      I can attest, the #NYPD continues to behave awfully & unlawfully. They CONTINUE to exhibit disgusting behavior. Don’t believe the false postering & solidarity BS. The hiring of these people, needs a total overhaul. @NYPDnews @NYPDShea

      THREAD: We were “detained” by the #NYPD last night for 4 hours. My bf & I watched a group of peaceful protesters coming down 3rd Ave just before 9pm from inside our apt. The #NYPD was following along on bikes & walking with batons on the side of the group. It quickly turned uglypic.twitter.com/V02EmV4soe

      Here the #NYPD over bullhorn sends out an order to bike cops “Start engaging this group right now” We watched from my window as cops forcefully advanced on them. It’s hard to see in vid, but its clear they’re rushing on the crowd to the point that cops tumble off their bikes.pic.twitter.com/cKQzv8Djwa

          As a journalist, watching this scene unfold on my block, from my own home, I knew it was important to document what was happening. I went downstairs & started an Instagram live. Within a minute the cops threw me against the wall & had me in zip ties. Vid before it went haywire:pic.twitter.com/WbC43ORC69

          My family and friends watched as I was being arrested on IG live, on my own block. I told the police I live on the block & I identified myself as a journalist. None of that mattered.

          I was slammed to the ground. @jessiegibson was treated less aggressively, but his Nikon camera wasn’t. They slammed his camera down & busted the $2,500 lense. Injuries by #NYPD from being “detained” - they made sure to say we weren’t arrested. @NYPDnewspic.twitter.com/E2UKUHtB0O

          We were placed in paddy wagons. I was w/ 10 female protesters, who were all thankfully wearing masks, as was I. The majority of the police were not wearing masks. We were sitting without AC for about 10 mins crammed in a paddy wagon before someone complained & AC was switched on.

          We were in the paddy wagon like this for what was easily over 30 minutes. We were all taken to the 17th precinct and placed in 2 cells. For a summons, a damn curfew ticket.

          While in the precinct I noticed every #NYPD cop I saw was a Detecitve. There was a Detective Wood, bald guy with tats, joking about the pandemic & saying #COVID19 was made up.

          I asked him, didn’t the #NYPD get slammed by #coronavirus? He said “Nah.” Both my boyfriend & I heard theses detectives bragging about how they’re raking in overtime in all of this. A reminder, New Yorkers are heavily taxed, and we are paying for all of this.

          But on Tuesday night, we watched Duane Reade on our corner get looted at least 10 times until 3am. I called 911 repeatedly. The police showed up once, and again at 3am. They did nothing to stop the looting. But they are detaining people for hours on end, and laughing about OT.

          When I was first brought into the precinct & #NYPD was going through what little belongings I had on me- again because I had only run downstairs- I wasn’t “out,” a cop pulled out my Juul vape pen and asked me what it was. I told him, its a Juul, its nicotine.

          He said to me, “I can change that.” No joke, this #NYPD member of the force straight up said to me, a journalist, that he can essentially pin a drug charge on me, just because.

          Towards the end of this ordeal, #NYPD Villani, who is possibly a seargent, said people should just be ticked on the streets and not rounded up, so I suppose they’re not all bad, but he could have easily been posturing in front of us.

          Detainees asked how they were supposed to get home, since it was now approaching 1am and subways shut down till 5am- you know- because of disinfecting for this whole pendemic thing. Cops told them “Guess you’ll just have to walk.”

          By the time I was released it was nearing 1am. I’m bruised. I’m angry. I belive in #BLM. I’m glad people are out protesting. These cops are out of control. The #NYPD is lawless chaos.

          There is one more thing that needs to be addressed. And its important. I’ve gotten a few comments & DMs from friends & people I don’t know as to why I called 911 on the looters at Duane Reade. And its a fair question.

          The Duane Reade is in a residential building. I wasn’t sure what could happen next. Would it just be looted? Could someone set the place on fire? There is no handbook for whats happening. I wish there was.

          This is, in large part, about us educating ourselves & each other. The #NYPD & law enforcement around the country has exhibited awful behavior this past week.

          I don’t believe calling 911 was exactly the right move here, but I’m also not sure what would be. Until there is real reform to our law enforcement system, I think everyone should take a beat before they make that call. It truly could cost more lives than it would by not calling.
