The lawyer of the 19-year-old woman who was punched by an NYPD officer in a viral video has shot down police claims that she was trying to interfere with her boyfriend's arrest and said the cop was the true aggressor. Attorney Jaime Santana said police had already placed 22-year-old suspect Elvin James in handcuffs when the cop hit his client Tamani Crum in Harlem on Tuesday afternoon. Footage shows NYPD Detective Kendo Kinsey manhandling the teenager and smacking her to the ground in a jaw-dropping exchange after Crum approached James as he was being arrested.
