Policing/ Machine
guns for only counter-terror initiatives.
One day after saying a newly-created police unit armed with machine guns
would police protesters, the New York Police Department has backtracked, saying
the unit will only work on counter-terror initiatives.
Chief of Department James O’Neill told the
New York Daily News that the new counter-terror unit “will
not be involved in handling protests and demonstrations. They’ll have no role
in protests. Their response is single-fold. They’ll be doing counter-terror
work. They’ll be assigned to different posts throughout the city.”
