another cop in the head with a fire extinguisher are signs of a peaceful evening in New York.

Just another day in "a perfect storm of chaos"
“We’ve had, in The Bronx, bricks thrown at cops and the precinct station houses,” Shea said Wednesday. “We’ve seen some of those innocuous plastic bottles that you see thrown during protests where it’s only a water bottle. [What] the media has not reported is that those water bottles are often filled with cement.
“We have vehicles that would appear as if our doors are hit with a Louisville Slugger swung by, you know, Mark McGwire, leaving dents in the car doors, by a simple water bottle filled with cement.”
Most of the looting, in fact, appears to be the work of native New Yorkers, often working in concert, the officials said.
“Then [there’s] an organized group of criminals doing things like looting for pure financial gain, pure criminal gain, nothing to do with the protest whatsoever,” said de Blasio. “Just plain old crime, and they will be dealt with.”
The opportunists, who have laid waste in particular to trendy shopping districts in SoHo and along Fifth Avenue, generally hail from inside the five boroughs, according to Shea.
“We’re seen a lot from Brooklyn, from The Bronx coming south to Manhattan,” he said. “We’ve seen some looting [a] couple nights ago in The Bronx, there was a number of Bronx homegrown residents participating in that.”
Many of the looters prepared their getaway in advance by stashing cars, vans and trucks many of them with stolen plates — in the area prior to striking, police sources told The Post.
