During last week's mass arrest of peaceful protesters in the Bronx, the NYPD detained at least 11 legal observers — an act "targeted harassment" that was unprecedented and deliberate, according to longtime attorneys. Here's new video of one such arrest gothamist.com/news/round-gre…
We sent @NYPDnews a list of detailed questions this morning. They responded an hour ago calling the claims baseless and stating that "non-essential workers were not permitted to be out after 8pm." Emails from @NYCMayorsOffice show legal observers were exempt from curfew.
Another legal observer says he was cornered by eight NYPD officers before curfew and accused of “illegal counter-surveillance against police.” They allegedly seized his notebook and mocked him for writing that some cops had obscured their badge numbers. gothamist.com/news/round-gre…

I’m in the Bronx tonight for #FTP4 — the first #GeorgeFloydNYC protest organized by @decolonize_this. Dozens of cops on every corner, stationed on a roof, circling in armor on bikes.
Bronxites for NYPD Accountability Co-Founder Shannon Jones says @NYCMayor is culpable: “These are Democrats fucking up your lives. We already got bamboozled by the biracial kid. We fucked up on that one....but fool me once.”
We stopped outside La Morada on Willis Ave, where owner Natalie Hernandez has been serving free meals during COVID-19 — and also, organizers says, faced harassment from ICE.

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.”
