After a black man knelt before Seattle police in front of a barrier, a white man got in front of the kneeling man to protect him and he was attacked by police, according to the filmer of this shocking clip from Thursday (June 4).

Footage shows the man is seen being pepper-sprayed at very close range, tackled and surrounded by police.

"They give a knee to the neck, much like George Floyd," said Kenya, the filmer, in reference to the 46-year-old Minneapolis man whose death at the hands of police sparked the global protests raging currently.

"This is clearly police brutality and excessive force, and they tried to use their bikes to hide it," said Kenya, the filmer.
