Socialist anti-American AG Tish James' suit against the NYPD is an outrage

outrage/

On Thursday, state Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against
the NYPD for supposedly excessive force and false arrests during the Black
Lives Matter protests/riots this summer.

The suit alleges that the NYPD and its top brass have failed to address a
“longstanding pattern” of abuse by not properly training, supervising and
disciplining officers to prevent misconduct.

“There is no question that the NYPD engaged in a pattern of excessive,
brutal and unlawful force . . . in suppressing overwhelmingly peaceful
protests,” James claims.

“Overwhelmingly.” James apparently has an early bedtime, because as
darkness fell, these protests became overwhelmingly unpeaceful very
quickly. Activists ignored curfews, yelled, spat and pushed cops. Then
windows were smashed, stores looted, and New York City became a boarded-up
wasteland.

Especially in the face of the Capitol riot, it’s the liberal narrative
that everything over the summer was “overwhelmingly” peaceful,
conveniently ignoring the attacks on federal buildings, the squatting on
streets and in parks and the general mayhem.

City Corporation Counsel James Johnson has issued a far 53-page report on
the protests. But unlike James, this review acknowledged both the impact
of the pandemic and the presence of provocateurs embedded among the
protesters.

It also noted that language and chants used at the protests — such as “How
do you spell racist? N-Y-P-D” — “may have affected both NYPD officer
behavior and the behavior of those attending the protests.”

Imagine that, cops have feelings, too.

Among the 10 recommendations in the Johnson report is a call for more
police officer training in crowd psychology, de-escalation and First
Amendment issues as well as greater community engagement in planning and
training.

That’s a far better prescription than James’, which is to install yet
another monitor (the fifth or so, by our count) over the NYPD, to oversee
its tactics at future protests.

Police Commissioner Dermot Shea has already vowed to implement changes in
how cops handle protests.

James’ suit, in short, is pure grandstanding — not part of the solution,
but part of the problem.
