk Headquarters for Palestine – Copenhagen

31 to 50 years old. Batonned, pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed : damaged nerves on shoulder and arm

Cut Ties with Genocide, action in front of Maersk offices, Copenhagen – February 24, 2025

M.: “I have damaged nerves that need a treatment”

“During an action/occupation of the compagny (against the Palestinian Genocide – Arming Israel amry), more less than 800 activists invested the Maerks company. We remained on site for any degradation or lessening of aggression by workers, police officers, etc. We were protesting peacefully.
The police surrounded us for several hours. They tried, on several occasions, to make us leave by pulling us by the arms and legs. Gradually, they put on their helmets, gas masks and came with police dogs. They tried to break through the groups of people seated and ended up gassing us and hitting us with their batons.
We got up to leave. They surrounded us and hit us with batons while our backs were to them. I was at the end of the line and I received two blows from a baton, one on the shoulder and one on the arm. It hit a nerve and I temporarily lost all feeling in the last three fingers of my left hand. They continued to gas and fired tear-gas canisters. We fled towards a park about a hundred meters from where we were.
I went to see a doctor. I have damaged nerves that need a treatment. If the numbing sensations do not go away after a month, I will need to do additional tests.
The police had no reason to beat us. We were pacifists even if we refused to leave the place. We sang slogans.”

Caron Nazario, 05.12.2020. Gassed and pushed to the ground at gun point – Windsor (VA)

No Comments on Caron Nazario, 05.12.2020. Gassed and pushed to the ground at gun point – Windsor (VA)

December 5, 2020 – Windsor (VA)

27-year old. Pepper-sprayed repeatedly at point blank and forced to the ground at gun point

Last update: 20:01 - First published December 5, 2020

The Black and Latino lieutenant in the U.S. Army Medical Corps was driving to Petersburg, Va, and was wearing his Army uniform at the time, when he saw police lights flashing behind him. He drove to the gas station about a mile away to avoid pulling over on a dark road after he noticed a police car flashing its lights at him, so that he could be somewhere public and well lit while he interacted with them. He pulled over and placed his cellphone on his dashboard, as shown on the video.

Officer Daniel Crocker initiated the traffic stop because he believed that Caron’s SUV lacked a rear license plate, though a temporary tag is visible in officers’ body camera footage, according to the complaint. A police narrative filed as an exhibit in the lawsuit filed by Caron alleges that since the vehicle lacked plates, had dark tinted windows, and took a long time to stop after it traveled a short distance to a well-lit BP gas station before pulling over, the encounter was treated as a high-risk traffic stop.

Immediately, Windsor police officers Joe Gutierrez and Daniel Crocker can be heard yelling orders at him, while Caron remains calm and unthreatening:

Off. Guttierez: Keep your hands outside the window!
Caron Nazario: My hands are right here. What’s going on?
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now!
Off. Crocker: Get out of the car!
Off. Guttierez: Now!
Caron Nazario: What’s going on?
Off. Crocker: Get out the car!
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now! Get out of the car now!
Caron Nazario: I’m serving this country, and this is how I’m treated?
Off. Guttierez: You know what? Guess what. I’m a veteran, too. I learned how to obey!
Caron Nazario: That’s —
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car!
Caron Nazario: What’s going on?
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now!
Caron Nazario: What’s going on?
Off. Guttierez: What’s going on? You’re fixin’ to ride the lightning, son.
Caron Nazario: I’m sorry. What?
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now!
Caron Nazario: What’s going on?
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now! Get out of the car!
Off. Crocker: Sir, just get out the car. Work with us, and we’ll talk to you. Get out the car.
Off. Guttierez: You received an order. Obey it!
Caron Nazario: I’m — I’m honestly afraid to get out. Can I ask you what’s going —
Off. Guttierez: Yeah, you should be! Get out!
Caron Nazario: What’s going on?
Off. Guttierez: Get out!
Caron Nazario: What did I do?
Off. Crocker: Get out the car.
Off. Guttierez: Get out now!
Caron Nazario: I have not committed any crimes.
Off. Guttierez: You’re being stopped for a traffic violation. You’re not cooperating. At this point right now you’re under arrest for —
Caron Nazario: For a traffic —
Off. Guttierez: You’re being detained, OK? You’re being detained for obstruction of justice.
Caron Nazario: For a traffic violation, I do not have to be out the vehicle.
Off. Guttierez: Really?
Caron Nazario: You haven’t even told me why I’m being stopped.
Off. Guttierez: Really?
Caron Nazario: Get your hands —
Off. Guttierez: Get out! Get out of the car now! Get out of the car!
Caron Nazario: Get your hands off of me, please.
Off. Guttierez: Get out.
Caron Nazario: Get your hands off me.
Off. Guttierez: You know what?
Caron Nazario: Get your hands off me.
Off. Guttierez: Not a problem.
Caron Nazario: Get your hands off me.
Off. Guttierez: Back up, Daniel.
Caron Nazario: I didn’t do anything. Don’t do that.
Off. Crocker: Sir!
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now!
Caron Nazario: Don’t do that.
Off. Crocker: Hey! Stop.
Caron Nazario: Don’t do that.
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now!
Off. Crocker: Sir, look.
Caron Nazario: Don’t do — I’m trying to talk to you.
Off. Guttierez: Get out!
Off. Crocker: OK.
Caron Nazario: I’m trying to talk to you.
Off. Crocker: I’m going to talk to you.
Off. Guttierez: Get out!
Off. Crocker: Just get out of the car.
Caron Nazario: Relax. Can you please relax?
Off. Guttierez: Get out!
Caron Nazario: Can you please relax?
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car right now! Now!
Caron Nazario: This is not how you treat a vet. I’m actively serving this country, and this is how you’re going to treat me?
Off. Guttierez: Back up, Daniel.
Caron Nazario: I didn’t do anything.
Off. Guttierez: I got him.
Caron Nazario: Whoa! Hold on! What’s going — hold on. Watch it.
Off. Crocker: [inaudible] deployed.
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car! Get out of the car now!
Caron Nazario: That’s [bleep] up. That’s [bleep] up.
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now!
Off. Crocker: Sir, just get out of the car!
Caron Nazario: I’m trying to breathe.
Off. Guttierez: Get out of the car now!
Caron Nazario: That’s [bleep] up. That’s really [bleep] up.
Off. Guttierez: Get — open — get out of the car and get on the ground now, or you’re going to get it again!
Caron Nazario: I don’t even want to reach for my seat belt.

Caron was then pepper-sprayed at point-blank range by officer Guttierez, then forced to the ground and handcuffed. Caron’s hands remained up as he coughed and pleaded with the officers to undo his seatbelt and make sure his dog, Smoke, was not choking in the back. Liquid from the spray dripped down his hands and face. Once Caron was in handcuffs, the officers pulled him up and began to interrogate him. Medics also responded to provide assistance to him, who said his eyes were burning.

The video was released nearly four months after the actual incident and became viral with millions of views.

Later, Caron was threatened with charges that could have destroyed his military career if he tried to seek redress, according to the lawsuit. The officers allegedly told him he could leave without charges if he would just “chill and let this go.”

“He was terrified that if he was going to move his hands below where Officer Gutierrez could have seen them to undo that seatbelt, they would have murdered him,” said Jonathan Arthur, attorney for Caron Nazario. Arthur said that Caron had good reason to fear for his life: guns were drawn when police approached his car, and officers gave him conflicting demands, he said. In body camera footage, Gutierrez is heard telling him he was “fixin’ to ride the lightning, son,” which the lawsuit describes as a “colloquial expression for an execution,” particularly in reference to the electric chair.

He’s seeking $1 million in compensatory damages, claiming the two officers violated his rights guaranteed under the First and Fourth Amendments. The suit, filed in US District Court and first reported by the Virginian-Pilot, claims the officers used excessive force during the stop in December. Caron also accused the officers of threatening to destroy his military career by charging him with multiple crimes if he complained about their conduct.

This undated selfie photo provided by Rickia Young shows her lip. Attorney Kevin Mincey, who represents Young, says she went to retrieve her 16-year-old nephew from the area were a protest was occurring, and put her 2-year-old son in the car, lest she leave him home alone. Young took her usual route home only to drive into the fray as police clashed with demonstrators. Police told her to turn around. But as she attempted a K-turn, he said, officers swarmed her car, broke windows and injured her and her nephew as they pulled them from the vehicle. Young spent the next few hours at police headquarters and at a hospital, as she was bruised and bleeding from the head. Afterwards the National FOP posted a picture of the small boy in the arms of a female police officer after his mother was detained, saying he had been found wandering around barefoot during the protests. The post was soon taken down. (Rickia Young via AP)

Rickia Young, a Black mother, was attacked by a horde of Philadelphia police officers while she was driving an SUV with her 2-year-old son and teenage nephew on October 27 as the city was engulfed in protest over the police killing of Walter Wallace Jr. earlier that day.

Officers descended on the vehicle, broke its windows, assaulted and arrested her and separated her from her child. Rickia’s arrest went viral due to a shocking video of the police swarming her vehicle, and after the National Fraternal Order of Police — the country’s largest police union — posted a photo of her 2-year-old on social media, falsely claiming he “was lost during the violent riots in Philadelphia, wandering around barefoot in an area that was experiencing complete lawlessness.”

More than a month after the police attack, Rickia Young is demanding the officers involved be fired. “The police have not offered an explanation as to why they acted the way they did that night. They responded instead with a police investigation into Rickia,” says Kevin Mincey, her attorney.

“Once I got close enough to see the cops, I stopped. Like, I stopped right there. I was trying to turn around. But it was like people came inside the street and was up there throwing stuff at the cops.

Next you know, the cops started charging, started running. My nephew was saying, “Lock the doors! Lock the doors!” because they was banging on the car, saying mean things: “Turn this F-ing car around!” and “Get out the F-ing car!” And they had yanked my door open. But by that time, they had busted the back window. They pulled me out the car, and they busted the other window.

I was up there yelling at them, like, “My son is in the car! My son is in the car!” And once they busted that window, they had woke him up. And they was up there, like, doing whatever they was doing to me, hitting me, throwing me, macing me. My son, the look on his face, he was petrified. Petrified.
I was asking, like, “What’s going on?” like, you know, “Where’s my son? Where’s my son?” like screaming, like trying to find my son. The officer had the nerve to tell me, “He’s in a better place: DHS.” You can say anything you want about me, but calling me — like, saying something like that to me is an insult. They, as a whole, the Philadelphia Police Department, treated me as if I was an animal on the street. An animal don’t even deserve that.
He is petrified. And he’s only 2 years old. My mom and my nephew asked him what happened. He was saying, ‘[bleep] car. [bleep] door. Open door,’ and up there banging his hand, like as if — like, you know, the cops was banging on the car. He just kept repeating it like he’s still trying to tell the story. Like, he acts out. He bite his nails. He pull his hair now. He never did those things before. He’s traumatized. He is going through something. He knows words, but, you know, he can’t express to me how he’s feeling.”

According to her lawyer, “They held her vehicle — first, after losing her vehicle, not knowing where it was for several days, according to what they told us. And when they finally recovered it three or four days later, none of her belongings were inside. The hearing aids were gone. Her purse, her wallet were gone. And the car had even more damage than when she last saw it after they had smashed out all the windows.” […] There has been no — there has been no explanation. The only thing that they’ve even tried to do is kind of workshop a story where they were going to accuse her of trying to assault a police officer. That was done after they had taken her into custody. When Rickia was in the hospital and being held at police headquarters, on her wristband it referenced assault on police.

But you can see from the videos that were taken that night that Rickia’s car never moved that night. When she came down Chestnut Street and started to turn and turn around, she stopped right there. She didn’t back up, because there were people behind her. There were people running towards her. She didn’t do anything to try and assault an officer. And that’s ultimately, I think, why they ultimately chose not to charge her criminally, because they had no evidence to support such a charge.”

Fortunately for Rickia, there were two young women who were in the paddy wagon with her that night, and one of the women still had her cellphone on her, incredibly. And so, Rickia was able to get the young lady to call her sister, and Rickia was able to tell her sister and her mother then what happened out there on 52^nd Street that night. And then her mother and her sister went out to 52^nd Street to question the police.

At first, the police acted as though they didn’t know what they were talking about. And eventually they directed Rickia’s mother and sister to 15^th Street, which is about four miles away from where all this happened — and 15^th and JFK, to be exact, which is near where the Department of Human Services is here in Philadelphia.

And when they went down to 15^th and JFK, Rickia’s mother found her son sitting in the backseat of a police car still in his car seat. And when she touched his hair, glass fell out of his hair. There was still glass from the car in the car seat. The police were just allowing him to sit in that glass.

Rickia’s son had a large welt on his head. She had internal injuries. Her nephew had broken bones in his hand. So, it’s a slow recovery from the physical injuries and an even slower recovery from the emotional trauma that they’re going to be dealing with probably for the rest of their lives.

September 9, 2020, Bogotá

46-year-old. Restrain with knees on his back and repeatedly tased : deceased

Javier Humberto Ordóñez, a 46-year-old lawyer and father of two was allegedly violating coronavirus social distancing rules (Colombia had a six-month coronavirus pandemic lockdown that began in late March, with the harsh restrictions eased two weeks ago) when he became involved in an altercation with police in the early hours of Wednesday Sept. 9 morning.

In a video posted on social media by friends who were with him, Javier can be heard shouting, “Please, no more, I’m suffocating” as two police officers continued to restrain him with their knees on his back and repeatedly tasing him. Javier was taken into police custody early on Wednesday where family members have alleged he faced more police abuse.

He died in hospital soon after.

Bogota’s Mayor Claudia Lopez called the police brutality “unacceptable“, but also condemned the violence in Bogota that resulted in deaths. Colombia’s defence minister, Carlos Holmes Trujillo, said rioting had killed seven people in Bogota with more than 150 civilians and police injured across Colombia.

Protesters took to the streets on Wednesday night not only in Bogota, but also in the cities of Medellin, Pereida and Ibague, attacking police stations and public transport infrastructure.

The government announced the two officers involved have been suspended pending an investigation, and an autopsy on Javier would be carried out.
