Treatment of protesters
Disputes with protesters in several events culminated in a burst of media coverage of Bologna's actions during the Occupy Wall Street event in September 2011.
Bologna was on duty during a boycott of Korean grocery stores by black activists in 1990 and during the Crown Heights Riots of 1992
A May 2001 Indymedia report, subsequently cited by Cryptome, called Bologna "notorious for his previous treatment of protesters", and describing an allegation by a member of People's Law Collective that Bologna shoved two protesters, left, then returned to arrest them.
In 2004, Bologna faced civil rights complaints for his role during the Republican Convention held in New York City, allegedly committing false arrest and civil rights violations.
On September 24, 2011, video was widely publicized which showed Bologna apparently macing peaceful, young female members of the "#OccupyWallStreet" protest movement on September 24, 2011 without any visible provocation.
