BUSHWICK, Brooklyn (WABC) -- The NYPD is searching for a masked suspect seen fleeing the scene after at least 11 police vehicles went up in flames early Thursday morning.

When officers went to investigate, they found undetonated explosive devices, similar to M-80s, on three other cars around the charred NYPD vehicles in Brooklyn.

"We want to be clear, no one has a license to commit violence in our city, especially against law enforcement, this damage is unacceptable and we will find the person who is involved," Mayor Eric Adams said.

Property destruction now counts as violence if it’s NYPD property.

Officer Crown Victoria was killed in the line of duty (the parking lot) just days before retirement (getting sold for parts)

the '80' in M80 stands for 80 kilos of TNT equivalent

Assuming everyone will recognize this as a joke, but "80" is for the 80 grains (5.2 grams) of flash powder in one. Real M80s are just above the legal limit for consumer fireworks, and require a license. But fireworks of a similar size with less charge are often labeled "M80" for marketing.

"I understand the rebellion, you know, especially with our families getting ripped apart," said business owner Jessica Walker.

But Walker says she doesn't support the violence. The former police officer turned businesswoman rushed to her new store after she heard about the fire.

"The neighbors are extremely scared," Walker said. "Business owners are extremely scared. It could have been really explosive and really damaging."

Holding her 1-year-old daughter, Walker says the attack on police property is one reason she got off the force

"It wasn't really a good space in the sense of safety and protection for my family," she said.

LOL ✨ BUSINESS WOMEN ✨ AND 🚨 COP 🚨 ⁉️

Of course the only "person" they interview is a pig

I'm starting to think that cops set their own cars on fire so that they will get new cars.

They have confidential informants they bribe, they could easily pay someone to do this, and for the guy getting paid it's a win-win.

Explosives made of unused fire starter balls(?) and hay? Not fedposting ing but that just sounds flammable, not explosive.

[–] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

Low explosives, maybe? Will deflagrate rather than detonate?
