Current problem

Months later, Adams seemed to encourage the police to ignore the legally requested layered approach.Who showed the police who showed the police who showed the police who showed the police who showed the police who showed the police -pushed and handled the demonstrators, Adams replied: “If you crossed that line, isno level.Tell the police officers that you should wait for six people in your face before they intervene. ”(Told KiswaniActivaThat NYPD against the march almost immediately started to arrest demonstrators.)

Police Benevolent Association (PBA), the trade union that represents NYPD officers, has repeated the mayor's arguments with reference to the pro-Palestinian protests to combat the mediation agreement.In November 2023memoAs part of a lawsuit that tries to block the scheme, PBA wrote: “How could the police remain silent as no officers (other than social relationships) the police with regard to the events of Israel and Gaza remain their faces of crimesSeeing was actually dedicated? "The protests have been largely peaceful since 7 October, according to Nyclu, and Leyva said that a major police -presence was armed with militarized equipment even escalates.

Conservative municipal councilors have also called NIPD to combat protesters.The purpose of the meeting was ondiscuss"The current Pro-Palestinian protests, quality of life, crime in the city and how these questions are treated."(Paladino also hascalledWithin our lives Kiswani a 'terrorist leader'.) After Columbia had announced the cancellation of his diploma, another member of the Common Sense Caucus, Woman Inna Vernikov,saidOn X: "This is what happens when we let Snot-Nose Brats run violently and play revolutionary."

Maddrey, NYPD department head, witnessed during the public safety committee of a city council of 20 March who met that NYPD tries to start with "the easiest touch" when the politicized protests.Possible officers, "he said. But in recent months, Nyclu has observed what it called" massive implementations "of NYPD officers for events in a statement. Many police are present in vehicles before the protests even start."

Recently there have often been more officers than demonstrators about demonstrations.LeyvasaidAt X were those who were generally by the police for large parts of the event.

Nyclu has expressed special concerns about disagreements in the size of inserts at the start of actions organized by Palestinian, Arabic and Muslim -guided groups, including within our lives.Certain message.

The reaction of the police to recent protests often included officers of the Strategic Response Group (SRG), a unit established in 2015 to concentrate on terrorism and political protests.James O'Neill Departmentpromisedthat the group would only participate in terrorist operations, but only a few months later SRG wasimplementedAgainst a protest about the police murder in Freddie Gray.ItdescriptionVan SRG on the NYC site does not mention terrorism at all: SRG "responds to the mobilizations of the city, civilian disorders and large events with highly educated staff and specialized equipment."

According to the settlement agreement, SRG can only be executed in protest scenarios "Tier 3" when officers have identified a likely reason for arrest.The current NYPD politics, "In most protests in the city, SRG is not there and not to be found and not even in the area. For protests in the past three months.

In recent weeks, SRG officers have been used for a pro-Palestinian protest outside with gala and to break down students in Columbia, NYU and City College in New York (CCNY).Have the means there, "said Leyva," they were trained in military tactics and then sent to protests "according to Nyclu, the police who are unparalleled pepper spray against demonstrators and a legal observer in NYU on 22 April and pushed demonstrators with batons with batons with batonsBatons on ccny.wy bay ridge protesting on May 18 Monitorswitness of"Aggressive escalation" by SRG officers and violent arrests of protesters and press members.

Under the circ*mstances of the settlement, the police are not allowed to use the tactics of the public control for "kettling" demonstrators in which the environment is involved and falls down demonstrators without being distributed.

According to Leyva, the SRG police blocked both sides of a small street during a pro-Palestinian protest on Wall Street in February to arrest protesters.to leave the police.Although she refused to comment on specific cases, Perry said: "Use kettling as a crowd that checks tactics without notice that they should spread or leave before arrests take place, and surrounding demonstrators without any basis for arresting absolutely forbidden to finishto count.

The settlement also requires that officers "accommodate" demonstrations in public streets, but many of the arrests have been in recent months to block roads and the use of noise units, suggesting the strictest possible interpretation of current laws.11 May in the Barclays Center, reminded of the 76th year of the massive removal of Palestinians, the police arrested protesters as soon as the march stepped to block the road and use sound units.Foley Square, said Leyva, the police arrested protesters for the use of drums.

The police often arrest protest leaders who use megaphones to communicate a healthy permit to the crow, something that is now suddenly enforced and is used as an excuse to brutalize and arrest protesters, including organizers. "

NYPD Chief of Patrol Chell has explicitly spelled these tactics,submissionOn X in February: "I am top brass and you better think that my guideline is to [sic] on units, roads and everything else to maintain the law!"

Perry told me that these kinds of explanations "leave the impression that NYPD is more interested in enforcement and down and handle a hard-to-crime approach when what they have agreed in the settlement is to protect the activity of the first change andto facilitate, "she added," the police must stop concentrating on giving this type of inflammatory statement and concentrating on maintaining the conditions of the settlement.
