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:

Three Nationwide Insurance locations in NY were redecorated with red paint & #StopCopCity art & had their doors spray foamed shut today by autonomous community members who demanded that Nationwide cut ties with the Atlanta Police Foundation & cease insuring the Cop City Project. The video was sent to me anonymously.

Here's the communique:

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."





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."

#FreePalestine protesters marched in NYC yesterday for a #MLKDay March for Healthcare with stops at the United Nations HQ, Gracie Mansion, & medical institutions that have punished pro-Palestine healthcare workers. NYPD surveilled & repressed the march & made one brutal arrest.





#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.

Pret A Manger recently said they’re opening 40+ stores in Israel. So on January 12, multiple groups went into NYC Pret A Manger stores, liberated shelves full of sandwiches, & redistributed them to people in need.

“Hit ‘em where it hurts, and don’t stop until Palestine is free!” Here’s their communique:

There's A LOT of BS & copaganda in this article, but one good thing in it is that NYPD cops both young & old say that all the protests have been physically wearing them out & making them want to quit or go be cops somewhere else.

So keep the protests going!

The fascist NY Post is just doing copaganda for the fascist NY cop union. They're crying over cops resigning & retiring when NYPD has long had a huge headcount & needs to actively FIRE more cops. NYPD is literally larger than the next 3 big city police departments COMBINED.

Legal Aid Society released lists naming the 10 NYPD cops with the most lawsuits filed against them over the last decade & the 10 involved in the highest legal settlements.

All the cops named are still working as cops, & many have even been promoted. nydailynews.com/2023/09/25/rep… "One NYPD cop was part of a foot chase that left a 17-year-old boy paralyzed and cost the city $12 million but remains on the job. A second, known as “Bullethead,” has been sued 48 times costing taxpayers more than $1 million but was promoted anyway."

NYC's useless, pro-cop Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) will now let NYPD cops accused of misconduct to watch all video that could come up before being questioned by CCRB investigators. This will basically help cops avoid getting caught lying. gothamist.com/news/nypd-offi… "Officers are already able to view police body camera footage before their interviews with the Civilian Complaint Review Board, which investigates allegations of excessive force, offensive language, racial profiling and several other types of misconduct."

This NY Post article's headline claims "Injuries on NYPD officers up 32%" & almost all of the article whines about cops' injuries.

But buried deep in the article the NY Post admits "Injuries to subjects, at the hands of the NYPD, also saw a 38% hike this year compared to last." Keep in mind that the bar for what constitutes an injury for cops is likely very low (they often go to hospitals for ringing ears after they shoot someone!) while the bar for what constitutes an injury for civilians is likely much higher too.

An unknown person in the Bronx allegedly fired a few shots at NYPD cops.

NYC's Conflict of Interest Board says that bootlicking former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio has to pay NYC $474,794.20 to pay for the NYPD detail he had while he foolishly ran for president as well as a $155,000 fine for the 31 out-of-state trips he took on the campaign trail.
