Report: Police Assaulted, Arrested Woman Who Shot Eric Garner Video 
--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Meanwhile, a Staten Island woman has filed a lawsuit saying police
assaulted and falsely arrested her in retaliation for filming Garner's
arrest. According to the New York Daily News, Taisha Allen says police
threw half her body over a fence and twisted her arms after calling her
"that [b-word] that filmed the Eric Garner video." Ramsey Orta, who also
filmed Garner's arrest, has been arrested multiple times and claims
police have harassed him.
