VIDEO: Trans BLM Protester Dropped By Cop’s Left Hook
At a Saturday protest in a Pittsburgh borough, one BLM protester was punched in the face after she laid her hands on an officer in an attempt to stop an arrest.
The Saturday protest in Wilkinsburg was held in honor of Jim Rogers, who died after police officers used a stun gun on the 54-year-old man in connection with an alleged bicycle theft last fall, according to WTAE.
The cinematic photo of #BLM protester Vuestro Merced getting punched by a Wilkinsburg officer after trying to stop an arrest has gone viral. Merced was quickly released from jail & people are using the incident to fundraise cash for the militant activist. pic.twitter.com/hY1jqSC8yS

As the two continue to struggle, the officer eventually appears to punch Merced in the face, dropping the protester to the ground, as an officer with a police canine wearing a muzzle got close. Officers eventually arrests Merced, as well as the other female protester.
I get major Chris Rock & Will Smith Oscar vibes from this viral photo. (Context: Pittsburgh #BLM protesters yesterday threatened & put their hands on black cops to prevent them from carrying out duties & arrests). https://t.co/wFMx8iVmAe
