Wanted to compile some of the police atrocities from the last couple nights. This is the brutality that deBlasio is proud of. This is the violence that Shea is proud of. These two must be removed and we must #DefundTheNYPD so they can never inflict this kind of pain on NYC again.
By now everyone& #39;s seen these cops plowing their SUVs through scores of protestors, inches from killing many of them. https://twitter.com/StefSimanowitz/status/1266896495485345792">https://twitter.com/StefSiman...
And here they are moments before barreling through crowds nearly hitting many. https://twitter.com/zzelladonatella/status/1266883979342417926">https://twitter.com/zzelladon...
The night before some psychopath cop swung his door open while speeding down Classon to hit someone with it. https://twitter.com/NickAtNews/status/1266537738364477446">https://twitter.com/NickAtNew...
Here is a sequence of videos showing some malicious cop chasing then shoving a young woman to the ground, causing a seizure requiring hospitalization. https://twitter.com/zayer_dounya/status/1266581597760831489">https://twitter.com/zayer_dou...
This one from Friday shows a legion of cops who decided they were tired of patiently watching a peaceful assembly so they decided to instigate violence in the crowd. https://twitter.com/j0ncampbell/status/1266514356071735296">https://twitter.com/j0ncampbe...
This thread shows how a peaceful protest devolved into chaos the moment cops chose to plow through and start attacking protestors. https://twitter.com/BrooklynSpoke/status/1266832574070034432">https://twitter.com/BrooklynS...
Here we see some hotheaded lieutenant shove a protestor unprovoked. https://twitter.com/sethmpk/status/1266717404509372418">https://twitter.com/sethmpk/s...
Even by NYPD standards this one was a particularly sickening display of sadism. A cop rips down the mask of a protestor with his hands in the air to pepper spray his face at point blank range. https://twitter.com/Sifill_LDF/status/1266928343141752833">https://twitter.com/Sifill_LD...
Speaking of pepper spray, this is NYS Assemblywoman
Dianna Richardson at the receiving end, along with her Senate colleague, @zellnor4ny. I wonder if assaulting elected officials is what BdB means when he says he& #39;s proud of police? https://twitter.com/GwynneFitz/status/1266522692326428672">https://twitter.com/GwynneFit... https://twitter.com/zellnor4ny/status/1266802303807500288">https://twitter.com/zellnor4n...

Then some old fashioned police brutality, beating a crowd of protestors. https://twitter.com/ShimonPro/status/1266136557871869952">https://twitter.com/ShimonPro...
And let& #39;s not forget that underlying all of this is the deeply engrained white supremacy that permeates throughout all US institutions, but most acutely in the police. He& #39;s a cop flashing a "white power" sign. https://twitter.com/chadloder/status/1266994073501487104">https://twitter.com/chadloder...
So how about some accountability? Oh right, cops are covering their names and badge numbers to shield their identity. https://twitter.com/TheIndypendent/status/1266871388624781312">https://twitter.com/TheIndype...
I& #39;m sure there are countless more videos that have not yet crossed my radar. By all means, extend this thread with any more you might find. Police brutality is obviously a national problem, but I am keeping the focus here on NYC so we can work to #DefundTheNYP and more.
