New NYPD counterterrorism unit will also handle protests

[Agent Mulder]

A new unit of 350 cops will handle both counterterrorism and protests, riding around vehicles equipped with long guns and riot gear under a new NYPD re-engineering plan to be rolled out over the coming months.
The department will do away with the current system that pulls cops from precincts citywide to provide a beefed-up presence at certain hotspots in “critical incident vehicles.”

“It strips the precincts of a couple of officers, day time, evening,” NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton said Thursday of the existing strategy initiated under former Commissioner Ray Kelly.
“We’re going to try to create a system where instead of doing that, we’re going to leave them back in the precincts so they get an enhanced presence.”
The new unit, which will be operational by summer, will be assigned to the counterterrorism bureau.
“They will be specially trained for it,” Bratton said during a Police Foundation breakfast.. “Their vehicles will be specially equipped with long guns and all the various heavy tactical gear, riot gear, and the officers will have the dedicated mission of protecting locations, being able to assist us in dealing with demonstrations.”

It's sad but I'm not surprised. This is the same NYPD that used Stop and Frisk, went across state lines, disregarding all legal jurisdiction to spy on innocent citizens just because they were Muslims, and countless other illegal actions that should of been checked a long time ago.

Either way, Its gonna take more than 350 heavily armed military police to stop a national movement based on peace, love, and justice. Guns have never stopped movements. And yeah, it was just a matter of time until the racist confusion of our country would tie demonstrations to violent terrorism. Not surprised. Mostly just taken back by how blatant this all is.

So disturbing. We can assume the training will be non-existant.
