There is a myth put out by the Right that "the Left" is the enemy. Many of these cops are on the Authoritarian Right and think of the Mayor as the enemy before any of this happened. Now the Right is using this as PROOF that the "the Left" (Which includes a majority of New Yorkers) are the enemy. They would LOVE IT if they could go all "brownshirt" and do a kristallnacht on Harlem.
