Targeting NY Pig Academy

3 November 2024 – Anonymous submission:

Stop Cop City. This Means War.

On September 15, pigs in Brownsville opened fire on the L train over $2.90. The pigs shot three people over fare evasion. In the following weeks, pigs across the city brutalized and mass arrested anyone who protested against police terrorism.

We’ve all seen the increase of pigs in our communities, the national guard at subway stations, private security firms such as Allied partnering with the MTA. We’ve seen the blueprints for a 300-ft. high jail in Chinatown. We’ve seen an increase in violent sweeps of both street vendors and our homeless neighbors. Now, we’ve seen the announcement of a $225 million dollar copy city in Queens set to break ground in 2026 in College Point. Its purported goal is to consolidate training for 18 city agencies, including the departments of sanitation, homeless services, and children’s services. This facility aims to militarize city government workers against our most vulnerable neighbors and we are the ones paying for it to be built.

This on top of the nypd’s already-bloated budget, a record-breaking $12 Billion in 2025. This on top of the $22 Billion dollars the u.s. has sent to the zionist entity to fund its sadistic genocide in Gaza and its state terrorism in the West Bank, 48, Lebanon and Yemen. This on top of centuries of extraction to fund and pervade ever-expanding empire. Let this small act be a drop in a wave of abolitionist action.

FUCK 12, FUCK THE EMPIRE, SINWAR LIVES, ALL GLORY TO THE RESISTANCE.

Person charged with vandalizing Rep. Adriano Espaillat’s Manhattan office, which displays Israeli hostage posters

Police have charged [someone] for allegedly vandalizing the Manhattan district office of New York Rep. Adriano Espaillat last month.

Espaillat’s office in Washington Heights was splattered with red paint by two people, in an action similar to other recent incidents of anti-Israel vandalism. The two vandals also used hammers to smash the office’s windows, which displays fliers of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.

The incident took place in the predawn hours of Oct. 8, less than two weeks after the office had been hit with anti-Israel graffiti.

Security footage from the Oct. 8 incident showed two masked individuals carrying out the vandalism. The NYPD told the [news source] that police were still seeking the second individual.

The suspect who was arrested was charged with criminal mischief in the 3rd degree, a felony, along with two misdemeanors – making graffiti and possession of graffiti instruments. Court records showed that [the person] pleaded not guilty and has been released on bail.

The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force had investigated the incident, but there were no hate crimes charges in the arrest report. Espaillat is not Jewish.

Espaillat is a Democrat representing Upper Manhattan and part of the Bronx. He has voted for additional aid to Israel and has spoken out in support of Israeli hostages, security funding for Jewish institutions, and Jewish students at Columbia University.

In the two days before the incident, he shared a message of solidarity with families of those held hostage by Hamas, attended the Oct. 7 memorial ceremony in Central Park, and stopped by a neighborhood commemoration event blocks away from his district office. The office is regularly picketed by small groups of pro-Palestinian protesters.

The New York Democratic Congressional Delegation condemned the vandalism shortly after it occurred, saying it came on a day of “solemn reflection” over the Oct. 7 attacks.

In the defacing of Espaillat’s office two weeks before the Oct. 8 incident, vandals scrawled “F— Israel,” “40k dead,” “genocide lover” and “terrorist” in red paint on the storefront office’s window and door. The graffiti also had an inverted red triangle.

Other pro-Israel New York congressmen have had their offices hit with anti-Israel graffiti since Oct. 7, including Reps. Daniel Goldman and Ritchie Torres, both Democrats, and Republican Rep. Mike Lawler.

Targeting New York Pig Department Vehicles – “Bring the War Home!”

15 October 2024 – Anonymous submission:

“PUBLIC SAFETY PIGS OFF CAMPUS”
“FREE PALESTINE”
“BRING THE WAR HOME”

FROM BROOKLYN TO BEIRUT, FROM HARLEM TO GAZA –
LONG LIVE THE STUDENT INTIFADA!

Early on the morning of October 15th, we, people of conscience and revolutionary mind, targeted a car of the New York Pig Department-trained CUNY Public Occupiers on CUNY Brooklyn College’s campus. We condemn the CUNY administration, the Brooklyn College administration, and the kkkillers of the NYPD, for their complacency in the genocide of the people of the nation of Palestine and the destruction of Lebanon and Yemen, and for their oppression and destruction of the New York City community.

We demand the end of the BC Study in Occupied Palestine Program that sends ripe new settlers and hopeful IOF reservists to learn in Haifa, Al Naqab (“Negev”), Yaffa (“Tel Aviv”), and Al Quds (“East Jerusalem”) while the zionist entity has destroyed every last university in Gaza.

We demand cops OFF of Brooklyn College’s campus.

We demand that tuition be made FREE once again.

Racism is embedded into the history of BC. Before it was forcibly racially integrated, tuition was free. Campus was open to the public. Ever since they were forced to allow non-white people to attend, they charged thousands, built walls and gates, and positioned a pig at every entryway. Today, those same pigs are trained by the criminal zionist occupation forces in how to surveil, oppress, intimidate, maim, and kill the members of the communities they have infiltrated. Those same pigs let a zionist “lawmaker” of New York, Inna Vernikov, flaunt a pistol in her waistband at a student protest for Palestinian liberation at Brooklyn College and let her walk free. When she turned herself in willingly, the crimimal DA let her off without any charges.

This is the reality of the militarization and the violent enforcement of white supremacist hegemony in amerikkka — the violent hegemony that lynched Derrell Mickles, maimed and permanently disabled two others at Sutter Ave — which we aim to dismantle, brick by brick, pig car by pig car. We have answered NYC Rev Youth’s call to take action on the pigs of all NYC campuses between the dates of 10/14-10/22 and encourage everyone reading this to go out and do the same. We ALL have a duty to rout the standing pig military from our cities, our nation, and our campuses.

To the pigs, BC admin and CUNY admin: we will be back again and again until you take your grimy, genocidal talons out of the hearts of the people of the Middle East.

STOP COP NATION!
HANDS OFF THE MIDDLE EAST!
FREE PALESTINE!​​​​​​​

Burning New York Pig Department Effigy

7 October 2024 – Anonymous submission:

An hour ago, at Union Square during WOL’s march commemorating Operation Al Aqsa Flood, a New York Pig Department effigy was set on fire. This comes 2 weeks after NYC’s cop mayor Eric Adam was indicted on corruption charges, 3 weeks after armed pigs committed a mass shooting at the Sutter Avenue subway station, and after 365 days of NYPD violently repressing pro-Palestine protests throughout the city.

Make no mistake: New York City is a fully militarized Cop City. The same forces that terrorize working class black and brown New Yorkers also brutalize us for opposing genocide. They are armed agents of the settler empire that is Amerika, paid to enforce the global hierarchy of races through violence.

So today, on the one year anniversary of Al Aqsa Flood, we say:
PIGS OUT OF SUBWAYS!
DISBAND THE STRATEGIC RESPONSE GROUP!
ABOLISH THE COUNTERTERRORISM UNIT!
STOP QUEENS COP CITY!
STOP COP NATION!

Morning Picket at Home of Rebecca Weiner

Anonymous submission: The movement for a free Palestine can not and will not be locked behind or shut out by campus gates. Inside campus, outside campus — Palestine is in all of us and there will be no escape for manufacturers of genocide until Palestine is free. THIS MORNING, on the anniversary of the glorious Al-Aqsa Flood, Columbia’s top cop 🐷👮‍♀️ Rebecca Weiner was visited by her very own wake-up picket at 7:30 AM, at her residence in Brooklyn.

Weiner is NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Counterterrorism and their liaison in “Tel Aviv.” She boasts about receiving hourly updates from the NYPD’s own office in occupied Palestinian land, underscoring the financial and ideological ties between the IOF and the Amerikan police.

She was commended by Eric Adams for spearheading the brutal arrests of three hundred pro-Palestine protestors at Columbia University, including the use of live ammunition, a BearCat tank, and flash bangs grenades on protestors inside Hind’s Hall.

In May 2023, Wiener was appointed to Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs, cementing the ties between the NYPD, the IOF, and the moneyed universities which, behind their closely surveilled gates, launder the despicable crimes of the imperial core.

Our demand is not “no cops on campus;” our demand is TEAR DOWN THE GATES. No more gentrification and policing in New York City to protect the garish strongholds of Amerikan empire; no more cops period; fuck your $2.90.

Weiner proudly boasts about her family ties to the Manhattan project. Her grandfather, Stanislaw Ulam, was one of the developers of the atomic bo

mb- tested on stolen Navajo land and used to slaughter and maim millions of Japanese civilians over generations.

No matter where you go, Palestine is everywhere. No cowardly Columbia University administrator, trustee, or faculty member will know peace while materially supporting the genocide and slaughter of Palestinian people.

Vandalism at Baruch College

Activists vandalized the windows of Baruch College’s dining hall on the early hours of October 6th to demands cops off campus and for Baruch administration to slash all ties with the racist NYPD. Simultaneously the walls of Baruch’s 55 Lexington Ave campus were vandalized with the slogan “Oct 7th is Forever” to honor the operation Al-Aqsa Flood which shattered the myth of US-Israeli invincibility on October 7th 2023.

“Live Free, Ride Free, Fuck NYPD”

 

Last week, a series of demonstrations took place in New York City after police attacked a person they accused of dodging the fare on the subway. The police opened fire, shooting the suspect, a police officer, and multiple other people who happened to be in the station. This shows the real cost of police enforcing subway fare. We received the following report from a mass fare evasion action in Manhattan on the evening of September 18.

It’s senseless to have police randomly shooting people to enforce a $2.90 fare. The subways should be free, as they chiefly serve to put working-class people at the disposal of capitalist profiteers in the first place. The resources to make this possible exist—they are simply held hostage by the ruling class, to whom the lives of ordinary people have no worth.

It was a demonstration very much like the one described below that set off the Chilean uprising of 2019, triggering copycat actions in the United States. Struggles against the cost of public transit and the murderous police that enforce it continue around the world.

Activists target Brooklyn home of NYPD cop they say aggressively handled protest

Activists targeted the Brooklyn home of an NYPD cop, accusing him of aggressively handling a protest over a police-involved shooting in a Brooklyn subway station a day earlier.

The protesters showed up at the cop’s home in Sunset Park about 9:45 p.m. Monday and began yelling at him from the sidewalk after spotting him on his front porch.

“We want justice! We want Justin!” the protesters screamed, using the cop’s first name after he retreated into his home.

The officer called 911 as the protesters set fire to an American flag and threw objects at the aluminum-sided home. When on-duty cops arrived, the crowd quickly dispersed and no arrests were made, officials said.

The NYPD’s Threat Assessment Unit was notified of the protest at the officer’s home and cops have been sitting outside his house keeping watch since Monday, a police source said.

On Sunday, the targeted officer, who joined the NYPD in January 2023, helped handle a protest outside 73rd Precinct stationhouse over the Sept. 15 subway shooting that left four wounded, including a fellow officer, by police bullets.

An activist who felt the officer was overly aggressive in his response to the stationhouse protest took a picture of him. No arrests were made at the Sunday night protest.

“An individual took a photo of an officer and posted their personal address on social media,” an NYPD spokesman said. The targeted officer was not part of the Sept. 15 subway incident.

In a social media video, one of the protesters who showed up outside the cop’s home recaps the incident, accusing the targeted officer of being “very aggressive” against protesters the day before, saying the officer “put his hands” on a few of them outside the stationhouse.

“You all shot the subway up — we didn’t do it. Now we’re going to start doing house visits to everyone in that goddamn (police) station. It’s all about making them feel it. It’s all about making them scared of us. It’s all about making them quit their f—ing job.”

Stand with Muslim Youth Leaders Against NYPD Violence: Eric Adams Must Resign

wolpalestine.com/adamsresign September 24, 2024 NYPD brutalizes, arrests and hospitalizes multiple protesters, including WOL Leader Abdullah Akl. In response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the zionist bombing in Lebanon, which murdered over 550 people, New Yorkers flooded the streets of Manhattan to demand liberation during the 79th United Nations General Assembly. With a green light from disgraced Mayor Eric Adams, the NYPD escalates its barbarity, brutalizing and arresting dozens of protestors. WOL organizer and youth leader in the Muslim community Abdullah Akl remains hospitalized with serious injuries. As our community is outraged, these are our demands for justice.

Our Demands

Following months of barbaric brutality from the NYPD, we demand:

1. The resignation of Eric Adams

From federal investigation, to emboldening his police forces to attack protesters, the disgraced Zionist mayor is not fit for NYC.

2. The disbandment of the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group

The SRG is a notoriously violent rapid response group of the NYPD tasked with policing protests, best known for its violence, misconduct, and racial bias.

3. Shut down NYPD’s office in occupied Palestine

The NYPD regularly coordinates with the zionist occupation to surveil Palestinian, Arab and Muslim New Yorkers from its office in occupied Palestine.

Statement on Emergency Action to Flood Manhattan for Lebanon

Tonight, the NYPD unleashed the full force of their violence against New York’s Palestinian, Arab and Muslim communities in an attempt block us from protesting the United Nations as the General Assembly commences this week. WOL leader Abdullah Akl was violently arrested and sent to the hospital tonight. Dozens of others were also brutally attacked by SRG officers who clearly targeted Muslim youth leaders, as the unit serves to criminalize Black and Brown communities.

Thousands of New Yorkers took to the streets today after “israel” massacred over 500 people in Lebanon on Monday. As the US demonstrates its barbaric support for the genocidal Zionist project and opposition to it grows worldwide, the NYPD has escalated its brutality against our movement.

FREE FARE: Bedford L train station smashed

Monday night at the Bedford Ave L train station in Brooklyn, we smashed 8 OMNY readers, 1 OMNY machine, and 2 MTA machines. We made the fare FREE because they had to open the emergency door to let people in. This is in direct response to the L train mass shooting committed by NYPD, when they shot Derrel Mickells and two bystanders over $2.90, in a Black neighborhood under militarized police occupation. New Yorkers say enough is enough and fuck your fare.

We live in a world in which the pig enforcers of racial capitalism can casually shoot us over a few dollars. All our lives especially Black lives are worth less than $2.90 to them. Whether it’s paying the pigs to menace Black and Brown communities and restrict movement, for funding genocide near and far, or creating technology to convenience the rich and confine the poor, capitalism is designed to kill.

This is a call to action. Anyone can do this. Gather info, plan well, be covered, be their nightmare. Let’s all smash! Puncture the walls of the techno-prison and see real light, breathe real air, and destory the fare!
