An NYPD officer was seen on video appearing to kneel on a Black man's neck during an arrest in Queens last week, provoking comparisons to the police killing of George Floyd that ignited waves of protests nationwide this spring. SirCarlyle Arnold, a 34-year-old Long Island resident, was arrested in Jamaica, Queens on Friday. He was charged with misdemeanor reckless endangerment for allegedly operating an illegal ATV. Video of the encounter shared by Arnold's attorney shows one of the officers appearing to place his knee against the man's neck for several seconds. Multiple bystanders can be heard begging the officer to remove his knee. At least two of the officers involved in the arrest are not wearing face masks, in violation of the department's COVID-19 protocols.

In a phone interview, Arnold told Gothamist he was participating in a group ride-out for a recently deceased friend, and had no intention of defying the officers' orders. He said he was dismounting his quad bike when he was thrown to the ground unexpectedly by several officers. "I was not resisting at all. Im laying on the ground, there's no need to have your knee on my neck for over a minute," Arnold said. "You guys treated me like this for no reason after all this stuff that just went on?" He added he suffered knee and neck injuries in the confrontation, which he only noticed later, after the adrenaline wore off.
