The hacker group known as Anonymous has leaked information and personal details of high-ranking NYPD officer Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna, who pepper-sprayed Wall St. protesters over the weekend.
STORY: NYPD’s Pepper Spray And Mace Occupy Wall Street Protesters
Occupy Wall Street protesters have been clashing with NYPD officers for the past week, resulting in at least 100 arrests.
As Reported By The New York Daily News:
“Their purpose is to teach him a lesson,” said Brian Phillips, 25, one of the protesters camped out in Zuccotti Park. “A public trial in a sense.”
Bologna could not be reached for comment, but other police sources said he is the white-shirted cop seen spraying the protesters on widely circulated video.
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said the caustic substance was used properly against “people trying to interfere with police trying to disperse a crowd.”
He said the videos posted online showed just a snippet of Saturday’s faceoff between demonstrators and police.
