Despite this, RPD Lt. David Cuffley ordered the assembly to be dispersed under threat of arrest, reportedly at the order of an unnamed city official.

Amidst almost a mile of pedestrian barricades, a heavy police and National Guard presence, and an elaborate production setup, only handfuls of spectators came and went as an hourly narrated presentation of a revisionist history of the United States played against a backdrop of hastily-animated

I went to Trump’s “Freedom 250” NYE celebration so you didn’t have to.
Billed by the administration as “the opening signature moment … celebrating the nation’s founding and its enduring promise”, almost no one was interested enough to show up.

Within the first few pages it becomes apparent that Bovino approached this deposition with the same smug confidence that he’s had during Midway Blitz: believing he’s in control, he can do whatever he wants, and everyone else is a piece of shit.
It also becomes apparent that he is out of his depth.

You’re not wrong, friend. There’s a long backstory as to why I left policework, and it involves testifying against other cops who tried to cover up an off-duty assault by another cop.

I’m a photojournalist, and was tackled by CBP agents at Broadview while covering protests last month, despite being very clearly identified as a member of the press.
I came face to face with Bovino, and reading this fills me with an incandescent rage; I never saw a single person be violent there.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.
Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.
