AG Letitia James To Probe NYPD Clashes With George Floyd Protesters: Cuomo
NY Post ^ | 05/30/20 | Laura Italiano and Melissa Klein

Posted on 05/30/2020 9:05:26 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Gov. Andrew Cuomo will ask State Attorney General Letitia James to investigate the NYPD’s conduct during Friday night’s “disturbing” clashes with protesters during anti-cop marches in Brooklyn sparked by the police custody death of George Floyd.

The AG would report back in 30 days on violence including one cop’s caught-on-video shoving of a demonstrator in Brooklyn, the governor said.

“Last night we saw disturbing clashes amidst protests right here in New York City, in Brooklyn,” Cuomo said Saturday in the Bronx, during his daily coronavirus briefing.

“We all saw the video last night. I’m asking Attorney General James to review the actions and the procedures that were used last night because the public deserve answers and they deserve accountability.”

Cuomo said he has spoken with Mayor Bill de Blasio and that the two are in agreement that an independent, non-politicized probe is called for.

“We agree that the AG is an independently elected official,” Cuomo said.

“We’re going to ask her to take a short period of time, review last night and to do a report to the public. Let’s see what we can learn, what was done right, what was done wrong. “

He added, “We had legislators who were at the protests, state legislators last night and there was a significant amount of concern about what actions were taken.”

“Are you kidding me”?

No. He is not kidding. This is the mindset of Leftist Politicians. If I were a policeman in any Lib state and violent Riots erupted I’d call in sick with the Wuhan Flu. Let these worthless democrats deal with the destruction their constituents have brought down upon them.
And, I’d put my home on the market and leave ASAP. Let them deal with the results.

This will give her a bone to chew on for a while, but Letitia is best known for her HARD liberal bias against this president. So, there’s that.

Keep in mind, this is the guy that mass-murdered his elderly fellow citizens and constituents by sending virus victims into the nursing homes....he shipped bodybags to go along with them. He should be arrested and tried for mass murder and crimes against humanity. NY should be real proud of this POS.

Letitia James is another in the line of angry black women that are being installed in AG positions around the country. This will definitely not be an impartial investigation, you can be sure of that.

Cops should just stage a sick-out. Let the freaks run the city for a few days.

They better watch out. They may just show up without a name tag and covered badge number. Everybody has a mask on, including the cops, so smartphone video is pointless....just sayin’
