Washington Square Park meeting in NYC descends into chaos

Unruly attendees at a Greenwich Village, New York, community board meeting argued with officials and older local residents about whether cops should crack down on late-night, wild parties inside Washington Square Park.

A majority of participants were rowdy and disruptive as they accused cops of targeting minorities and using excessive tactics to enforce a midnight curfew in the park. NYPD Captain Stephen Spataro, the commanding officer of the 6th precinct, was called a "racist piece of s—t" who will "go to hell," as protestors shouted at a joint-panel of local officials comprised of CB2 representatives from the Parks and Waterfront committee and Human Services committee.
