NYPD Deploys Counter Terrorism Unit To Protect Wall Street in Response To Gamestop Protests — Alan Macleod

Summary:
The decision to deploy counter-terrorism officers on the streets of Manhattan was not well appreciated, at least judging by replies left on the unit’s official social media pages. “Perfect example of how police exist to protect private property and not people,” was the highest rated response. Other popular replies included, “You brought out the automatic rifles and body armor… for tape,” “Good ad for defunding the police right here,” and, “If this was a shot in a movie, I’d think it was too on the nose.”…Mint Press NewsNYPD Deploys Counter Terrorism Unit To Protect Wall Street in Response To Gamestop ProtestsAlan Macleod, senior writer at Mint Press News, member of  the Glascow Media Group, and author of Bad News From Venezuela: Twenty Years of Fake News and Misreporting, Routledge, 2018
