RT spoke to one of the arrested rally participants.
The video shows a demonstrator being pressed against the pavement by several policemen, with one of the captors punching the man’s exposed kidney area.

Then I proceeded to get up. And when I looked to the back of me there were cops on top of my other comrade.

Jawatankuasa Ad Hoc Terhadap ketenteraan CUNY, penganjur perhimpunan tersebut, mengeluarkan kenyataan akhbar yang menyifatkan apa yang berlaku pada hari Selasa sebagai “kejam, serangan provokasi polis semasa protes aman” dan dinamakan akaun saksi sebagai bukti itu.
“Sebagai pelajar melaungkan ‘Perang Jenayah Petraeus Daripada CUNY Sekarang,” saya terkejut apabila melihat beberapa pegawai polis merebut dan menganiaya salah satu daripada penunjuk perasaan, “kata City College pelajar Yexenia Vanegas, menurut siaran media. “Ini benar-benar tdk bererti, sebagai penunjuk perasaan jelas bahawa mereka berada di sana untuk mempertahankan universiti dalam protes yang aman.”
Penglibatan Petreaus ‘dengan universiti telah bertemu dengan kritikan yang luas daripada pelajar, fakulti dan staf yang mengatakan mereka tidak mahu kolej mereka untuk menjadi tuan rumah orang yang menyelia peperangan, serangan drone (berdengung) dan taktik penyeksaan yang didakwa di Timur Tengah. Ahli akademik dan pelajar siswazah di CUNY telah mengeluarkan kenyataan menyeru semua caj yang akan digugurkan terhadap 6 pelajar ditangkap oleh NYPD .
“Kami dengan tegas menyokong usaha pelajar-pelajar CUNY yang menentang cubaan oleh kerajaan Amerika Syarikat dan pentadbiran CUNY untuk menjadikan universiti menjadi terkenal “kolej perang” dengan pelantikan Petraeus. Beliau bertanggungjawab untuk kematian dan kemusnahan banyak sekali di Iraq dan Afghanistan sebagai panglima perang dan ketua CIA,” surat itu berbunyi .
Rancangan Petreaus ‘untuk memulakan kerjaya baru sebagai profesor pelawat untuk CUNY telah bertemu dengan kritikan musim panas ini. Pada bulan Julai berita muncul beliau akan menerima gaji 6 angka untuk kerja. Berikutan kemarahan meluas peguam bekas ketua CIA mengumumkan bahawa umum akan mengisi jawatan itu hanya $ 1.
“Sama ada yang dibayar $ 200,000 atau $ 1, pembunuh besar-besaran ini tidak harus dibenarkan untuk mengajar di CUNY,” risalah memanggil protes September berbunyi.
Demonstrasi itu berlaku semasa acara kutipan derma, di luar Macauley Kolej Kepujian CUNY di mana Petraeus telah dilantik untuk mengajar kelas mengenai dasar awam.
The Ad Hoc Committee Against the Militarization of CUNY, the organizer of the rally, issued a press release which described what happened on Tuesday as a “brutal, unprovoked police attack during a peaceful protest” and cited eyewitnesses accounts as proof of that.
"As students were chanting 'War Criminal Petraeus Out of CUNY Now,' I was shocked to see several police officers grab and brutalize one of the demonstrators," said City College student Yexenia Vanegas, according to the press-release. "This was completely unprovoked, as demonstrators made clear that they were there to defend our university in a peaceful protest."
Petreaus’ involvement with the university has been met with broad criticism from students, faculty and staff members who say they don’t want their college to host the man who oversaw wars, drone strikes and alleged torture tactics in the Middle East. Academics and graduate students at CUNY have released a statement calling for all charges to be dropped against the six students arrested by the NYPD.
“We emphatically support the efforts of these CUNY students to resist the attempts by the U.S. government and the CUNY administration to turn the university into an infamous “war college" with the appointment of Petraeus. He is responsible for countless deaths and innumerable destruction in Iraq and Afghanistan as a war commander and chief of the CIA,” the letter reads.
Petreaus’ plans to begin a new career as a visiting professor for CUNY have been met with criticism this summer. In July news emerged he would receive a six figure salary for the job. Following widespread indignation the ex CIA chief’s lawyer announced that the general would fill the post for just $1.
“Whether being paid $200,000 or $1, this mass murderer must not be allowed to teach at CUNY,” a leaflet calling for September protests reads.
