Just before New York’s 8 p.m. curfew Thursday, heavily armored New York Police Department officers on bicycles rushed a group of protesters in the Bronx who were demonstrating against police brutality. The officers charged with their batons out, Jake Offenhartz, a Gothamist reporter, tweeted. “Multiple people hit. Someone bleeding from the head,” he reported. Offenhartz jumped over a car and was able to escape because of his press badge, he said. “This wasn’t even a confrontation it was a trap.
Story continuesThe decision to extend New York City’s curfew, accompanied by the swift escalation in arrests and use of physical force against even peaceful protesters that the 8 p.m. hour brings, has created an acute crisis for de Blasio. The curfews are, as Rolling Stone noted, the first to be instituted in New York City since the Harlem Riot of 1943, which began after a white police officer shot a Black soldier.
Asked to respond to the numerous widely shared videos documenting police beating protesters with batons, de Blasio claimed he had not seen them. “If there’s anything that needs to be investigated,” he assured the reporter who asked the question, “it will be.” Hours later in Buffalo, New York, a man calmly approached police officers in riot gear, who shoved the man to the ground, WBFO journalist Mike Desmond reported. The man audibly hit his head on the concrete and was recorded lying motionless on his back with blood coming out of his ear. A Buffalo Police Department spokesperson said in a statement that “one person was injured when he tripped & fell” during a “skirmish” involving other protesters, a claim clearly contradicted by the recording.
This proves the mayors’ racism beyond a shadow of a doubt. People of NYC vote him out.
