The NYPD braced Tuesday for any Election Night chaos that could erupt across the city; saying they are prepared to “freeze” sections of Manhattan and Brooklyn that saw violent demonstrations in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd.
“The NYPD, as always, will facilitate any possible peaceful protest,” Chief Monahan told reporters outside police headquarters. “But my message to anyone who wants to cause violence and destruction is, ‘Don’t even try it. We know who you are and you will be arrested.’”

“[There are] certainly some unanswered questioned in terms of how long they’ll be working, but we’re prepared, we’re ready and we’re looking forward to it,” the top cop said. “Everyone should get out there and vote, and we’ll move forward from there.”
