The @NYtimes OWN REPORTING on June 1: "By morning, the devastation in Manhattan was unlike anything New York had seen since the blackout of 1977. Block after block of boutiques in the Flatiron district had their windows shattered and’ their goods looted."

"“There’s nobody alive today in law enforcement — and I’ve been around since the late ’60s — nobody has seen anything like this in this country,” said William J. Bratton, Mr. de Blasio’s first police commissioner."
