NEWYou can now hear Fox News articles. A video shows New York City Council member Chi Osse being arrested and thrown to the floor in Brooklyn for protesting against a woman’s forced eviction. Osse was reportedly defending a constituent who faced eviction from her home after 60 years. The office of the 28-year-old stated in a press release that “Black displacement is occurring right now in Bed-Stuy,” and his constituent was “one of many Black homeowners fighting deed fraud in Brooklyn.” “Motherf —–,, that’s a Councilman, what are you doing?” A man can be heard screaming in the chaotic footage of Osse’s arrest on Wednesday. NEW YORK CITY LOSED RESIDENTS AT ALL INCOME LEVELS OVER THE LAST YEAR, STUDY FINDINGS I urge those who were taken in captivity to follow suit. I know that there are two people who did the same thing as me, and who have reported to be dealing with a concussion at this moment,” Osse stated following his arrest. “I hope that they are held accountable.” He added, “I hope the police commissioner will take a close look at their past and their histories. I also hope they take our complaints very seriously.” Deed theft is described by the New York City Department of Finance as “when criminals record false deeds, mortgages, or other liens on a property without its owner’s consent or knowledge”. Deed fraud can affect anyone, but it is most common among seniors, immigrants and people of colour. A police spokesperson told Fox News Digital the New York City Sheriff’s Office, along with NYC Marshals, were at an address in Brooklyn to “carry out an eviction” and determine if a person, who was a Georgia ward and was supposed to be living in Georgia, but hadn’t for several years, lived at the residence.

However, when they arrived protesters were blocking the building. According to a spokesperson for Fox News Digital, “As shown on body-worn video footage, Council Member Osse’s arrest occurred after two protesters had been arrested for blocking the entrance to the building.” The spokesperson said that when the two protesters were arrested, Osse wasn’t in front of the building. “Osse, after the two people were arrested, pushed past officers who tried to stop him from standing in the front of the gate and then began to block the entrance. “Police said that an officer verbally engaged Osse before trying to arrest, but Osse physically resist “attempts” to take his arms and hands, appearing to flail both his arms and his hands to prevent officers restraining.
