According to the NY Post, the grenade, which thankfully turned out to be a toy, was found at the same time that anti-Israel protestors were wreaking havoc in the area.

As a result, the bomb squad could not reach the vehicle as quickly as hoped due to the anti-Israel protest dubbed the ‘Millions March for Palestine.’

NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry posted a video on Twitter and wrote, “Happy Saturday to all! Except the people who thought it was a good idea to block an NYPD ESU vehicle on the way to a bomb threat call. They will be spending their Saturday where they belong – in jail!”

After the arrests, police were able to cordon off the vehicle and secure the grenade, which, according to PIX11 News, was determined to be a toy.

Ol, we now have a game plan. Every time there is a protest, drop off, then call in, a wrapped gift package in the area that contains either a toy grenade or decommissioned one like the one Abbotsford Police say workers at the store called for help on Monday when they found a Second World War era grenade in the bin. Const. Art Stele says police shut down the store.Officers with the explosives disposal unit then moved in and determined the grenade had been decommissioned.

Eddie Caban started this trend, by allowing these pro Hamas agitators to punch hapless cops in the face and get away with it. Eddie Caban is a affirmative action coward and must be fired. There is more to policing than giving out parking tickets in all white neighborhoods.

Oh please. It’s not the protesters fault. It’s the dumb, incompetent and corrupt Adams and his administration that allow these mamzeirim to tie up traffic and cause mayhem like this. It’s absolutely on them.
