New: I hear from a person that attended the weekly trans-led #Stonewall protests that was marred by NYPD intervention. Kettling, shoving elected officials @JumaaneWilliams with bikes, and leaving attendees bleeding is just the beginning. @lgbtqnation lgbtqnation.com/2020/11/trans-…
“When asked about police violence this week on a regular radio appearance, @NYCMayor said he “didn’t have any information on that” despite @nycpa Williams’ presence – in addition to his own press secretary’s attendance at a protest the night before.”
“When pressed by a caller, de Blasio would only say that “if people feel” that there is “militarism” coming from the NYPD, he would step in.”
“Bike cops were lined up on the curb and would be riding along with it, so that basically they were a fence on both sides...we kept running into intersections where the cops would then block us from going.”
