Anti-cop protest now in grand central. @NYCMayorsOffice your protestor army has gone rogue.

At a press conference Monday afternoon, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio repeated his request that demonstrators in the city put aside protests until after the funerals of the two police officers ambushed and executed in their patrol car Saturday. Naturally, when video shows marchers chanting, “What do we want? Dead cops!” during the recent #MillionsMarchNYC, it’s not hard to believe that many protesters weren’t sympathetic to the mayor’s request.
"Put aside protests. Put aside demonstrations until these funerals are passed." – Mayor @BilldeBlasio. Watch: http://t.co/10woiev32p.

Why do the death of police officers deserve more focus and attention than the death of unarmed black citizens @NYCMayorsOffice @deBlasioNYC?

The mayor also urged citizens to monitor social media and alert authorities to “any statement suggesting violence toward the police.”

This clown’s been doing double duty by tweeting his violent thoughts directly to the FBI.

And yes, Monday night’s scheduled weekly “die-in” at Grand Central Station went on as planned, although the numbers were small.
in slightly less exciting news, i just saw a protest in grand central, maybe 20 ppl tops, and there are like at least that many cops
