“You’ve got your firearm. Not sir, excuse me, no fuck that. Firearm in the air and it’s game over.”
I recorded what I could of this woman’s instructions to these cops
“we got a lot of people out here supporting us as well. Your average citizen gives you a thumbs up, you’re good to go, don’t stop and have a conversation.... someone finds a wallet, take it & drop it in a mailbox”
WTF @NYCMayor & @NYPDShea? this is the attitude your cops are meeting the protestors with???
But what we overheard before transcribing and recording were her instructions that they don’t forget they have the tools they need on their belt to control the crowd: mace, taser, and gun. She clearly instructed them to fire shots in the air.
