"A protester who is one of five wanted by the NYPD says the capitalist system failed #JordanNeely.

'They’re bringing up charges against me for protesting,' the protester, who did not want to be named, told PIX11"  Local News NYC subway chok...
"“We have a First Amendment right; this is literally so outrageous,” the protester said. “They are bringing up charges against me for protesting but a murderer is walking free on the streets … This is so outrageous; Black lives and homeless lives matter.”"
Check out PIX11's weaselly copaganda here.

NYPD's claim about a molotov has received lots of skepticism so PIX11 says "NYPD found items needed to make a molotov cocktail" instead of saying "NYPD found a molotov."

And they then use this to paint *protests* as violent. The protests   A number of ...
"PIX11 News learned that two of the 14 protesters arrested on Saturday were initially charged with terrorism"

The NYPD literally tried to charge #JordanNeely protesters with terrorism! On Wednesday, as the NYPD a...

Cowatcher Jose LaSalle of @CopwatchCPU has released some audio he captured after NYPD arrested him at a #JordanNeely protest.

You can hear cops laughing about brutalizing protesters, calling protesters "trannies", & making some startling admissions. instagram.com/reel/CsFR_qWLs… Image
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.

A Harlem resident made more than 200 complaints of NYPD blocking sidewalks & bike lanes around the nearby precinct house in March, but of course, NYPD ignored the complaints & made no changes. nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-ha…
"Christopher Volpe, 30, learned of the danger first-hand as he was walking his dog, Captain, in January when he tried to cross Frederick Douglass Blvd. at W. 123rd St., just outside the NYPD’s 28th Precinct stationhouse."
"Volpe said his view was obstructed by a row of double-parked cars, and he didn’t see another vehicle coming until it was too late. The oncoming car clipped Captain, injuring his paw.

“I ran down the street after the car — the driver kept going.” Volpe said."

I've seen many videos of people using & making molotov cocktails. I don't have any problem with protesters using them. But either this is a VERY poorly made molotov cocktail (that probably wouldn't work in real life) or the NYPD are bullshitting (or both).
And considering the fact that the specific protest being referred to here was co-organized by (the very non-militant & non-radical) Warriors In The Garden, I'd suggest extreme skepticism of NYPD's claim here.
Reminder that NYPD is notorious for lying about supposed molotovs. I'd be totally fine with protesters throwing molotovs but unfortunately, in my almost 10 years of reporting, I have yet to see a confirmed case of a protester in NYC using a real molotov.

Eric Adams went on a fascist radio show & both he & the meathead fascist host whined about how much they hate when people, especially NYC Councilmembers, criticize NYPD. Adams even claimed that criticizing cops is harmful to children. nydailynews.com/news/politics/…
"Mayor Adams didn’t challenge the notion of creating a blacklist of people who are “bad mouthing” the NYPD during a Tuesday morning talk show appearance that touched on ongoing criticism of the department."
"Adams, who was speaking on WABC’s “Sid and Friends,” was responding to remarks from the show’s host Sid Rosenberg, who attacked City CouncilwomanTiffany Caban for sharing a how-to-guide on how children should interact with police."

Jordan Neely was mentally ill & homeless. He didn't attack anyone. He just yelled about how he was hungry & tired & threw his jacket on the floor. Then a man put him in a chokehold. Two other men helped hold Neely down. Neely died. The killer was later released with no charges!
The fascist NY Post makes sure to not name the killer. They only say that he's 24 years old & a Marine veteran. The NY Post definitely knows his name too cause they reached to him for comment. Dramatic new video shows a ...The straphanger — who sourc...
"The 24-year-old passenger stepped in after the vagrant, identified by sources as Jordan Neely, 30, began going on an aggressive rant on a northbound F train Monday afternoon, according to police and a witness who took the video."
