Photo op by the public advocate?
The WSJ reporter in the clip below claims police shoved public advocate Jumaane Williams and friends, but it looks more like they were mobbing police while police were trying to hold the line and keep the mob in control.
Jumaane Williams was obviously aggressive here. Police have no idea who is armed and where the next attack is coming from. This was simply mob control.
You decide.
Watch:

This is only the beginning of the propaganda. Hatred towards the police and attacks on them are back with the potential of a Biden administration.
COVID’S OVER
There was more propaganda as the left called out their army to celebrate in advance of Joe Biden winning election. There are no attacks on the people who are obviously not social distancing.
Thank God COVID is over https://t.co/u1eAMDRd5D

The city was locked down because of the possibility of Biden supporters rioting:
The Purge comes to NYC. Thanks to Mayor DeBlasio & an incompetent City Council that refuses to allow the NYPD to do their job. Do you think New Yorkers live in fear? This is the result of those peaceful protest we heard about. @NYCMayor @realDonaldTrump @NYCCouncil @CoreyinNYC pic.twitter.com/aPQlqgejBF
