Update:
Eric Linsker, is, wait for it…an Occupy leader, seen here in a Nov. 15, 2011 picture with another violent criminal Occupier, Cecily McMillan, who got jail time for belting a cop in the eye at a protest in NYC.
Looks like Linsker was allegedly carrying on the proud radical tradition of attacking cops.
Update:
Via Pix11:
Eric Linsker, a 29-year-old from Brooklyn, was arrested and charged with assault of police officers, robbery, reckless endangerment, rioting and possession of marijuana. He is currently being held at the 5th precinct in Lower Manhattan.
The assaulted officers were trying to arrest a man who was attempting to toss a garbage can onto officers below. They were treated for bumps, bruises and a broken nose. A backpack full of hammers and a mask was found.
“Our officers have shown extraordinary restraint and patience in the face of verbal abuse and much more,” O’Neill said. He continued, saying that that sort of thing comes with the territory of protests, but they draw the line at an assault on an officer.
But de Blasio: “mostly peaceful”.
THIS JUST IN: Mayor @BilldeBlasio: "We will not allow a small contingent of agitators to bring disorder and violence to these protests."
