Gallery: Tompkins Sq Park Legacy

Just outside Tompkins Sq Park, a riot geared policeman and three undercover officers are about violently to arrest a homeless-rights activist who was hitting a trash can as drum. Many human rights advocates had criticized NYPD for the use of excessive force as it confronted Tompkins protesters. New York, July 1989.
