Cop Runs Over Man's Head With Bike. Protester Hits Other Cop In The Head With A Bat During Breonna Taylor Protests In Seattle (Video)

Video After The Jump

A Seattle cop was filmed rolling his bicycle over a man’s helmeted head as he lay down on the street during violent Black Lives Matter protests sparked by the decision not to charge cops for Breonna Taylor’s death.

The protester — called “trumpet man” by others in the crowd — was shown prone on the ground more than once as groups of bike cops pushed the mob back after declaring the march an unlawful protest.

As the officers advanced another time, one appeared to have had enough — and steered his bike’s wheels over the protester’s white safety helmet, according to a CJTV Media livestream. The officer — who was walking the bike at the time — then appeared to use it to hit another man to stop him getting too close.

Seattle police said it was “aware” of the video.

“This matter will be referred to the Office of Police Accountability for further investigation,” the force said in a press statement.

It was not immediately clear if the protester was injured or had been charged, although videos on social media showed officers appearing to arrest him.

It came as police say “multiple officers” were injured — including one bike cop filmed getting hit over the head with a baseball bat — during a fiery night when 13 were arrested in what was ruled an unlawful assembly.

Police say they were “assaulted with bottles and rocks” and numerous fires were started in the street. They responded with tear gas and “blast balls,” the force said.
