Eavesdropped on white shirts debriefing the unplanned kneel, clearly nervous about it

“Only 4 of us kneeled,” says Chief Robert Cattani. “Like anything on social media it’s either going to make or break us.”

Deputy Inspector Hellman: “I already had a rap scandal, now this”
Regarding this video. Also Inspector McGinn, first to kneel, says into a phone: “they did it in Queens...I mean if it stops the riots.”
Chief of Community Affairs Nilda Irizarry warmed McGinn it might look bad, “like you’re trying to make a name for himself.”
(Deleted a tweet because chiefs don’t have badge numbers. My bad)
Really fascinating moment. Some of the organizers, who brought a PA system, orchestrated another kneel and handed mic to the cops. Many protesters aren’t having it
Here’s the moment before that
This just got ugly. One of many brutal arrests, seemingly sparked by a tossed water bottle:
Here’s another. Cops pile on and beat a woman after she shoves one. A lot of blood on the sidewalk, at least two people arrested, both appeared to be injured
Scary scene here. Cops sprinting down en masse after protesters. Provocation as little as a water bottle. Observers getting maced at close range
Bon fire on Fulton and Greene. A few bags of smoldering trash outside BAM as well
Soho is madness right now. Fires and Chanel carpeting the street. Police grabbing people at random as other sprint away with armfuls of bags
Cops bashing windows of cars and pulling out passengers with stolen merchandise.
Sohos luxury brands have been gutted. Gucci, Channel, Coach are all empty.
Here’s what the inside of a looted Supreme looks like
