Is this what NYC's mayor does when visiting another city for a conference? Sics his jackbooted NYPD thugs on innocent reporters? Oh wait. Maybe the reporter was carrying an assault soda in a high capacity 32 ounce cup.

Actually I think if a NYPD officer asked me for ID in Washington DC I would tell him to kiss my ass. He is just a ways out of his jurisdiction wouldn't you say?

You should see the video of this event. Talk about harassment!
They followed him for a couple blocks yet.

Out of their jurisdiction?
Just a wee bit.

I watched the video. It is ridiculous that NYC officers, Waaayyy out of their jurisdiction can harass someone the way that Officer Stockton does in that video. I assume that they are exempt from any handgun carry laws in DC because they are "security" personnel, and are sworn LE officers to boot. I am surprised that they didn't detain him at gunpoint That would have really lit up the internet, hahaha.

One would think that once they had gotten the journalist away from Bloomy, their job would be done, so why intimidate and harass the individual by shadowing the guy for two city blocks?

Is that the primary purpose of a liberal's security? To protect the person against having to provide an honest answer to a simple question from a journalist?
