Dermot Shea says NYPD did ‘phenomenal job’ during George Floyd protests
Fox News
NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea defended his department’s handling of the weeks-long Black Lives Matter protests across the Big Apple last year.
The DOI interviews with Shea, as well as then-Chief of Department Terence Monahan, were conducted ahead of the agency’s scathing December report that found that the NYPD’s "inconsistent" enforcement during the May and June protests "heightened tensions" between cops and demonstrators and suppressed First Amendment rights. The report noted that the NYPD’s crowd control tactics "produced excessive enforcement that contributed to heightened tensions."More Related News
