They were wrong. A few days later, detectives privately told Lee's family it was a mistake. But... (1/4)

The department is refusing to publicly acknowledge the error, ignoring desperate pleas from Lee's family, who say their lives are at risk.

Instead, the NYPD quietly deleted the tweets and scrubbed Lee's photo from @NYPDTips and Crime Stoppers. But it's still over the internet

Listening to irate New York hedge fund billionaire Leon Cooperman on CNBC right now lamenting people "sitting at home getting their checks from the government, trading their stocks."

“This fair share is a bullshit concept," he shouts. "It’s a way of attacking wealthy people." "At the end of the day, the stock market reflects economic progress or lack thereof," Cooperman says. "This too shall pass."

The gulf between CNBC and Twitter is absolutely wild right now.

Washington Square Park not waiting for the AP call About two minutes after this 5 cops walked into the crowd, assessed the scene, and turned back

Brian Lehrer describes police violence this week, and asks @NYCMayor: Do you acknowledge that those things happened and say the NYPD acted wrongly?

"I don’t have information that tells me that."

De Blasio has this info because his press secretary witnessed it. He's lying, again "You have to take a stronger stance," begs a caller, describing unprovoked attack by police.

But @NYCMayor is wholly incapable of acknowledging that police have attacked peaceful protesters, time and time again. "The videos often are inconclusive."

At the Count Every Vote demo at Bryant Park, @lsarsour urges: “Let’s stay in the street, regardless of the outcome of this election.” March arrives in Washington Square Park, where they’re greeted by hundreds of cops and a constellation of police helicopters.

I’m in the Bronx tonight for #FTP4 — the first #GeorgeFloydNYC protest organized by @decolonize_this. Dozens of cops on every corner, stationed on a roof, circling in armor on bikes. Bronxites for NYPD Accountability Co-Founder Shannon Jones says @NYCMayor is culpable: “These are Democrats fucking up your lives. We already got bamboozled by the biracial kid. We fucked up on that one....but fool me once.”

Good evening from Central Park South, where several thousands have taken the street, chanting “Fuck your curfew/suck my dick.” Follow @sydneyp1234 and @GwynneFitz for more updates from Day Six in NYC MTA bus drivers gotta be the most consistently supportive group of non-protesters that I’ve seen

Eavesdropped on white shirts debriefing the unplanned kneel, clearly nervous about it

“Only 4 of us kneeled,” says Chief Robert Cattani. “Like anything on social media it’s either going to make or break us.”

Deputy Inspector Hellman: “I already had a rap scandal, now this” Regarding this video. Also Inspector McGinn, first to kneel, says into a phone: “they did it in Queens...I mean if it stops the riots.”

A couple hundred people at Barclays Center now, listening to Lulu Tolulope, 21, of East New York. “The police needs to change their interaction with the community, period. They get so hyped by the power behind the badge, they forget that they’re talking to actual people. Mister Softee driver just rolled by blaring “Imagine,” gets buzzed by police van
