Still, in a video interview with Loudlabs News NYC, first reported by
The New York Post, less than an hour before the attack, Rahman said it
was understandable for people to be in the streets and enraged about
police brutality.
“This has got to stop, and the only way they hear, the only way they
hear us, is through violence, through the means that they use,” she said.
She suggested that the destruction of police property was appropriate.
“People are angry because the police are never held accountable,” she said.
In the video, she was standing near a convenience store, according to
people with knowledge of the investigation, where some of the materials
for the attack were purchased.
