Four anti-police New York City Council members were called 'hypocritical' after calling for increased security after they received 'scary' threats.
A New York City police officer called out anti-police City Council members as 'hypocritical' after they pleaded with police to rescue them after receiving 'scary' threats. The New York Post, citing NYPD sources, said that staffers were left clutching their pearls after threats were made against NYC Council members Chi Ossé and Shahana Hanif, along with Yusef Salaam and Carlina Rivera. 'It’s disgusting,' one staffer texted a council colleague.
In October, less than a month after Hamas' unprecedented attack on Israel, Hanif was arrested at an anti-Israel rally in Bryant Park. 'On October 20th, I was arrested alongside a multiracial coalition of New Yorkers, among them two members of my team, many Muslims and Jews, many whose first-time it was risking an arrest, demanding Senators Schumer and Gillibrand support a ceasefire in Gaza,' Hanif wrote in an Instagram post following her arrest.
