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.
One NYPD cop can be heard complaining about being handed 2 "collars" & admitting that a lieutenant handed him an arrested protester & that he "didn't even know what to write" or "what corner he was" or even "what happened."
NYPD cops can be heard complaining about their fellow cops' disorganization. One cop brags "I pushed the fucking legal guy." The cops admit they don't know if protesters or other cops injured them. One cop claims that he isn't sure if a "tranny" or another cop punched him.
NYPD cops can also be heard laughing about brutalizing a protester. They comment how you could hear the blows to the protester's body, call the protester "an Asian a-hole", & remark how the protester was crying, couldn't breathe, & say "100% he cracked his ribs."
In the next batch of audio captured by copwatcher Jose LaSalle, you can hear cops reminiscing about brutalizing protesters in 2020.

Then they realize that one of Jose's devices is recording & switch to complaining about protesters throwing stuff at them. instagram.com/reel/CsFSQGOp5… Image
You can hear the NYPD cops reminiscing about brutalizing protesters in 2020 on the West Side Highway & #FTP4 in the Bronx.

"We not getting sued for that one! We good," one cop jokes.
I think this is the West Side Highway incident the cops are referring to.
The cops then say that "the detective division" is "the worst." One cop asks "they just start swinging at everybody?"

Then another cop complains about getting questioned by the CCRB.

Then a cop realizes one of Jose's devices is on & says "Oh shit! Something's recording!"
Copwatcher Jose LaSalle of @CopwatchCPU even captured video of when the NYPD cops discovered that Jose's body cam was still recording.

You can see the cops trying to shut it off.
The cops aren't able to turn off Jose's body cam.

You can tell the cops realized that they've fucked up. They get quieter & change the subject.

"The guy from copwatch. Those are all his fucking cameras."

"Oh you got him?"

"Yea"

"OK so I guess this is gonna be a quiet ride."
The NYPD cops then change the topic. They complain about patrol cops not helping SRG make arrests. They also start claiming that protesters threw water at them. One cop then claims that Occupy Wall Street protesters would mix pee, shit, & cum in bottles & throw it at cops.
This isn't the first time Jose LaSalle has caught NYPD cops on audio being horrible.

Here's a piece I wrote a few years ago on when Jose caught the cops who falsely arrested him celebrating his arrest & trying to falsely pin a felony on him.

I just got to the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at NYU. Looks like cops put up barricades around the encampment. People are here outside the barricades to show solidarity with the students. NYU students demand that NYU divest from Israel, close NYU Tel Aviv, & get cops off campus.

“Over 40,000 dead!

Anarchists in NYC redecorated multiple Chase banks near Wall Street yesterday for its investments in Israeli weapons company Elbit Systems.

“Funder of genocide”, “Drop Elbit”, & “Free Gaza” were written in blood red paint, & the doors were chained & sealed shut with spray foam.

Chase Bank is the 6th largest stockholder in Elbit Systems. Even though NYPD tried to quickly take off the chains & foam & open the doors, much of the blood red paint still remains.

Here’s some more pics that were sent to me:

An anti-imperialist anti-colonialist actionist group in NYC dropped a banner reading "Gaza" & "فلسطين " in blood red letters from the highest level of the George Washington Bridge on Monday.

"We won’t stop until they stop, until Palestine and all of our people are free."


Image

The group locked the banner with 4 locks for every letter in GAZA & then threw the keys into the Hudson River.

"For the first time in the bridge's colonial history, a banner and the Palestinian flag waved for the cars that crossed the lower deck of the bridge."

NYPD Lt. Ben Kurian, one of the 2 cops who harassed & attacked migrant men in Times Square, once brutalized off-duty cop Larry Jackson & choked him w/ a baton.

The lawsuit cost NYC $5million.

Kurian was never disciplined for it. Instead, he was promoted. nbcnewyork.com/news/local/cop…
"According to a federal civil rights complaint, Lt. Ben Kurian, the cop seen on bodycam video wrestling with a migrant who was resisting arrest on a Times Square sidewalk, was once part of a group of officers accused of beating and choking a man in his own home back in 2011."
"According to the lawsuit, Kurian was responding to a 911 call about a disturbance at a birthday party when he allegedly used a baton to place the homeowner in a "choke hold" that was "so tight, he could hardly speak or breathe.""

#FreePalestine protesters marched in NYC yesterday for a #MLKDay March for Healthcare. There was a gaggle of pro-Israel (& pro-NYPD of course) trolls at Union Square where protesters were rallying. Lots of cops surrounded them to guard them. Protesters heckled the trolls.





#FreePalestine protesters marched in NYC yesterday for a #MLKDay March for Healthcare.

Along with heckling a gaggle of Zionist bigots who showed up to troll, protesters played pro-Palestine music.
