New York City Police showed up on Friday to the Hell’s Kitchen home of a Black Lives Matter activist with two dozen cop cars, guard dogs, and a helicopter. They did not have a warrant to arrest Derrick Ingram, who livestreamed the encounter to Instagram. His fellow activists protested the show of force down the street. Officers rapped on Ingram’s door, but he declined to allow them into his home. They departed without arresting him. In the livestream, Ingram said, “What did I do? What did I do? I was born Black. That’s what I did,” according to The New York Times. A police spokesperson told the Times officers were planning to arrest Ingram for assaulting an officer.


Did I get this series of events correctly?

The NYPD planned to arrest him for assaulting an officer.

The NYPD DID remember to bring a whole army to storm this guy's place.

The NYPD somehow DID NOT remember to bring an actual arrest-warrant for this so-dangerous-we-need-to-bring-a-whole-army super-villain.





It's obvious what the NYPD had planned: Trick him into opening his door, attack him, and when he defends himself, arrest him for assaulting a police-officer.
