The former president suggested sending the NYPD officers running security around his trial to be deployed to quell protests at Columbia University

Donald Trump would really like his fans to protest outside of his criminal hush money trial in Manhattan. 

While protesters are allowed to be present in designated areas outside of the Manhattan Criminal Court, MAGA aficionados have shown little willingness to organize around the trial. On Monday, a disgruntled Trump called for security around the trial to be eased so that his followers would feel more comfortable gathering to support him.

He's trying to J6 the trial.

Call in the national guard Joe.

The NYPD is the size of an army and armed as well as one. They can handle it.

As long as they are there in advance and prepared.

Its not like the capitol police were underfunded.

One has tanks, drones, spy planes, literal roadblocks builtin into all the streets around the courthouse, and regularly boasts about their anti-aircraft abilities. The other protects people who aren’t even in their office buildings half the time. Not even close to the same.

Not sure if talking about NYPD or national guard.

NYCLU article about some of NYPD’s capabilities. Keyword some of their tech, some of their kit is directly from military contractors and can not be discussed at all. IIRC the last major National Guard deployments in NYC have all been for food deployment, including hand delivering lunches during COVID in the suburbs.

Weren't they just in the subways collecting tickets? The National Guard, not NYPD...

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

But whose side are they on? I don't trust them to protect democracy.

I believe in detective terminology, this is can now be called the modus operandi.
