NYPD officers were questioned after arresting five protestors against the vax mandate and detaining an eleven-year-old girl on Wednesday. The girls had barged into Natural History Museum to show proof that they have been vaccinated.
These arrests were made amid rising crime in New York City. Trouble started when half a dozen people who had reservations tried to enter Manhattan’s museum without showing their vaccine passports. They require all visitors five years old and older to present proof of vaccination.
Jayla, a nine-year-old girl, was captured sobbing while she was being led down the stairs by two police officers. Onlookers were also recorded heckling and abusing NYPD officers for her fear. The mother of the youngster was taken to a local precinct and then released two hours later. However, it is unknown if her mom will face charges.
The protest was documented by a Twitter user describing himself as an ‘independent journalist’ reporting on the anti-mandate movement in New York City.
Wednesday’s scandalous incident happened despite rising violent crime rates in New York City. This is due to fears Manhattan’s new DA Alvin Bragg might encourage felons through his soft-oncrime approach.
