Brooklyn, NY — As doctors, nurses, and other medical staff bravely battle the coronavirus on the front lines, there are other industries out there who are providing extremely vital services, but get overlooked. In a time in which grocery store shelves are being emptied at furious rates, truck drivers are tirelessly carrying tons of supplies from coast to coast to make sure society does not break down during this crisis. The supplies range from food to medical supplies that are invaluable during these times. One would think that these brave men and women behind the big wheels would be given leeway by law enforcement during this outbreak. However, as the following case illustrates, one would be wrong. In many places, these truck drivers are actually greeted with kindness and thanked for their service. In Eufaula, Alabama, the police department announced they wanted to help the hungry truck drivers, AL.com reported. “To that end, if you are a truck driver, and need to take time off the road in Eufaula, we will assist you in getting food,” the Eufaula Police Department posted on their official Facebook page. “With more and more restaurants limiting their dining room access, it is becoming harder for our truck driving friends to find places to eat. We will either go get something for you, or give you a ride to the nearest drive through (if you don’t mind riding in the back seat).” “We are working non-stop, but it’s to make sure people get what they need,” says Ronda Aucoin, a truck driver from Kentucky. Aucoin told KRNV that people have been kind of enough to bring her a warm meal when she and her daughter post-up at truck stops across the country. “Nevadans have been especially nice since a few places are closed and not allowing us to stay the night when we’re done working,” says Aucoin. But these cases are in Nevada and Alabama. In New York, the same brave men and women hauling crucial supplies during this crisis are being preyed on by police. Instead of bringing them warm food and salutations, officers from the NYPD’s 66th Precinct brought them extortion and theft. Because many rest stops are closed across the country, Truckers have been forced to stop on the side of the road to sleep while hauling these supplies. Instead of realizing this, NYPD cops raided the sleeping truckers, issued them fines and impounded their vehicles — for sleeping on the side of the road. Completely oblivious to the heinous nature of preying on people trying to keep the nation from falling into chaos, the officers who conducted the raid took to Twitter to brag about it. “Our traffic safety officer was out on Bay pkwy towing these illegally parked trailers,” the NYPD 66th Precinct tweeted on Monday morning. “Please remember commercial vehicles cannot be parked on residential blocks.” The tweet has since been deleted after they received a massive wave of backlash. The act of extorting truckers hauling much need supplies was so over the top that it even drew criticism from other cops. Even the pro-police media outlet Blue Lives Matter decried the actions of NYPD’s 66 Precinct in an article on Tuesday. Blue Lives Matter described what happened in the 66th Precinct as “utterly disgusting.” Also, retired NYPD Detective David Chianese captured the tweet and then took to his Advocacy for LEOs Blog to sarcastically flog the “brave” cops for raiding sleeping truckers. Parked along a deserted mixed-use street in the wee hours of the morning lay truckers. Over the road truckers who have been working nonstop the last few weeks in a desperate attempt to win shelf space in stores to prevent the American people from going without. Truckers sleeping in their rigs to catch a few moments of rest before pulling out to take loaded trailers to their next destination. Trailers full of water, diapers, baby formula, and the ever-elusive toilet paper. Trailers that will now go undelivered and further set back the fight to keep goods flowing to stores so that the citizens of the United States have what they need. As the sun slowly begins to crack just over the elevated subway station, a crack comes over the radio signaling the beginning of “Operation Cluster F**k”. An operation spearheaded and ran by no other than Long Island native, Deputy Inspector James King. Like the brave soldiers on Omaha Beach, members of the 66 Pct and the NYPD Traffic Enforcement Division charged the block and risked it all to wake sleeping out of state truckers. Luckily, this time, the waters would not turn red from the blood of slaughtered patriots risking their lives to save an enslaved nation halfway across the world but it would mean people not getting what they need, while sitting in quarantine during the largest global emergency since the deadly Spanish influenza pandemic of 1918. Blue Lives Matter said they spoke with an NYPD official who said the cops in the 66th precinct are doing the bidding of community leaders who don’t want trucks parked in their neighborhoods. “This is a situation where the precinct commander didn’t have the balls to tell the community leaders that they’re being ridiculous,” the NYPD official told Blue Lives Matter. “Why would he send officers to mess with these truckers who need to deliver supplies, effectively exposing all of the officers and the truckers to each other for no reason? It’s just inexcusable.” And there you have it. To “keep you safe” during this crisis, at the behest of their rich community leaders, cops are extorting truck drivers and impounding the supplies they are hauling which are keeping the country from falling into utter chaos. Seems legit.

Nah nevermind. Not reading the article. Matt lies too much.
Virtually all of Matt's articles are backed up by other websites and media outlets. AllIn Eufaula, Alabama, the police department announced they wanted to help the hungry truck drivers, AL.com reported. “To that end, if you are a truck driver, and need to take time off the road in Eufaula, we will assist you in getting food,” the Eufaula Police Department posted on their official Facebook page. Aucoin told KRNV that people have been kind of enough to bring her a warm meal when she and her daughter post-up at truck stops across the country. Also, retired NYPD Detective David Chianese captured the tweet and then took to his Advocacy for LEOs Blog to sarcastically flog the “brave” cops for raiding sleeping truckers. Even the pro-police media outlet Blue Lives Matter decried the actions of NYPD’s 66 Precinct in an article on Tuesday. Blue Lives Matter described what happened in the 66th Precinct as “utterly disgusting.” There's FIVE links right there!
Five links of truths to support a deceptive article –
Of course, the links support Matt's article. Advocacy for LEOs Blog? Blue Lives Matter? Eufaula Police Department Facebook Page? Alabama.com? KNRV News 4? All of these sites have the same agenda as FTP? Seriously? You're a frigging joke!
Five links of truths to support a deceptive article – Does not one lie by Matt Agorist cancel ... The five links of truth did not in any way pertain to the NYPD which Matt Argoist was writing about. They were simply inserted into the article by Matt Agorist merely to present some undeniable truths which Matt Agorist used to support his lie. I advocate for no one You ask: “Seriously?” I answer: Yes. You say: “You're a frigging joke!” I say: I am your worst nightmare constantly hounding you to stop posting and supporting lie. I will continue to do that …
Good grief! These two did: The tweet has since been deleted after they received a massive wave of backlash. The act of extorting truckers hauling much need supplies was so over the top that it even drew criticism from other cops. Even the pro-police media outlet Blue Lives Matter decried the actions of NYPD’s 66 Precinct in an article on Tuesday. Blue Lives Matter described what happened in the 66th Precinct as “utterly disgusting.” Also, retired NYPD Detective David Chianese captured the tweet and then took to his Advocacy for LEOs Blog to sarcastically flog the “brave” cops for raiding sleeping truckers. In Gatlin Bizarro World, the cops are telling the truth, yet Agorist is a liar for linking to the truthful pro-cop pages. Geesh!
Judging from the various articles I read and when sorting through the contradicting information, what I see happened here was that the home owners NYC called in a complaint to the NYPD that big rigs were blocking their driveways in their residential area. Precinct 66 reacted and towed the vehicles in response to those complaints. The complaints must have been lawfully valid for the NYPD to take that action. Then the stupid precinct commanded issued one of the most dumbass tweets I have ever read from any LEO. Two pro-cop web sites condemned the tweets and make comments about the tweet. There was no mention in the tweet that he was responding to the home owners complaint and the wording in his stupid tweet made it appear this was some glorified quasi tow operation. I can find no evidence to show that the pro-cop websites knew that. An anti-cop website picked up on the local information and the original story from the first anti-cop website reverberated through all the other anti-cop websites with each site flavoring it with their own brand of bias. That is the reason Deckard said something like “others are preseting the same information.” Yes, they were parroting. None of these “dark-side” websites took the occasion to link to any media source that presented conflicting information which supported the tow operation. Instead, Matt Agorist linked to some websites far away frp, MUC and in Alabama where folks were doing yoeman’s work to assist long=haul truckers. That information had absolutely nothing to do with the op[eration in NYC. It was merely a “move” to gain “sympathetic support” ny Matt Agorist for his cop-condemning article. It is obvious that it work, judging from the response by a poster here. And Deckard once again operated as a pimp for Matt Agorist by posting this article here … Shameful …
Show me one link in the article that is anti-cop. So...more than one site reported it? Good - Freedom of the press is one of the bedrock principles that real Americans hold dear. You don't like alternative news sites? Stick with your WSJ.

Gratuitous comment – of no relevancy.
