Oh that crazy election night (11/5) a lot of people were excited. So excited, in fact, that a now notorious and somewhat violent scene happed in Williamsburg (Bedford Avenue and North 7th St in Williamsburg to be exact). The police became nasty, roughed up some people and arrested others. Were you there? Did you whip out your handy dandy iphone and take some shots quick snap? If so, Williamsburg110408 wants to see them. Even if you don’t have photos they’re taking statements too. They’re trying to help those that were arrested that night and none of the material will given to the press or published. Contact them at williamsburg110408@gmail.com. The video we’ve seen shows some pretty clear police misconduct and mild brutality.

Whoa – what I see is a large group of people completely ignoring the directives of the police telling them to leave and holding cell phones up to their faces in an attempt to incite the police. Shame on these kooks! Let them move somewhere that truly is a police state and let them stop bothering our overburdened police force!

anyone who doesn’t disperse when a cop tells you to should get what’s comin to them. the group was totally out of control and smelled of self entitlement.
sure that they’d go running to the cops asap too when some hispanic gang member kicks their silly c+ surburban asses.
what a bunch of losers.

Rich, spoiled, do-nothing hipster. Because of the bad economy, daddy is going to cut you off and you will be back living in the basement of your Massapequa house.

Hope they enjoyed their night in central booking. Oh how ironic.
Losers.

Why is that kid wearing a back pack? He’s not even sagging it like the cool kids do. Talk about a howlie bra!
All those kids need to get lives asap.

Not at Bedford & N 7th. Wouldn’t be caught dead in Billburg.
