NYC's highest-ranking uniformed member takes a knee, hugs George Floyd protesters

The highest-ranking uniformed member of the NYPD took a knee to show his support for protesters at Washington Square Park.

A visibly emotional Chief of Department Terence Monahan took a knee and hugged George Floyd protesters at the park on Monday evening.

This happened after a few people threw bottles at the cops and a peaceful organizer with a megaphone approached Monahan and he spoke to the crowd.

Monahan said the protest leader asked the chief to take a knee with him for peace.
