After a New York City police officer was suspended without pay for using a chokehold on an unarmed man in Queens, the Queens DA will not press any charges on the arrestee.
It began on a Sunday morning when a group of young men who were hanging out on the boardwalk were seen on police bodycam footage seen taunting police, sometimes calling them names.
Officers force the man to the ground.
Zeno says that the confrontation began because the young men were kicking cans on the beach and kicked one toward the officers.
