An entire family was arrested on charges of assaulting police officers, it all started as 87 year old WWII veteran and widower, Jack "Jackie" Flannery Sr was arrested on charges of drunk driving after leaving a special family dinner in their hometown of Hell's Kitchen(now a gentrified hipster enclave referred to as "Clinton) in midtown Manhattan. Jack Sr complied with officers until Jack Sr's 60 year old son Scott, attempted to pull officers off of his father yelling "If you take him, you take me too", things quickly spiraled out of control as Scott was subdued with force by police batons and fists, soon the remaining three of Jack Sr's sons jumped into the brawl, as other family members including daughters, sister-in-laws, brother-in-laws, nieces, nephews and grandchildren got into minor scuffles with police officers before the mayhem was quelled after about ten minutes. Jack Sr, 88 of Manhattan, Jack Jr, 63 of New Jersey, Scott, 60 of Manhattan, Eric, 56 of Long Island and Gregory, 50 of The Bronx were arrested on charges of assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, attempting to incite a riot, and damaging a police car. All five are currently being held on Rikers Island.
I can't tell if your PRO NYPD or CON NYPD...but I'll bite...

How did the NYPD bust up this family?
They needed to be arrested. The old man got popped on a DUI...right off the bat he's GUILTY.
Then his genius son jumps in and tries to stop him from getting locked up.
Good they all got arrested.
It doesn't seem very fair what happen as you describe there. How come those
daughters, sister-in-laws, brother-in-laws, nieces, nephews and grandchildren
who got into scuffles with police officers were not also arrested?
Okay, you know what an 87 year old man might be scared and afraid. So I would actually need to go with them. Also I believe people have the right to go to where a person is being held for their safety, or a family member can wait outside.
