On Monday evening, the highest-ranking uniformed member of the NYPD took a knee to show his support for protesters at Washington Square Park. Visibly emotional, the Chief of Department Terence Monahan took a knee and then proceeded to hug George Floyd protesters. After a few people threw bottles at the cops, a peaceful organizer with a megaphone approached Monahan and asked him to take a knee for peace. Stories like this are now proliferating left and right. Amidst the chaos, the healing is now beginning. Let’s work to unite and create, not divide and destroy.
