NYPD ramps up security for New Year's Eve ball drop in Times Square with THOUSANDS of cops, robots and drones as Pro-Palestine protestors are set to disrupt the event
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The New York City Police Department is ramping up security for the New Year's Eve ball drop in Times Square over fears Pro-Palestine protestors are set to disrupt it. It is deploying thousands of officers to the area and could use a combination of robots, drones and detection dogs to prevent any interruption to the event, which annually attracts an estimated one million people. Mayor Eric Adams said he is 'sure' Pro-Palestine protestors will try to cause disruption at the famous New Year's Eve ball drop. 'We’re sure there’s gonna be some type of attempt this year,' he said at a news conference on Tuesday. 'Everyone looks for events like this if they want to do bad things, and the police department is on top of it.' It comes after the protestors, who are calling for a ceasefire as 21,000 Palestinians have been killed in the fight between Israel and Hamas, disrupted the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
