NYC Police are now the national focus of viral video of a daylight takedown of a tranny teenager, whose "arrest" looked more like a "kidnapping"

Why do our "preservers and protectors"  have to look so bad doing their job ???

City cops in New York are suddenly looking like the thugs of a South American junta of the '60s & '70s, who just roam the streets looking for people to "disappear" 

And what were the charges  ---  criminal mischief and making graffiti 

Mayor compared the scene to Portland, Oregon, and said it was the wrong time and place for the NYPD to arrest a protester and take them away in an unmarked van

Incident prompted Governor Cuomo to threaten defunding the NYPD

One of the most telling things about  >>> THIS INCIDENT <<<  is that the police brass,  "police professionals" in the media,  police unions and other pro-police types are all trying to defend what went down.....

According to one report,  "Several officers were hurt and one protester was put into an unmarked van and taken into custody. Fellow demonstrators said it looked like she was being abducted....  Kips Bay resident Kyle Landry was recording the peaceful march happening near his apartment and couldn’t believe the confrontation he caught on camera....  “I just saw a girl skateboarding down the street, she goes past a minivan and suddenly the doors burst open and they grab her and they shove her inside,” he said....  Nikki Stone, 18, spent the night in police custody but was released Wednesday morning with a desk appearance ticket...."  ( See "Mayor Says Wrong Time And Place For NYPD To Arrest Protester In Unmarked Van"  by John Diaz  & Lisa Rozner,  7/29/2020,  CBSNewsNY/ TV News Local     [https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2020/07/29/protester-nikki-stone-released-after-arrest-in-unmarked-van/]).

Nikki Stone was identified by friends as a transgender activist who has been experiencing homelessness.  She was released from a police precinct with a DAT around 1 a.m. Wednesday, and ordered to return to court at a later date to face charges of criminal mischief and making graffiti stemming from five alleged incidents over the last two months.

The CBS article went on to say this:   "Mayor Bill de Blasio addressed the incident Wednesday morning.  'A lot of us have been watching in pain what’s going on in Portland, Oregon,' he said. 'Anything that even slightly suggests that is, to me, troubling, and it’s the kind of thing we don’t want to see in this city....  I think it was the wrong time and the wrong place to effectuate that arrest,'  he added....  Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he was disturbed and called on the NYPD to build trust within the community....  'We’re not going to fund local governments in the next budget unless they do what is responsible,' he said...."
