What you will see in this video being used as a defense against NYC peaceful protestors in solidarity with BLACK LIVES MATTER protestors ( 5 of whom were shot by white supremacist aided by police) are not just POLICE out on patrol but COUNTER -TERRORISM forces! These Strategic Response Groups or SRG's are a part of NYPD's Critical Response Command which were created against terroristic attacks! Many of these officers have been deployed in Paris days ago, after it was attacked. And those in command at this NYC protests, were themselves trained and utilized in Iraq. So what are they doing here at a peaceful protest in NYC? Why have they randomly arrested people out on the street, in or near the protests? Why did they arrest journalist who clearly displayed their press identification? And why did they arrest even the family members who were out protesting the murder of their loved one? Is America in fact already a police state? Has the right to peacefully protest been out lawed? Are citizens of the United States who raise a dissent against government for failing to protect them and their loved ones against police now looked upon as terrorists? If the only right remaining is the "right to be silent" then surely government itself has abused it! For they have been silent for far too long, while the people are being slaughtered by a standing army "armed to the teeth" and ready to bite. How will America answer foreign nations when questioned on her desire to rid them of "terrorists" when she has her own "home grown brand" right here in America - known as police!?
