A pair of Occupy Wall Street protesters have sued New York Police Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna for pepper-spraying them in the face during a protest in September in Manhattan. The lawsuit states, “Anthony Bologna maced the plaintiffs as they were exercising their constitutionally protected rights, including freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.” The two protesters, Chelsea Elliott and Jeanne Mansfield, were captured on videotape being pepper-sprayed while surrounded by police netting.
