    This is such a beautiful example of cherry picking the bits you like. The answer to your question is literally the sentence right above the one you have surgically quoted:

    "Although the councilwoman has a concealed carry permit, she violated the recently passed city law that prohibits civilians from bringing firearms to protests, the police said.

    "At no point in time was anyone menaced or injured as a result of her possessing the firearm at the earlier protest," the NYPD said in a statement."

        Right, but with different sorting, people don't experience the same flow as you and might not see that first. So in this particular conversation thread, you've obfuscated a key part of the information and just 'asked a question' that is phrased in a way to spread misinformation
