NYPD chief of department injured during protest on Brooklyn Bridge

NYPD officers were bloodied and battered by anti-cop activists on the Brooklyn Bridge on Wednesday — as Mayor de Blasio continued to exclude cops from his ambitious plan to stem the violence plaguing the city.
Surveillance video shows an unidentified man on the bridge’s walkway leaning over a fence and using a cane to whack cops over their heads as they arrested a counter-demonstrator against a “unity” march on the roadway.
“The officers sustained serious injuries. This is not peaceful protest, this will not be tolerated,” the department wrote.
Chief of Department Terence Monahan — the NYPD’s highest-ranking uniformed officer — suffered a broken finger during the clashes on the bridge, sources said.
The NYPD said 37 people were arrested, but details weren’t immediately available.
Meanwhile, de Blasio offered an update on his so-far ineffective plan to stem the city’s surge in shootings — without including any NYPD officials in his briefing for at least the third time in recent days.
NYPD statistics show that gun arrests have plunged 67 percent over the past 28 days, following the June 15 disbanding of the department’s undercover anti-crime unit. There were 10 shootings on Tuesday and another early Wednesday that left a 30-year-old man dead and five others injured in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn.
Later Wednesday, the mayor signed a series of police-reform bills in The Bronx after helping paint “BLACK L***S M****R” on Morris Avenue between East 161st and 162nd streets.
The new laws include a ban on chokeholds that also makes it a crime to restrict a person’s ability to breathe, including by sitting, kneeling or standing on someone’s chest or back.
Last week, Monahan called the latter “diaphragm” provisions “dangerous,” saying that “any cop who’s ever fought with someone on the street, trying to get him into cuffs, there’s a great possibility that your knee is going to end up on that individual’s back, and now this new law is criminalizing it.”
De Blasio acknowledged the new laws might make it harder for cops to do their jobs, but said he signed them because people “need to be safe. They want to work with the NYPD and they want respect in turn.”

There are no surprises here. Slimeball political hack does what he thinks is expedient to get re-elected.

It would seem that the Gotham city is now in the capable hands of the Joker.
