There was a battle outside the GOP headquarters in Manhattan the other night. Thugs from Antifa fought thugs from a group called the Proud Boys. The police basically stayed out of the battle.
Now, a few days latter, the NY Police are investigating to see if any of the Proud Boys should be arrested. The political pressure on Mayor DeBlasio to act was just too great to let things sit.
This is crazy. The police should have stepped in immediately once the fighting started and arrested the instigators. The idea that NY police were told not to inject themselves into the situation is just plain wrong. It's even worse to think that after making the wrong choice in the first place, the cops are now having to try to reconstruct the events of the other night but only to go after one side.
Let's be clear. Thugs are thugs no matter whether they are leftist thugs or rightist thugs. Either way, their actions are unacceptable. It's not a political question. It's just a matter of keeping the peace.
