Details are in short supply right now but we know that the NYPD charged the post-vigil march last night with horses. The counter-terrorism squad, also tasked with policing protests, was on hand for the vigil as well.
The shooter, pictured above in his NYPD gear, is just another example of the toxic masculinity that is such a problem in this country, from domestic abuse, to police violence, to massacres of this sort. Until we directly confront this culture of violence from the top to the bottom those of us in marginalized groups won’t be safe.
