Ocasio-Cortez Gives Her Support To Anti-Police Protesters With 'Punch A Cop' Signs

On Saturday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez put her anarcho-socialist seal of approval on the anti-cop demonstrations that went down in Brooklyn on Friday night. Her defiant tweet of support included a video of demonstrators jumping over subway turnstiles, yelling insults at police, and chanting, “How do you spell racist? N-Y-P-D,” according to Fox News.

That video posted by a third party was later deleted from Twitter.

“Ending mass incarceration means challenging a system that jails the poor to free the rich,” the congresswoman, whose district includes parts of the Bronx and Queens, tweeted. “Arresting people who can’t afford a $2.75 fare makes no one safer and destabilizes our community. New Yorkers know that, they’re not having it, and they’re standing up for each other.”

Ending mass incarceration means challenging a system that jails the poor to free the rich.

Arresting people who can’t afford a $2.75 fare makes no one safer and destabilizes our community.

New Yorkers know that, they’re not having it, and they’re standing up for each other. https://twitter.com/rafaelshimunov/status/1190587471882596352 …

The protests involved almost a thousand unruly troublemakers, according to the New York Post, some of whom blocked traffic and vandalized a city bus, in addition to shouting insults at police, defacing cop cars, and carrying large banners that said: “Don’t let these pigs touch us” and “F*** the police.”
A multitude of other videos from the November 1 chaos remain online.
