Family claims police disrupted memorial service for late relative

video into our newsroom showing the moment a memorial service is interrupted by police. You see it right there. News 12's Karina Gary speaking to the Brooklyn family there who says what happened was an abuse of power by police. For Ebony and her family, walking back inside these doors is not easy. I felt like I was being targeted. Somebody actually sent them to come and beat me up the way I got beat up. It was exactly a week ago when they were here at 324 the venue celebrating the life of their late cousin. Having food, listening to music, dancing, you know, celebrating the life that once was here. The night was cut short when they say police came barreling through the door. I seen them like just pulling the wires and stuff from the DJ equipment and breaking up his stuff. I went and I asked what happened and the moment I asked what happened it was like the male officer just like reeled back and pushed me and I stumbled back. Video shows the moment the officer shoves Ebony while telling her to back up. A short while later you see another officer push her up against the wall and handcuff her. And I'm like for what like what's the reason and that's when a female officer had kicked me in my leg and my leg had went out and I went down. Pictures show bruises along Ebony's arms and legs which she says were caused by multiple officers kicking and punching her throughout the night. She also now walks with a cane due to a dislocated knee. Thought I wasn't gonna come home. According to police, five people including Ebony were taken into custody that night. They say multiple people refused to listen to their orders to vacate the premises and that officers feared for their safety after they say two people displayed closed fists towards them. Those five people were charged with multiple offenses but Ebony and her family say the event was peaceful until police arrived. They are the one that made it disorderly. Nobody else. We nicely asked them multiple times what was the problem. In Bed-Stuy, Karina Gary, News 12 Brooklyn.
