NEW YORK — New York City police say 303 department vehicles have been vandalized since George Floyd’s May 25 death, causing nearly $1 million in damage.

The department said Monday that 14 vehicles were a total loss because of fire damage, seven are still being repaired and the rest have returned to service.

Several people were arrested in the early days of the unrest for allegedly hurling Molotov cocktails at police vehicles in Brooklyn. Those cases are still pending in federal court.

Damaging police vehicles is “peaceful protesting” according to the mass media, the Democrats, large corporations, large non-profits, major league sports owners and players, many church leaders, university administration and professors, other education administrators and teachers...

Since they are defunding the police they won’t need to buy new ones.

Win, win.

Peaceful protesting comes with a cost.

I thought they were defunding the police?

What do they need police cars for if they are defunding the police?

They could buy those 2 door spec Fiat 500s and issue them out the social workers who are going to go around and convince the criminals to not commit crimes.

Oh No! Those are not carbon neutral and will help kill the earth. Better to use bicycles - tandem bicycles - just in case the criminal needs to be brought to his safe space. /s

There is an old saying: “Any fool can burn down a barn, but it takes a real hard-working farmer to build one and fill it.” These people are exposing themselves to be fools worthy of significant prison sentences, especially if there’s a conspiracy involved. Hope that there’s enough evidence to convict them!

The thing that triggered these riots was the MSM reporting of the Floyd demise and spiking the facts behind his condition at the time. Because of that getting those facts out are desperately needed

The democrat controlled media racist killing reporting was a deliberate miss portraying of the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period

Why doesn’t deBlasio send a bill for replacement to BLM and Antifa plus their sponsors to pay for the autos?
