NYC professor who threatened reporter with machete tangled with cops at BLM protest
Fox News
Shellyne Rodriguez, a now-fired NYC professor who allegedly threatened to "chop up" a New York Post reporter, sued the NYPD in 2021 after a BLM protest.
He asked for an interview with Rodriguez after she was caught destroying a student group's pro-life display in an expletive-filled rant that went viral earlier this month.

The NYPD said on Wednesday morning that the incident is under investigation. Rodriguez and two other plaintiffs previously accused the NYPD of "executing a brutal trap for and assault on the protesters" during a Black Lives Matter protest in a federal lawsuit obtained by Fox News Digital.
