At least three marked NYPD cars were vandalized in the Big Apple between Friday night and Saturday morning, hours before thousands of anti-Trump demonstrators took to the streets, police said.
A police cruiser was found parked at 73rd Street and Broadway in Jackson Heights, Queens, around 6 a.m. bearing yellow graffiti that read “FTP,” which protesters use to mean “f–k the police,” cops said.
A second marked car was found a few hours later on East 152nd Street and Tinton Avenue in the Bronx at 9:20 a.m., with what cops believe was a slashed tire, a police spokesman said.
Someone also threw a glass bottle at the front windshield of a marked police cruiser at Marcus Garvey Boulevard and Madison in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, around 9 p.m. Friday, police said.
The vandalism happened about two days after police cars were set aflame in a parking lot outside a Brooklyn NYPD stationhouse in a suspected arson attack.
Last night before the rain I put a package of flamey on the wheel of a police van by union and metropolitan in williamsburg. I don’t know exactly what happened next, but I’m glad I did it and recommend everyone try as many firey ways as possible for as long as breaking cop toys is seen as violence while people being forcefully removed from their loved ones and from the ground and resources they have every right to by being born on this planet is seen as law and routine.
Against a coward hearted nation that fronts for free speech while allowing a young woman to be jumped in the street for writing against genocide, and organizers and protesters to be kidnapped.
Against a fraudulent country that is willing to expose its illusion of liberty as posturing as long as it can stay scared of brown people’s freedom.
For Rumeysa Ozturk, for Mahmoud Khalil, for all the families, friends, nieghbors imprisoned. For everyone stolen from us, from one of so many who WILL. NOT. FORGET THEM.

Arsonists torched at least 11 NYPD vehicles in a targeted attack in a Brooklyn parking lot early Thursday — with undetonated explosive devices also found after two masked suspects were seen running away, police and sources said.
Police and FDNY responded to a report of multiple vehicles ablaze at a lot in Bushwick at the intersection of Central and DeKalb avenues — just a block from the 83rd Precinct station house — around 1:30 a.m. Thursday.
Mayor Eric Adams said at an unrelated press conference that 11 vehicles were damaged and 14 were impacted. No injuries were reported.
Cops also discovered three incendiary devices that did not go off placed on cars in the lot soon after two people wearing masks and gloves were seen running away, sources said.
Photos from the scene obtained by [news source] show spheres with wicks sticking out above a tire on the cars — similar to fire starters that can be bought at Home Depot.
Video obtained by [news source] from an adjacent building shows one of the suspects in all black walking up to the Central Ave side of the lot. He then sets up a wooden table, checks if the coast was clear, and throws himself over the fence, the video shows.
“He used that wooden table there. He put it right here in the corner and he held on to this gate on the side and then climbed over. You could see in the video, you could see him pretty clear,” resident Miriam Benado, a retired housekeeper, said.
She said the man was “short and slim” and wearing all black. Benado assumes that he lives somewhere in the neighborhood “by the way he knew where everything was.”
“When the cops were trying to get into the gate, he didn’t panic and run back to where he came in. He knew where the back alley was … Most people don’t know that that even exists,” she said.
Nick Lopez, who lives directly across the street from the parking lot, said he realized immediately the fire “wasn’t a coincidence,” and described hearing the loud explosions as the cars burned.
The NYPD did not immediately give a suspected motive for the attack, however a flyer taped to a wall directly across from the police station accuses officers of the 83rd precinct of breaking up Puerto Rican Day festivities on Sunday night, injuring revelers.
The fliers called for resistance against the police, and tied in the anti-ICE and protests have spread from Los Angeles to New York City and global anti-Israel protests.
“Now is the time for unified, disciplined action — from Palestine to Puerto Rico to Los Angeles, the struggle for freedom continues,” the flier read.
Although no connection has yet to be made by cops, the attack was celebrated by one passerby walking past the scene early Thursday calling it “awesome” and “f–king rad.”
Mayor Adams said the “damage is unacceptable and we will find the person involved.”
“We refuse to allow disorder to reign in our city” he added.
Multiple NYPD cars were set on fire in the early, early morning of Thursday June 12th. The cars were just waiting there, practically begging for a new makeover! Tips on replicating this can be found on most counterinfo sites or just common knowledge; this was way easy. And so fun. Apologies to the community for the smell and the noise. And fuck you and haha to that pig—yeah, you know who you are.
There are many reasons for doing this, but for the sake of time it can be boiled down to four: 1) Solidarity with the uprising happening in Los Angeles where community and rebels are fighting Amerikkkan pig forces. From one cop city to another, death to the pigs and the surveillance state. 2) Revenge for the NYPD’s continuous physical and sexual harassment/assault of protestors, particularly femmes (incidents include removing of hijabs, forced nudity, degrading remarks, and more). 3) Something to show that repression breeds resistance and 4) Demonstrating that solidarity with the Palestinian resistance, immigrants, Black people doesn’t mean pointless demos where everyone gets arrested, endless marches to nowhere, and vapid chants. Solidarity means ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!
Sincerely, the anarchists and the rats and the brats and the lawless.
More than a dozen people were taken into custody during a protest at Brooklyn College on Thursday.
The NYPD said seven people were arrested, and seven others were issued summonses.
Video showed demonstrators on the school’s quad near eight tents. The protesters had Palestinian flags and several banners, including one reading, “Stop cop city. Free Palestine.”
The protest happened one day after dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators were arrested after occupying a room in Columbia University’s Butler Library.
On Tuesday night [April 15] we punctured tires on 8 NYPD cars and sprayed “PIG” all over them at the 88th precinct right under their stupid noses. When the pigs are too complacent then collectively we are doing something wrong.
The 88th precinct is known for it’s tyrannical rule over both local community and new migrant neighbors. It famously collaborated with ICE during the 2020 George Floyd uprising by using ICE to guard their precinct building besieged by massive protests.
Five years later and where are we now? Every day another human being murdered in custody, through neglect or savage beatings. Robert Brooks and Messiah Nantwi. Five people have died at Rikers just this year. Two died in nyc holding cells just in the past month before even being arraigned.
Every day another neighbor disappeared into some far off prison, never to be seen again (look up CECOT). Every day another student kidnapped by ICE. Every day another community invaded by fascists demanding papers and hunting Black and Brown people for sport.
Every day another family incinerated by USA-made bombs in Palestine and Yemen.
When will it stop? We must come to a point where we realize that NOTHING WILL STOP if we don’t MAKE IT STOP. No amount of appealing to politicians, to cops, to institutions like Columbia, will help us. Let go of that, and we free ourselves.
The Empire must fall. Strike where you are, at whatever institution you can that upholds this whole stinking pile of dogshit. Every strike against the NYPD is a strike for communities both here and all over the world. May the strength of revolutionaries who have lived and died for liberation be with you.
The NYPD is searching for the vandals who carved a swastika on a parked Tesla in Brooklyn.
It’s part of a growing number of attacks against Teslas amid CEO Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency and the slashing of thousands of federal jobs.
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is now investigating the Cybertruck that was vandalized in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Video released by the NYPD shows one suspect crouch down next to the Cybertruck and allegedly carve a swastika and the word “Nazi” onto the door while another suspect looked on.
It happened on Monroe Street early Thursday morning.
Another incident was reported Thursday, which happened on March 13.
A 38-year-old man found a sticker with a swastika and “Musk” written on it affixed to the driver’s side rear bumper of his Tesla sedan, parked at Hawthorne Street and Rogers Avenue in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn.
This follows another similar act of vandalism in the city. Police say two suspects painted a red swastika on a Cybertruck near the intersection of Rivington and Chrystie streets on the Lower East Side.
It happened on March 6 after 10 p.m. The Hate Crimes Task Force is also involved in that investigation.
In South Jersey, neighbors are on alert after they say a man aggressively pursued several Tesla owners over the weekend.
This was in the Cherry Hill neighborhood Saturday evening, when the driver of a red Acura SUV was spotted antagonizing Tesla drivers.
“He was driving on the wrong side of the road and driving very erratically,” a victim said. “The person driving the red SUV blocked us from pulling out of the driveway, rolled down his window, and said, ‘You know why, right?’ And flipped us the middle finger.”
Since NYC power brokers have decided that they would rather build jails to lock up New Yorkers than invest in our communities, we’ve decided to issue our own stop work order on the Brooklyn jail construction site.
We clogged the locks of construction site entrances with cement, smashed their card readers, and locked the gates at multiple locations operated by the jail’s concrete supplier, SRM.
The $3 billion Brooklyn jail is part of the city’s $16 billion borough-based jails plan. In addition to Brooklyn, new jails are being built in Manhattan, Queens, and The Bronx. The city is propagating the lie that in order to to close Rikers by 2027, it needs to open four new jails. Given that the city has already admitted that it can’t meet its legally mandated deadline, that the building plans for these new jails already anticipate overcrowding, and that the number of people arrested by the NYPD has doubled since 2020, we’re calling their bluff. More cages won’t close Rikers or make our communities safer. If they build it, we will burn it!
We act in solidarity with abolitionists inside and outside of prison walls, with those who riot against corrections officers and ICE, and with those trying to save their family members state-sanctioned premature death. Every struggle against racism, fascism, zionism, colonialism, xenophobia, and cisheteropatriarchy must also be a struggle against the carceral state.
To the city: decarcerate now, and build affordable housing instead. Do something that will actually benefit our communities.
To SRM Concrete: drop your contract for the borough-based jails now.
To our fellow New Yorkers: join us in action and make your voices heard. No new jails. No more deaths at the hands of the state.
Last night, some people with consciences painted the front of Brooklyn Navy Yard red with fire extinguishers, and spray painted “Evict Easy Aerial” and “Evict Crye Precision” on its columns. Brooklyn Navy Yard houses Easy Aerial and Crye Precision, which make drones and equipment for the Zionist military, as well as the US military and the NYPD. They have no place in our city or our world. We act in support of Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard. Their demands are the bare minimum, and painting is a relatively moderate action. Death to the war machine. Free Palestine. Free Turtle Island.
