Kaleemah Rozier, 22, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon following a heated confrontation with several NYPD officers, reported WABC.
The NYPD claims officers addressed Rozier because her face wasn’t covered.
Less than two weeks before Rozier’s arrest, Donni Wright, a Black man who was observing an arrest was violently arrested by NYPD officer Francisco Garcia.
NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea defended his department during a press conference, claiming officers are receiving death threats over 10-second videos.
Shea added, “In the last week, we have had death threats on police officers in New York City and their families 10-second videos where the police officers are dealing with individuals that quite frankly, fight, not with the police department, they fight with everyone, they fight with their significant others, they fight when they go to court, they have opened gun cases, they are gang members.”
