I spoke to several MOS's today. One is an FDNY dispatcher. The others are NYPD. They all told me the same thing. Manhattan was out of control last night. All the resources placed at the bridge was nothing more than a show to let the media show how nice and clam things were, while the city burned behind the camera. I thought they were extracting until I spoke to my Cousin who lives on 8th and 27th and told me she saw the Gresidties across the street from her being broken into. Several Cops gave chase but more looters surrounded them and taunted them.
Citizen app seems to be censoring or not reporting by the way.. i didn't see many break ins last night on the app and I drive around my area didnt see too much new broken in store fronts. The only one I knoticed seemed to be someone tried to break the wood on the best buy on 6th and 23rd. But I can 100% say the night before was insane! A store on my block got broken into and it was like looter after looter after looter after looter after looter and didn't stop cops would come by once in a while and well nothing. It was really a joke and embarrassing and its nearly impossible to get a carry gun license.. im suppose to expect these watered down nypd to protect me? And believe me i am pro cop. But its ridiculous whats happening to our city!

Response: My outlook seems to believe that the riots in
New York City are the results of an inept Mayor
tying the hands of the police department..
He even admits on public radio( in so many words ) that based on the
events that unfolded the night before police will be prepared to take
the necessary steps at the next turn. Since when does one have to fall
off the side of a cliff to realize it is there ? .........duh...........

Perhaps Airborne Guy could chime in to verify.
I was watching on this same amateur video I just posted.
I didn't see any looting. I looked like last night Tuesday was mainly the cops following the protestors around for a few hours and then making arrests. But this was just this one guy riding around in his bike I saw and the news also had the chopper view.
Occasional a broken window. There were some hundreds of people after curfew.
You said burning. I had seen no burning. Monday was the bad night.
He's on his was to union square now, supposed to be some people there. Bronx was really bad also on Monday but I'm not sure about last night Tuesday.
Tonight's rain so they may quit
From my stance,
One has to only watch the old classic " The Wizard of Oz" to
understand that all witches melt when making contact with water.
The rain simply sent all the sorcerers,and enchantresses back into
the dark forest of the countryside ( parents basement.)
