The NYPD has been caught numerous times since yesterday doing what the NYPD does best. Last night — a video surfaced (and we have a few ourselves you might find on this very website) of two NYPD cruisers ramming their vehicles into protesters.
I am heartbroken and disgusted to see one of my family members a young black man w/his hands up peacefully protesting and an NYPD officer pulls down his mask and pepper sprays him. @NYCSpeakerCoJo @BPEricAdams @FarahNLouis @JumaaneWilliams @NewYorkStateAG @NYPDShea cc: @EOsyd pic.twitter.com/tGK5XWS0bt

As much as we wish that the previous paragraph were a joke it isn’t. The scene was captured on camera and widely shared online even garnering a response from NYC ‘s betrothed mayor Bill De Blasio. In response to the growing controversy over the video, De Blasio called the move (and we’re quoting this literally) a “tough decision.”
