The standoff in question happened Tuesday as police said officers were trying to arrest a man for attempted murder on West 136th Street near Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard. Police said at least three people were arrested for trying to interfere with the arrest, including a 19-year-old woman, Tamani Crum, who is seen in the video walking toward officers and pushing a detective. The video shows the detective responding with a right hook to Crum’s head. She is thrown backwards on impact and ends up hitting her head on the pavement. Crum, a hairdresser, was initially arrested by the NYPD on multiple charges, including assault on a police officer. In an updated statement Thursday, the department said an obstruction charge had been filed. The NYPD launched an investigation after a horrifying video showed a woman being punched by an officer she had pushed. He further clarified his narrative. Officers were “attempting to arrest an individual when a struggle ensued and a crowd formed around the officers. The individual was carrying an illegal, loaded Polymer 80 semi-automatic handgun known as a ‘ghost gun’ in his waistband.” NYPD officers removed another illegal firearm gun – and the person who was brazen enough to carry it in public – from the streets of our city,” the statement said. He said the detective tried to fend off Crum with an “open hand” and that the woman was conscious after she fell. Officers said she was taken to the hospital at her own request. Two other women were also charged with obstruction. “This incident, including the conduct of the officer who used force, is under ongoing review by the Home Affairs Bureau’s Force Team. All police CCTV footage, as well as other video surveillance from the area and witness statements, is being gathered and reviewed.” said NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell. “While the NYPD is committed to the safety of all New Yorkers, we are also committed to transparency. Therefore, I have expedited the release of the officers’ body-worn camera.” The Manhattan district attorney’s office said Thursday it will prosecute her on one count of second-degree obstruction of government administration, a misdemeanor. Crum was released on her own recognizance after her arraignment Wednesday. The lack of a prosecutorial assault charge is likely a matter of law. The prosecution of such a charge requires proof that the defendant’s conduct resulted in bodily harm. The district attorney’s office says its investigation into the entire case is ongoing. But the detectives’ union said it was disappointed by the response. Crum’s mother is much scarier than the video. She says she can’t even bring herself to watch it, still angry from the bruises she claims are on her daughter’s body because of what happened. “I’m shocked to see this happen to my daughter, it’s so painful for a mother to see this,” Julia Crump told NBC New York exclusively. “They’re just violating these children’s rights. He should never, ever, ever put his hands on her or any woman. He’s wrong.” Rev. Stephan Marshall of the National Action Network had another question “The question is: When did knocking someone else unconscious become a crowd control tactic?” he asked a crowd gathered for a rally outside the precinct. The detective, Kendo Kinsey, has had six complaints against him over the past 10 years, according to the Civilian Complaints Review Board (CCRB), which investigates allegations of police misconduct by citizens. None of the allegations were substantiated. An attorney for the Crum family, Jamie Santana Jr., claims the conduct in this incident was unjustified. “This must stop and we seek full accountability in this action,” the lawyer said. The detective union says it is considering a lawsuit against Crum as well.
