The highest-ranking uniformed member of the NYPD, Chief of Department Terence Monahan, who knelt with protesters at the beginning of June, was one of four NYPD officers injured during protests in New York on Wednesday. Monahan and the other injured officers were marching with a pro-police group when they clashed with anti-police activists.
“Police photos of the aftermath showed a lieutenant with a bloodied face, a detective holding a bandage to his head, and a bicycle officer helping a fellow officer dress a head wound. Monahan, who last month kneeled in a show of solidarity with protesters, sustained injuries to his hand,” The Associated Press reported Wednesday.
Monahan was “said to be bloodied but not seriously hurt,” ABC 7 stated, noting that a sergeant and a lieutenant who were attacked with canes and bats were transported to a hospital.
Bill Casey of the Retired Sergeant Association told ABC 7, “We’re fighting for unity. It just seems that there’s so much violence. And the cops are being portrayed as villains instead of what they really are, which is heroes.”
On June 1, Monahan knelt with protesters.
Monahan stated that his kneeling was the first step in “getting this together” and “getting those groups out of here,” referring to reputed outside agitators stirring up trouble. “The people who live in New York want New York to end the violence. Get the intruders that are not from this city the h*** out of here and give us back our city.”
“We’ve had five days of war here, that needs to end. It has to end today,” he added, telling protesters, “Leave it out to those who are to cause damage and we’ll get rid of them. We’ll get rid of those that are ruining your neighborhood.”
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio praised Monahan, saying, “Terry Monahan defused a very tense situation in Washington Square Park. This is not just an average cop. He took a knee with the protesters out of respect. That’s an indelibly powerful statement.”
Monahan stated on “CBS This Morning” of the protests after the death of George Floyd, “What happened in Minnesota was an outrage, completely and totally. But 800,000 law enforcement officers around this country are paying the price for what that guy did in Minnesota.”
He then appealed to the protesters, saying, “Protest, yell, scream, let your rage out, but don’t take your rage out on the community, destroy the businesses that actually employ members of this community.”
Monahan continued, “Bottles and rocks thrown at my cops, windows being broken, stores being looted … got no place in American society … You have to look at the entire incident. You have to look at the rocks being thrown, the injuries to my officers, what happened before, what precipitated that event. Knowing that we had a commanding officer trapped in his car, his last transmission was, ‘This may be my last transmission,’ dragged out of that car. This is what’s going through a cop’s mind as he gets surrounded.”
“I would never say that we are a racist police department. Absolutely not,” he concluded. “Have incidents happened? Maybe there was a racist incident, something, and that person has been removed from this agency? Absolutely. We all care about the communities we work in. We care deeply in the minority communities, the cops that work there, each and every day.”
LOL! Great post/pic; comments BUMP!
That’s what he gets for kneeling down weeks ago with the “protesters in solidarity with them. More popcorn! LOL

He didn’t learn, he’ll probably be back on his knees for these demons. Maybe next time he’ll polish a few boots, like the CEO of Cuck-Fil-A did.
This rat had no problem arresting scads of GOP protestors and others in 2004. Cost the city $184,000 in lawsuits.
“Then-Deputy Chief Terence Monahan was in charge on Aug. 31, 2004, when demonstrators were rounded up in Lower Manhattan — even after they’d been told they could march, an examination by THE CITY found.”
When you kneel, you can never get back up.
My Give a Schiff meter just pegged zero.
Other than that Ms Lincoln, how was the play?
People who stood back and cheered while some statues were being torn down etc suddenly couldn’t figure it out when churches are attacked with statues being the ‘target’.
It will get interesting when the same mobs go after MLK etal statues.
Had a USMC buddy who was stationed with the Irish in some ‘UN’ guarded place in the MidEast and he enjoyed ‘partying’ with the Irish till he ‘declared’ his Irishness and was basically told
“You ain’t Irish mate, you are an American with an Irish name”.....
Sort of puts things in the proper prospective and when you get to see how the Africans feel about the American Blacks the point is made even better.
History and heritage are ‘good’ but probably not a real good idea to hang your hat on it as eventually you do turn into an ‘outsider’ when the obvious outsiders are gone....
Ask ANY RINO who is courted by MSM until they run against the LIB etc and you folks who ‘washed’ the feet of your ‘hosts’, let me know how they (don’t) bypass YOUR house when they ‘hit the neighborhoods’.
Your Groveling only made you like a Fool
You mean "banshee?"
Do they even "run?"
Regards,
Lady? Please.....
Monahan will soon be issuing an apology for getting blood on the thug’s clean bat.
I want that scooter!
Jesus did not wash Satan’s feet
concrete example of a bloody fool
Not angry, just hoping you will lady up in the language department.
Have a wonderful day.
It’s a shame that you have nothing better to do with yourself
LOL, I knew that was going to be one of the first 10 posting to this thread.
That’s an indelibly powerful statement.
“That’s what he gets for kneeling down weeks ago with the “protesters in solidarity with them. More popcorn! LOL”
