Is he wearing a ballistic vest?

If so, next to the Kennedy assassination and the Reagan shooting, the Secret Service’s darkest day.
Civvies + ear piece + bullet proof vest under shirt = Secret Service.
He should be embarrassed by this...they already had snipers on the roof and other cops around. So why the SWAT team. I’ve seen many protests in NYC, many cops around, but rarely dressed in riot gear.
Notice the bulge, on his right side from just below his armpit.
Maybe he has a 1860’s, bound Colliers Weekly tucked away. Or an Uzi.
