Peaceful protests in East Meadow, New York, turned contentious Friday night when police were seen on video shoving a black protester to the ground.
A video of the protest that went viral on Twitter Saturday shows Terrel Tuosto of West Hempstead, a nearby town on Long Island, walking alongside Nassau County police officers.Officers repeatedly tell Tuosto to"move to the side" of the street and he responds,"we've got this whole street." 'The cross is a little lighter today'Officers tell Tuosto and other protesters again to remain on the southbound side of the street.
When asked by CNN whether he believes excessive force was used by his officers, Ryder said his officers"have acted extremely professional and this is evident by the peaceful outcomes of these protests." He said any complaints regarding Nassau County officers could be directed to Internal Affairs or the Nassau County District Attorney's Office.
