NYPD Deploys Commando Equipped Police at Indoor and Outdoor Venues
By Mass Private
November 16, 2017 "Information Clearing House" - And so it begins, my worst fears have been realized.
Militarized US police have begun patrolling indoor and outdoor venues.
Yesterday, an article in CBS New York warned that the NYPD plans to have commando equipped police or their Strategic Response Group (SRG) patrolling indoor and outdoor venues.
"The NYPD will be rolling out additional security around Madison Square Garden and Brooklyn’s Barclays Center as the holidays approach."How did the mass media justify putting commando style police at public venues?
They claim that SRG's presence at arenas is sure to make visitors “feel protected and feel more comfortable.”
Putting commando style police at public venues will not make people feel more comfortable.What they
are really trying to do, is
normalize their presence.Why would I
say that?
Because, crime is at record lows
across the country and especially in
New York City.
“Crime remains close to record lows, in the nation as a whole and in our city centers” said Ames Grawert, of the Brennan Center’s Justice Program.
So if violent crime is at record lows, why do police need SRG's?
Never Miss Another Story |
A 2015, New York
Times article revealed the real
reason Commissioner William Bratton
created the NYPD's private
army SRG.
Communities United for Police Reform warned, 'a militarized police force will use counterterrorism tactics against protesters.'
As you can see, the mass media is great at hiding the truth and even better at justifying militarized police.
