Fire him In the footage, Tamani Crum can be seen having a scuffle with officers, one of whom the New York Post identified as Kendo Kinsey. Crum seemingly moves towards Kinsey before being punched in the head, an action netizens have labeled as excessive due to the drastic size difference between the officer and the 19-year-old woman. The NYPD charged Tamani Crum with resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration, and assaulting an officer. She is also accused of attacking another woman at the scene, 27-year-old Faith Harrell. Harrell also faces the same charges as Crum.

The Harlem NYPD fight was condemned by Crum s family

In response to the altercation, members of Crum's family have condemned Kendo Kinsey and the NYPD for the way the situation was handled. Ron Starr@rstarr0Kendo Kinsey deserves an award!5Kendo Kinsey deserves an award! In an interview with CBS2, Crum's grandmother, who did not wish to be named, said: "He cold knocked her out. He's no better than the people who is knocking people out in the street." Crum's mother, whose name was also withheld, echoed these sentiments, implying that police brutality is common. She said: "The officer involved in this case was approximately three times her body weight and siz. This was unnecessary and it's unacceptable. This has to stop." She went on to describe Crum's injuries, adding: "It's bad. Her back, she's very sore. She's hurting. And her head, she has a big knot in her head."
