Protesters called NYPD Capt. Stephen Spataro, the commanding officer of the 6th Precinct, a \u201cracist piece of sh*t\u201d and said he should \u201cgo to hell,\u201d according to The New York Post. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/07\/12\/anti-police-protest-oakland-memorial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Anti-Police Protesters Disrupt Memorial For Victims Of Gun Violence)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Spataro insisted that crime and vandalism have decreased since July 1 in the park due to an influx of police whose presence \u201cdeters\u201d crime and makes people \u201cfeel safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[W]e\u2019re there just to make everyone feel safe, but we will [make] arrests when need be.

On June 5, I was the first person brutally arrested. I was not there to protest. It was 10:05 p.m., and five men pulled me forward, and threw me facedown on the ground, and bloodied my friend that was next to me while I was walking backwards,\u201d Krahne said, according to the Post.<\/p>\n<p>Spataro said that people were warned multiple times that they could be arrested if they didn\u2019t respect the curfew. The police captain also said that several police officers were attacked in the past few months, according to the New York Post.<\/p>\n<p>During the meeting, David \u201cShaman\u201d Ortiz reportedly said he was the one that started the partying and boxing matches in Washington Square Park.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we do is we amplify the sound and the communication of the community that\u2019s already been there in Washington Square Park for forever,\u201d he said, according to the Post.<\/p>\n<p>Ortiz reportedly charged a table that panel members were sitting at and yelled at the officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know I\u2019m out of turn, according to the Bluebook rules, but I just found what you did to be very intimidating, coming straight at me.
