NYPD Silencing Protesters ; Cops Stop Mic Check Regarding NDAA
A protester went to Grand Central Terminal in New York City to inform the public that President Barack Obama and Congress passed the latest Pentagon budget, known as the National Defense Authorization Act (the ''NDAA''), which this year contained a dangerous provision allowing for the indefinite detention of American citizens. The two protesters, who initiated mic checks at Grand Central, have been identified as Lauren Digioia and Zach Kamel. The protesters were arrested by the New York Police Department. It is not yet known if the protesters are being indefinitely detained.
