Jose LaSalle of @CopwatchCPU has released audio he captured after NYPD arrested him at a #JordanNeely protest.
In the 1st 2 min, the cops laugh about brutality, make sure their body cams are turned off, & say they worried about pushing each other into the train tracks.
Note: when the cops refer to "bodies" & "collars", they're referring to arrested protesters.
One NYPD cop can be heard complaining about being handed 2 "collars" & admitting that a lieutenant handed him an arrested protester & that he "didn't even know what to write" or "what corner he was" or even "what happened."
NYPD cops can be heard complaining about their fellow cops' disorganization. One cop brags "I pushed the fucking legal guy." The cops admit they don't know if protesters or other cops injured them. One cop claims that he isn't sure if a "tranny" or another cop punched him.
NYPD cops can also be heard laughing about brutalizing a protester. They comment how you could hear the blows to the protester's body, call the protester "an Asian a-hole", & remark how the protester was crying, couldn't breathe, & say "100% he cracked his ribs."
In the next batch of audio captured by copwatcher Jose LaSalle, you can hear cops reminiscing about brutalizing protesters in 2020.
Then they realize that one of Jose's devices is recording & switch to complaining about protesters throwing stuff at them. instagram.com/reel/CsFSQGOp5…
You can hear the NYPD cops reminiscing about brutalizing protesters in 2020 on the West Side Highway & #FTP4 in the Bronx.
"We not getting sued for that one! We good," one cop jokes.
I think this is the West Side Highway incident the cops are referring to.
The cops then say that "the detective division" is "the worst." One cop asks "they just start swinging at everybody?"
Then another cop complains about getting questioned by the CCRB.
Then a cop realizes one of Jose's devices is on & says "Oh shit! Something's recording!"
Copwatcher Jose LaSalle of @CopwatchCPU even captured video of when the NYPD cops discovered that Jose's body cam was still recording.
You can see the cops trying to shut it off.
The cops aren't able to turn off Jose's body cam.
You can tell the cops realized that they've fucked up. They get quieter & change the subject.
"The guy from copwatch. Those are all his fucking cameras."
"Oh you got him?"
"Yea"
"OK so I guess this is gonna be a quiet ride."
The NYPD cops then change the topic. They complain about patrol cops not helping SRG make arrests. They also start claiming that protesters threw water at them. One cop then claims that Occupy Wall Street protesters would mix pee, shit, & cum in bottles & throw it at cops.
This isn't the first time Jose LaSalle has caught NYPD cops on audio being horrible.
Here's a piece I wrote a few years ago on when Jose caught the cops who falsely arrested him celebrating his arrest & trying to falsely pin a felony on him.
