Student Protesting David Petraeus Punched in Head, Swarmed by Dozen Cops
By: Steve Horn Sunday September 22, 2013 9:27 pm
A new video was just released of police brutalizing one of the City University of New York (CUNY) students protesting a fundraiser featuring former CIA Director and CUNY Macaulay Honors College adjunct professor David Petraeus.
That video taken from a new angle than the ones previously released and first featured here on The Dissenter shows about a dozen police officers swarming a student, slamming him against the hood of a car and holding him there.
Once pinned down, the video shows a white-shirted officer punch him in the head a couple times and another officer punch him in the head from another angle. He also had his head held in place from the back of neck with a nightstick when pinned down on the ground after being pulled from the car. [*Note: This takes place 5:50 into the embedded video segment.]

When are these idiot going to wake up and realize that they are the butt-monkeys of the rich? I keep thinking it will become apparent, but it never does...
Must be the attraction of power: it's seductive to the type of person that sucks up to it.
