The crackdown, led by the departments highest-ranking uniformed officer, was among the most aggressive police responses to protests across the United States following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and could cost New York City taxpayers several million dollars in misconduct complaints and lawsuits. About 10 minutes before an 8 p.m. curfew imposed after looting elsewhere in the city scores of police officers surrounded and trapped the protesters a tactic known as kettling as they marched peacefully through Mott Haven. Just after 8 p.m., the police, unprovoked and without warning, moved in on the protesters, wielding batons, beating people from car tops, shoving them to the ground, and firing pepper spray into their faces before rounding up more than 250 people for arrest *The New York City police blocked people from leaving before the curfew and then used the curfew as an excuse to beat, abuse, and arrest people who were protesting peacefully,* said Ida Sawyer, acting crisis and conflict director at Human Rights Watch and co-author of the report. It was a planned operation with no justification that could cost New York taxpayers millions of dollars. About 100 protesters and observers have filed notice of their intent to sue the city. The city paid out $36 million for civil rights violations and related legal fees after police kettled and mass-arrested protesters in a similar manner in 2004. Current Chief of Department Terence Monahan was also a key player during those operations. So maybe if right-wingers don't care about unconstitutional police brutality and human rights violations, they should at least care about how the actions of the police are costing millions in tax dollars? --- The Original Eliza. <cite>Eliza3 posted [p:945291619] in Turns out ...
