Opponents of a proposed homeless shelter in Gravesend pledged to escalate their protests to Mayor Eric Adams' residence at Gracie Mansion if their demands aren't met.
Council Member Susan Zhuang, arrested during protests, claims she was aiding an elderly woman during a police confrontation, despite NYPD allegations of her aggressive behavior.
Assembly Member William Colton described the events of July 17 as a "disgrace," criticizing the NYPD's actions and claiming they acted as "private security" at the protest site.
Colton emphasized that the clash with local law enforcement on July 17 has caused a significant rift in relationships, declaring it a "terrible disaster" for community trust.
