Startling video shows a group of NYPD cops being attacked by migrants at a shelter on Randall’s Island.
Migrants surrounded about five uniformed officers and threw bottles and debris at them as the cops tried to apprehend a disorderly man inside the shelter last Thursday, the video shows.
At one point, someone hurls a backpack, striking a cop in her head with it. A few moments later, a shelter resident with crutches tries to poke an officer.
Shelter residents are seen screaming at the officers in Spanish. Cops are holding up their batons to deflect the objects being thrown at them.
Cops were called to the shelter around 11 a.m. when a man began arguing with security guards and was “acting in a disorderly fashion,” an NYPD spokesman said.
The man, wearing a white T-shirt, was not a shelter resident, a source said.
By the end of the two-minute clip, shelter security guards are called in to surround the officers, who pick up the struggling man and remove him from the tent shelter.
“Security! Surround the cops! Surround the cops!” someone can be heard yelling off camera.
None of the officers were injured, police said. It wasn’t immediately clear if the man taken into custody was charged.

This situation was made worse by having poorly trained officers failing to subdue, restrain and remove the subject quickly.
Potentially hostile situations and locations like that require fast, precision Shock and Awe, these officers were never in control.
Extremely poor handcuffing techniques, situations like these often cause more injuries to the officers and the person being arrested, detained.
DEI hires, a few in poor physical condition.

Hard to maintain order when you’re out of shape and were never trained properly. Putting people in jobs that they are not qualified to perform. It is like hiring a 350 pound jockey to bring home the triple crown.
As a former MP, I too saw all you wrote. That female cop was totally worthless. Plus all of them were fat. Go to the gym after shift and work out and do mat time with someone who knows any grappling techniques. I did all that when I was an MP.
This is the America that Barack Obama is responsible for. But this is what happens when you do not enforce the natural born citizen, clause of the constitution to be president.
Most people knew Barack Obama was a fraud from the get-go and nobody in media or congress t said a word about it.

@JellyfishLouieDemocrat2yrs2Y
DEI hiring and open borders have consequences. See above for proof.
