City Hall’s budget hearing of adding new NYPD officers was met with constant disruption from protestors who see it as both a waste of money and a step that further worsen the community under Commissioner Bill Bratton’s “Broken Windows” policy. They instead advocate for better use of this money on public needs that are really beneficial to the community such as transportation and education. The whole public was ordered out of the hearing, and one person was arrested during the demonstration.
